The other three core priorities are ...
Affordable housing, affordable healthcare and no more foreign wars. That doesn't seem so bad.
And if I have to play the "lesser of two evils game", having a lefty type (who openly calls the USA's military an imperial force for evil in the world) giving the not-so-chudy veterans someone other than the openly fascist Republican party candidate or the not-so-openly fascist Democratic party candidate to vote for... probably not the worst thing in the world.
This comment right here is the magnum opus of western leftism, nothing describes it better than "yes he was an American soldier in Afghanistan, who tells everyone about it first thing first, who proudly displays his badges, who was this close to joining the CIA, who is still in contact with active soldiers, but he wants affordable housing and healthcare".
You're too kind.
