The author mentions Tulsi Gabbard who has been calling Democrats warmongers for years, and it would be nice if Bernie made a public break with her. I know she was quietly removed as Fellow on the Sanders Institute website, but his supporters should know that she's not progressive and it's ridiculous to call Democrats warmongers and they shouldn't listen to her, they should listen to Bernie.
