Under Obama, Tulsi Gabbard voted against Barbara Lee's amendment to repeal the 2001 AUMF, which gave wide powers of war to the executive branch with limited Congressional oversight. Those powers help fuel Trump's violent drone program today. https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1304546722001989632
As Obama was drone striking children around the world, Tulsi voted to reaffirm his unchecked powers of war. Now Trump's doing the same and they're begging us to vote for Obama's Vice President who spent 8 years nodding his head at savagery.
In 2017, Tulsi voted to sanction the Iranian people as we were pulling out of the JCPOA. Civilians continue to suffer as a result of Trump's stupidity and not a single Democrat stood in opposition. They're all imperialists; they're just fighting over how best to manage Empire.
What's dismaying about Tulsi's thread is that she's still under the impression that we invaded Afghanistan to combat terrorism. That's why she signed up; it's not why we invaded.
