"it seems to me that Gabbard is called "anti-war" or "anti-establishment" from supporters and critics alike and neither is correct in this description." Seems to me that Gabbard is fairly well-known to be a classic Red-Brown islamophobe. She is very much pro-drone war/"war on terror". She's 'anti-war" when anyone suggests action against some fascist regime she likes, such as that of Assad (who she admires for waging its own "war ion terror"), but that's never happened; she is not anti-war with regard to the actual US war in Syria, mostly against ISIS. She is also very pro-Zionist, strongly supports the US unconditional support for Israel, which, once again, is waging its own "war on terror." Likewise her close relationship with the Hindu-chauvinist Modi in India, Modi after all being the leader responsible for the huge slaughter of Muslims last decade in India. Not sure why these well-established facts about Gabbard are so easily ignored by people who see her as progressive or anti-war. Whatever Sanders' shortcomings, she is well to his right. Bannon actually thought she might make a good State Secretary at one point. On Sun, May 12, 2019 at 3:32 AM J.B.
