Honest question here.

Is war for profit, war for unnecessary regime change, war over oil and resources worth wasting our servicemen and women's lives?

Is the needless spilling of American blood on foreign soil somehow necessary to ensure global American power?

Is opposing unnecessary war, opposing the things that we've done in the past twenty years "baby boomer idealism"?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have a lot of soul searching to do, because war was never a platform for actual Democrats.

Sure, I'll concede HRC's a feminist. HOWEVER.

Social issues are not the only puzzle piece in this race. Most of us, we're more than cognizant of all the wrong that Clinton did as SecState. I'm not even getting on the email thing right now, I mean the horrible foreign policy decisions that have undermined at least one nation, and severely screwed over a few others-- how can the servicemen and women of the United States be certain that a Hillary presidency will not send us into ANOTHER meaningless, "flexing our geopolitical genitalia" war like we dealt with(with her vote and the votes of many other so-called democrats for the Iraq AUMF) under the Bush presidency?

How are we supposed to vote for her if we can't trust that we won't be made to meaninglessly shed our blood over "business opportunities" and essentially dragging formerly functional countries kicking and screaming into a failed democracy?

Things learned today:

You can call Bernie Sanders a motherfucker for no reason all damn day, and not get hid.

Call Bill Clinton a motherfucker for talking down to BLM, twisting their words and essentially looking like he just got a job as a political correspondent at Fox News, and everyone loses their goddamn minds!

The hypocrisy is fucking glaring. But hey, what else am I supposed to expect? Guess the wind blew a tad too hard at an inopportune moment.

So has anyone gotten money from Revolution Messaging?

According to Camp Weathervane, we're all paid provocateurs and I'm here like "If that's the case then where's my paycheck"... It's like they can't believe someone could oppose her based on what she's done.
