Leftist Elected Officials Should Always Vote No on the Military Budget

It should be a matter of course that self-identified leftist and progressive members of Congress should vote down the annual bloated, dangerous, war-profiteer bonanza that is the military budget.

Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders cast a vote that should be expected of all left-leaning politicians in Congress: he voted against giving $886 billion to the Pentagon.

@GW The Pentagon budget is something some congresscritters will vote against, if and only if it will pass without their support. And then you have to take turns engaging in the political protest theater. Saunders had his turn this year. Last year he supported it.
