Was not invited to speak at the convention. Even though candidates with delegates are routinely given speaking time...

I don't know. I just referenced the fact that anyone with delegates is usually given speaking time. Usually at an off-time for people with few delegates, but time nonetheless.

I thought it was an interesting call out and then started thinking about why maybe not.

What faction of the dem party likes her? What leaders are her sponsors?
I saw a Tweet somewhere "Republicans angry that Tulsi not to speak at DNC conference"

Gabbard is also the only non-white candidate of the group. The other six candidates who won delegates—Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigeg and Senator Amy Klobuchar—all spoke over the course of the convention.
The 39-year-old Hawaii congresswoman, whose father is of Samoan ancestry, won more delegates than vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who made history as the first African American and the first Asian American running mate on a major party ticket.
The Democratic Party was criticized last week, after releasing the full convention schedule, when constituents noticed Andrew Yang and Julian Castro were also left off the lineup.
Yang ended up speaking at the virtual convention Thursday after he tweeted his disappointment that the party had not asked him to participate. Democratic lawmakers from California expressed their support for Yang's presence at the DNC.
Why do Democrats hate women of color (other than the one they picked, totally not because of her two X chromosomes and her color)?
