No president in my lifetime, R or D, has been my commander in chief.
Presidents are only commanders in chief of the "armed forces of the United States," and I've never served in the military.
We went down this road two presidents ago with Shrub, then a lesser degree with Dear Leader. Trump, surprisingly, hasn't invoked the "commander in chief" schtick much. Maybe because his fear of blood (which is likely linked to germophobia) means that he doesn't do the serious military talk that much. Or it cold be that businesses don't have a "commander in chief."
Anyway, presidents have not been, and are not, "commanders in chief of the United States."
So, Tulsi, this language on your fake national health care, about how you as "president and commander in chief" will allegedly do X Y and Z to get better health care, is disconcerting coming from the alleged "peace candidate."
Which you're not, anyway.
So, the militarization issue is? Disgusting.
SMH.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
