Bernie Sanders is the only anti-war candidate other than Tulsi Gabbard, who is polling at 1%. I think Andrew Yang is probably also anti-war, but he’s polling at 1% as well.
Bernie, on the other hand, is in the race.
It’s just a question of whether he can beat the media and the Democrat machine. He probably can’t. But if he could, he’d be a better president than Trump.
Aside from his anti-war stance, his other positions are not nearly as regressive as those of the other Democrats, or Trump.
He’s been more anti-immigration than New Trump, and strongly believes that America should at least have a border – a policy that Trump’s handler Jared Kushner has flatly rejected.
Bernie wants free college, not free immigration.
Any border at all would be better than what we have now.
I don’t know if his communist agenda would actually collapse the economy or not, but I say if it does, all the better.
Free healthcare would presumably be unmanageable given our current system unless Bernie went full communist and nationalized all of the pharmaceutical companies.
But it doesn’t matter.
What matters is not fighting any more wars for Israel.
And Joe Biden is aggressively pro-war. Kamala Harris might even be worse.
Literal communism is much better than this neo-liberal nightmare world we have now.

Obama beat McCain, and the D's took Congress, on a promise to end the war in Iraq.

The pro-war dictators in the USA are going to kill us all when they get us into a war with China and Russia. It's a good thing that I am old, because at my age, I will not live much longer anyway so it won't matter much if I die a little sooner when the nuclear bombs start falling. In any event, life will continue. Humans don't have the ability to destroy all life on earth. However, we may be able to kill all or most humans, and most other mammals and birds. Regardless, in 10 million years, earth will be full of life, but, except for tiny one cell animals and plants, I don't know what kind of life and likely it will not be intelligent as humans define intelligent life.

Trump is, on a personal level, not pro-war. Nor is he a politician as the office of president is the first public office he's ever held.
Not that he's not responsible for the pro-war actions of his administration. He is. His mistake is that he's hired these same deep state actors that date back to the hideous decision to invade Iraq like John Bolton to advise him about Iran. He's also proud of the military and likes to see them flex their might.
But once in office, presidents get innundated with supposed intelligence by the pentagon & CIA with arguments that go something like "if you do withdraw our forces from this area, all these things are going to happen and you don't want that". No doubt it takes someone with resolve to see the big picture beyond what the brass is arguing and reply back with "you may be right, but I don't care".
I'm certainly disappointed in him, but to characterize Trump as having lied to get elected is disingenuous.

A study of history and Geo/Politics would provide zero foundation for that assertion at the present time, nor near future.

When did he do that?
Trump's history as a highly successful developer was possible because he didn't try to do everything himself. He hired people to do the things he didn't know how to do himself. His skill was in knowing how to find the right people to do all manner of jobs. Doubtless he measured businesses and persons he hired by their experience. Now you can say you don't like Trump's hair, his machoism, his arrogance or whatever and that's fine. But you can't say that the guy became a billionaire in spite of having an IQ of 80.
Now that he became president, he's applied that same outsourcing/hiring thing that he's always done, and for whatever reason, he's blown it. On his hiring choices as president, I'll agree with you. Why he would hire Bolton whom is about the only person who CAN'T see that invading Iraq was a disaster is indeed beyond me.
But it's not like Trump has been unsuccessful in the private sector, as that's certainly not true.

Seth Rich was the whistle blower who intended to show how Bernie Sanders was robbed of winning the Primary. He had inside information and even his parents freely admitted he was the leaker.
He was shot in the back several times in gun free Washington, D.C. ;)
