US Democratic presidential candidates have illustrated the “narrow confines” of Washington's foreign and domestic policies during their first presidential debate, says an American analyst.
“I think the whole debate tonight (October 13) showed in what narrow confines US political life exists,” said Sara Flounders, a member of the International Action Center.
“All of the candidates, they speak a different line but they support US foreign policy, and they support US wars, they support Zionism and Israel, each one of them,” Flounders told Press TV on Wednesday.
“None of them are saying anything that is a fundamental break with US wars and US determination to have its corporate domination around the world, that is the problem,” she said.
The first 2016 Democratic Party presidential debates took place on Tuesday at the Wynn skyscraper in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Democratic candidates in the debate were former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former Maryland Governor Martin Joseph O'Malley, former US Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, and former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee.
Flounders also said all the candidates have the same policy toward American whistleblower Edward Snowden and consider him a criminal.
During the debate, Clinton and the other candidates accused Snowden of breaking the law, something he should be prosecuted for. "Bring him home," Chafee said.
Sanders, however, acknowledged that Snowden "played a very important role in educating the American people to the degree in which our civil liberties and constitutional freedoms are being undermined."
The party members will get together again in Des Moines, Iowa, on November 14 for their next debate which will be aired on CBS.
