In reply to the discussion: How would you vote in a HRC vs. Warren primary race? [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)70. There's pretty much no use for war other than territorial defense now, though.
There will never be another U.S.military intervention in other countries that can possibly have humane or progressive results-especially in the Middle East.
And wars of "our national interests" are just wars of corporate interests.
Dennis is on the side of the human race. "Liberal hawks" are just conservatives who like to pretend they used to care about the poor .
And a president who's as ok with war as your candidate is will be incapable of doing anything positive domestically...because you can't do progressive things AND maintain a big war machine...the resources aren't there.
No one who wants peace deserves hatred.

Not to the point that the whole purpose of government is to send money to warmongers.

Only REAL polls are meaningless at this point. DU polls carry actual electoral implications
