General Discussion

I said a Democratic Party candidate that supports endless war and bottomless military budgets is not getting my vote.
Outside of president, I can only control my vote for the people in my district and my senators, state and federal.
But if one them is determined to vote to approve a supplemental budget for DOD when we just gave them over a trillion dollars then that candidate doesn't get my vote.
If they later decide to vote to approve the next proposed military budget, which I hear will likely be over $1.5 trillion dollars, then no, that candidate doesn't get my vote.
I'm not that old and there has not been a single decade of my life that didn't have some sort of significant military action or war by the US.
The military budgets have just grown out of control as Congress increasingly use defense spending as a way to direct jobs to their respective districts or states.
It has to to end. No one is going to gaslight me anymore by telling me we cannot afford to fund a Medicare for All plan or the NIH or the VA while we literally spend over a trillion dollars on the military.
