The local Fox affiliate has a "Post-Local News..." politics show called Flannery Fired Up.
Adam Kinzinger just mentioned that he would be for raising the age for all gun sales to twenty-one and putting a limit on what the "Maximum" magazine size could be.
If at this point, knowing everything we know now, you still think that a Clinton presidency would be anywhere near as bad as what we've seen from Trump, then you should probably just stop lying to yourself and embrace the far right like you've always wanted all along.
And seriously, nobody supports Warren because of her charisma or her political acumen, indeed most people were pretty much ready to write off her candidacy after all that Pocahontas crap went down. However as the campaign has gone on, she's managed to show that she's smart, sensible, and serious while the rest of party is increasing devolving into a clown show, and regardless of whether she can win or not, it's important to have her voice to show that at least someone still cares about the country.
What would be the point of that? If you're not pandering to anyone with the VP pick, then you probably want someone with substance, but Beto fits neither of these and frankly neither does Biden.

Why does every Gabbard defender do this? I don't want to invade Syria. You know what else? I don't want to pretend Assad didn't gas his own people and cause a massaive displacement of Syrian refugees with brutality, nor that India isn't sliding into authoritarian fascism and brutality towards its Muslim minority.
Tulsi is fine with these things not because she's non-interventionist but because she a Hindu nationalist who doesn't mind these things when they're done to Muslims.
I'm not a Tulsi fan I'm against Middle Eastern entanglements. I'd never vote for anyone who supports intervening in the Middle East that is a dealbreaker for me. The UN should handle such matters as nation-building, not any one country.
Edit - It was intervening in Afghanistan to fight the USSR by proxy which caused most of the problems there (the region) today.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Questions over the whens and hows and whys of any form interventionism is fine. If you're a complete non-interventionist, be prepared to watch mass murder unfold and be content with washing your hands of it from your supposed moral high ground. But it's instructive to me that every time I discuss Tulsi's apologism for Assad, I get told 'wel you must want to invade Syria', as if those are our only options.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
