One of the most poignant moments in the 2016 Dem Primary was when Clinton was boasting about her support from Henry Kissinger - and Sanders had the political guts to call out Kissinger and factually point to his disastrous policies in LatAm (and elsewhere).

Pete is yet another apologetic mouthpiece for failed U.S. policy abroad - when what we need is somebody who has the understanding of exactly where we've created geopolitical chaos - and how to rehabilitate our standing in the world via productive/cooperative policy and diplomacy.
