Bombing runs against them is why we currently are building bases throughout northern Africa and are engaged in military campaigns in 7 countries in the Middle East and Africa. It's the main thrust of our military expansion right now, controlling groups like that by just flying and bombing anywhere we want. Unless we have someone who actually approaches that area with a new mindset, which Gabbard doesn't, it's going to be 95% the exact same military policy.

As to the whole "nominate a white guy" point, this appears to be what the Dem base has convinced itself, but it's going to get Dems a nail biter loss. The path to victory and winning the midwest again is literally one of two things:
A) turn out more black voters in Detroit, Flint, Philadelphia, Cleveland (although Ohio is unwinnable probably)
B) Turn out white women in suburbs in places like Lansing, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee
Biden does neither of those things. He doesn't excite the two groups we most need as a path to victory. And one year of negative campaigns about his gaffs, racism, creepiness, is going to turn away a lot of young black voters, soccer moms, and college students, the very people we need to turn out to win. Black primary voters, middle class white primary voters, etc., etc., are already in the bag and will vote no matter what. Biden is going to have exactly the same deflationary effect on the inconsistent voters that Hillary had.
We all laughed our ass off when Michael Avenetti said Dems need to nominate an old white guy and called him a dummy, and yet the Dems have actually backed themselves into thinking he was totally right. Just an incredible self own by Dem voters.
