13. WTF? This looks real and relevant to me

I was fairly certain the drone program would be halted once Democrats regained the White House from W. Man was I wrong about that. Obama and Clinton love them some drone warfare.

I can't stand that we do this. The best way to fight terrorism is to get our troops out of their countries, and run a solid police effort here at home to root out any domestic cells. Instead we blow up people from the sky, no warning, no trial, no charges, and we don't just hit our targets, we hit everyone around them. We also don't always know who we are targeting, it's criminal.

I'm pretty sure Bernie would have dialed this program back, though even he was unwilling to say he would end it.

Personally I think we need to keep working on our party to be more of a party of the people rather than a party of the military industrial complex.
