(12,155 posts)That supporting endless wars and bottomless military budgets is wanting to kill me.
Because if we are funding trillion+ dollar military budgets then we are not funding the NIH or CDC Dept of Education or Dept of State or NOAA or FEMA or USAID or any of the dozens of organizations that directly contribute to the health and safety of all Americans in ways no amount of military spending ever will or can do.
If a Democratic Party candidate cannot bring themselves to not support endless wars and bottomless military budgets then how exactly do we achieve any of the things we say we want to achieve when our military budgets become $1.5 trillion dollars? Then $2 trillion dollars?
No longer letting people gaslight me into believing that we cannot afford Medicare for All but we can afford a trillion dollar military budget.
