Use of military force abroad

“True leadership means working for peace, not preparing for endless war. The United States has spent over $8 trillion on war since 2001, often with little accountability and devastating consequences. We've also failed to recognize and prevent the devastation of genocidal wars claiming the lives of millions from Palestine and Sudan to the Congo and Tigray. It's time to reimagine our global role: not as a militarized empire, but as a champion of diplomacy, human rights, and peacebuilding. We need to end the blank checks for endless war and reallocate that funding towards diplomacy abroad and housing, education, and healthcare here at home.”

“END ALL WARS”

“Ending the illegal wars that are driving up costs: We cannot ignore that Americans back home are paying for Trump’s wars and interventions. With no end in sight, gas prices will only continue to rise, as will other goods as the supply chain continues to break down. Congress must reassert their war powers and bring stability back to our economy.”

“It also means we need to call out our own country’s actions. I oppose illegal and unnecessary wars. What’s happened in Iran and with the boats coming from Venezuela – and what this administration is hinting at with possible military action in Greenland and Cuba – is a dangerous abuse of power and violates international law. Bare minimum, we need congressional oversight and our international allies to agree before we go to war.”

“Taking care of the men and women who serve our country in war isn’t an option, it’s our duty. We need to make sure the people who served this country get the care they need, not start new wars that we don’t need.”

“Patty supports foreign policy based on diplomacy rather than warfare, international cooperation rather than domination, and respect for human rights, not corporate or military profits.”

“Renewed emphasis on diplomacy and peace-making”

“Angela is running to end the blank checks for war, bombs, and weapons, and to demand that money be reinvested in our communities where it belongs. War is not a foreign policy. As one of the most powerful nations in the world, we should lead with diplomacy at the center of our foreign policy.”

“I'll put diplomacy first, demand human rights, and end blank-check wars.”

“At a time when Donald Trump is putting our troops in harm’s way and trampling our Constitution, we need leaders who will prioritize diplomacy, passion, and empathy.”

“Prioritize diplomacy, de-escalation, and long-term stability, with military action only as a last resort with clear objectives and accountability.”

“No more expensive and unnecessary wars”

“Seek diplomatic solutions to global challenges, not more war”

“The United States must work for peace around the globe, rather than pursuing escalation. Most urgently, we must stop arming Israel, which is pursuing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with U.S. weapons and tax dollars.”

“Instead of helping Americans at home, Washington poured billions of dollars into forever wars and foreign aid. Meanwhile, thousands of people are homeless and suffering in Wisconsin alone. Michael Alfonso will put America First, fix problems here, and stop wasteful foreign spending.”

“No more blank checks for foreign wars. Put America first.”

“This is why Darializa will fight to invest our tax dollars in programs that support children and their families, instead of spend billions to bomb foreign countries.”

“I'll put diplomacy first, demand human rights, and end blank-check wars.”

“Recortar significativamente el presupuesto del Pentágono de un billón de dólares El Pentágono falla continuamente en las auditorías mientras la industria de defensa se enriquece cada vez más y nuestros impuestos se usan para alimentar conflictos en el extranjero. Es hora de recortar drásticamente el inflado presupuesto del Pentágono y repriorizar en qué gasta el Congreso nuestro dinero. Es hora de enfocarnos en la salud, no en las bombas.”

It's time to reimagine our global role: not as a militarized empire, but as a champion of diplomacy, human rights, and peacebuilding. We need to end the blank checks for endless war and reallocate that funding towards diplomacy abroad and housing, education, and healthcare here at home.”

“How will we afford this? First, by taxing billionaires and corporations at least as much as we tax ourselves. And second, by stopping spending billions on senseless wars. If we can afford to pay $1 billion a day on a war on the other side of the world, we can afford to provide the services people need here at home to live safe, healthy, and dignified lives.”

“The central theme of my platform is real security. Security is the condition of being able to count on the future. This means investing in the basics we all depend on throughout our lives — housing, healthcare, family care, and good jobs — rather than wasting money on pointless wars that only bring more enemies and uncertainty.”

“I will fight to reassert Congressional authority established in Article I, Section 8, and stop Donald Trump’s illegal war.”

“Ending the illegal wars that are driving up costs: We cannot ignore that Americans back home are paying for Trump’s wars and interventions. With no end in sight, gas prices will only continue to rise, as will other goods as the supply chain continues to break down. Congress must reassert their war powers and bring stability back to our economy.”

“Demand Congressional oversight of military measures, stopping Trump’s unchecked actions without a strategic plan and clear exit strategy.”

“End the war on drugs and extrajudicial killings: Claire will fight to pass a War Powers Resolution to end the illegal, ongoing extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and oppose any future unilateral military interventions in Latin America under the guise of the war on drugs.”

“The United States must defend our country, stand with our allies, uphold democracy and human rights, and pursue diplomacy wherever possible. Military force should never be used without lawful authority, clear objectives, and an honest plan for what comes next. Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility for decisions of war and peace, because service members and their families should never pay the price for political recklessness.”

“End destructive wars and targeted military operations that fuel political instability and displacement across the globe.”

“Support mediation through the United Nations: Aggression and war are not sustainable or moral forms of negotiation. We should commit to ending military interventions and resolving conflicts through diplomacy and international bodies like the United Nations.”

“Every President in modern history has avoided Congressional oversight while conducting bombing campaigns and military expeditions abroad. Congress is supposed to act as a check and balance on Presidential war-making authority, but has failed to live up to its responsibility year after year. We must immediately reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad and invest in addressing the root causes of systemic violence across the world.”

“Reducing U.S. military bases abroad: While domestic climate programs are essential for reducing U.S. emissions, we cannot overlook the role the U.S. military plays as one of the world's largest drivers of climate change. With nearly 800 bases internationally, their emissions footprint exceeds that of many countries. Reducing foreign bases offers many benefits: it can lower emissions, reverse environmental damage caused by decades of occupation, and help de-escalate tensions abroad by signaling a shift from a foreign policy of domination to diplomatic engagement. The money saved can be reinvested in international climate solutions or in critical domestic needs such as healthcare, schools, or public transit.”
