He voted against the Iraq war. He supports diplomacy with Iran, and opposed Republican efforts to blow up diplomacy.
He's not my ideal candidate, there's plenty of room for improvement. That's why, for example, we did a petition - noted in the piece - urging Sanders to talk about cutting the bloated Pentagon budget, which contrary to the NYT's bogus reporting - hence our complaint - he is not doing so far. He is only, so far, opposing an increase in Pentagon spending at the expense of domestic spending, like other Democrats. But to say that he is a "jerk" just because he doesn't meet your ultra-left "standards" is just infantile.
