In Gabbard, voters have one of the few acknowledged foreign policy experts in Congress. One who is correctly calling out the „neocon war hawks“ continually supporting increased U.S. military intervention abroad, while also stressing that it makes no sense not to talk to the leaders of Russia and Syria if we are serious about defeating „the shared threat like al Qaeda and ISIS.“

More than that, she has also rightfully slapped the ever-increasing threat of nuclear war right back on the policy-discussion table where it belongs.
