Is the Democratic Party becoming increasingly hawkish?

[Beet]

The Democrats have always been fairly hawkish.

indeed....who else are doves going to vote for?  the Greens?  When most Americans have been sold into the "lesser of two evils" stupidity?

So a party who nominates someone who dines with and openly supports that great man of peace: Vladimir Putin? And which thinks wi-fi causes brain damage and panders to vaccine scaremongerers and 9/11 "truthers"? That's a serious party that people should flock to?

To be fair my dad thinks wi-fi causes brain damage, he is always saying, "Beet, put your wi-fi in the corner of the room / don't sit near it." He is not dumb or very right-wing either. There is a lot of corporate money tied up in denying any connection, and there are a lot of medical experts who are willing to be paid by such corporations. And my dad is not all that far out there. This is not like the vaccine-Downs' syndrome study which was discredited. One problem I've noticed with elitist liberals, is that sometimes they hear something that sounds strange or outside their cultural purview, and start sneering at it without really investigating or taking seriously the argument that's being made. I think this sort of attitude comes off very bad to the average person.
