I would have voted to support the NATO bombing campaign to prevent ethnic cleansing by Serbian forces as well. I think Sanders record on war and peace overall is pretty damn stellar and don't give him any shit for diverting military spending to his own state. That's just kind of his job. He favored local union leaders & workers at a local GE Plant over activists preventing them from doing their jobs. So again a little more nuance. You can disagree with him on these things if you want tho, but for me it sounds like making the perfect the enemy of the good and a kind of politics where we never make anything good happen for anybody ever will be the result. If Sanders isn't good enough then there is no one in politics you can work with to build an effective legislative coalition. I don't think that's accurate and would argue we can accomplish quite a lot working with people we don't agree with 100% of the way. MLK was completely anti-war but he still worked with LBJ to accomplish great things.
