(yes, the simple wiki link is intentional)
Tulsi herself hasn’t hit a nerve at all. Indeed she has barely registered with voters. This is the same fate that has happened to many of the other Dem candidates and despite much more coverage - Tim Ryan would kill for some of the coverage that Tulsi has got.
However her supporters, without evidence, blaming the DCCC for her obvious deficiencies as a candidate is mildly irritating.

i did link earlier that Tulsi is suing Google, do you believe this has no merit?
and which deficencies?
Gabbard had her chance to do something about 8 years a go and blew it.
She wanted Obama to use the term 'radical Islam'. Obama's reasoning for not using that term was sound (the term paints with too broad a brush and serves to further alienate American Muslims).
She saw this as some kind of crusade, eventually cosying up to Bashir AlAsad (sp?).
Now you might agree with her on foreign policy but it has taken her from being a viable candidate to a fringe sideshow.
If you support progressive social issues, you have any number of candidates to choose from so you probably won't pick someone who used to oppose gay marriage and abortion.
If military service is important to you, you could vote for mayor Pete, he's served more recently and also opposes endless war for regime change.
Gabbard had her shot, went up against another Hawaiian, and lost.
I think it paranoid nonsense, stuff like that happens there doesn’t need a vast conspiracy to explain it. I also hate frivolous lawsuits that waste court resources to get attention (see Devin Nunes) and that whole “the system/media is out to get me” card I have never found attractive whoever has used it be it Clinton, Trump, Sanders or now Gabbard.
@Ruairi77 has detailed some of the policy deficiencies but there is just the general one that a few years in the House (or as a mayor) I don’t think is enough of a qualification to be president even with some military experience, same with Tim Ryan, Seth Moulton, Pete Buttigieg...
Gabbard also has been unfortunate enough to get the backing of a lot of Russian trolls.
Russia's propaganda machine discovers 2020 Dem contender Tulsi Gabbard
Experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard.

She also hasn’t been very effective at branding - one likely reason that despite similar resources Yang is at the debate but not Gabbard is he has a very clear message “universal basic income” whereas I have no idea what key thing Gabbard is running on. This is one of the weaknesses of Harris campaign as well fwiw.

she's very young still, she'll be a more present favourite in 2024/28.

Tulsi is anti-conflict, hence the Russians liking her (she attempted peace talks with Assad, which is interpreted as "cosying up" by hawkish US folk).
And they're not trolls, they're people. NBC is hardly trustworthy itself.
It looks to me that Tulsi has rattled something within the pro-establishment ranks, including the commentariat.
Interesting to observe.
you really are putting too much weight behind a candidate who despite out sized media coverage is still polling at about 1%
She's polling behind Marianne Williamson for christ sakes.
Forget it mate he's rattled us and the establishment with the truth haha!
