Gabbard is a combat veteran of the Iraq war. Her resignation should be viewed as a condemnation of Hillary for president as much as an endorsement of Sanders.

The DNC would like us to believe that all Democratic voters will happily coalesce around Clinton in November no matter what. The underreported story is the growing divide within the party of socialism that this campaign is illuminating.
