__GLAMOUR:__You mentioned that you needed to resign your chair as vice chairwoman of the DNC—where you had to remain neutral—in order to endorse Senator Sanders. How did you ultimately come to that decision?

__CTG:__I grew increasingly frustrated watching these Democrat and Republican debates over the last several months, and seeing a lack of real accountability for the [foreign policy] positions that they are proposing—and for their records. After I saw the first few states—Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina—voting, I felt a sense of duty and responsibility to step away from that neutral position and speak out directly about issues of war and peace—and these unnecessary, counterproductive interventionist wars.

__GLAMOUR:__What response have you received from voters to your endorsement?

__CTG:__I've been flooded with emails, tweets, Facebook posts, YouTube comments of support; people writing these messages have crossed generations, gender lines, ethnic and racial lines, political and ideological lines. The cost of war impacts all of us—both in the human cost and the cost that's being felt frankly in places like Flint, Michigan, where families and children are devastated and destroyed by completely failed infrastructure because of lack of investment. People are recognizing that we've got to dedicate these resources to nation-building here at home rather than nation-building overseas.

__GLAMOUR:__There has been a generational divide among women who are supporting Secretary Clinton vs. Senator Sanders. Why do you think Senator Sanders' message is resonating with young women?

__CTG:__I did my first rally with Senator Sanders in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While he was talking, I wasn't watching him. I was looking into the faces of the crowd, and I saw hope. Students are suffering under incredibly high tuitions and high student loan interest rates. They graduate from school, and they're having a very difficult time finding a job. They don't feel as though there are honest leaders who are listening to them, and who will be a part of the solution. At the rally, someone told me: "As I listen to him, it's like he's looking directly into my heart and saying what I'm thinking." That's where I've seen so much of this energy from young women and young men coming for Senator Sanders.

__GLAMOUR:__Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem have criticized young women who support Sanders over Clinton in comments they have both since clarified or retracted. Did you receive any pressure to endorse the female candidate or criticism of your decision not to endorse the female candidate because you're a woman?

__CTG:__I wouldn't say that I've been pressured in any way, but I have gotten criticism from those who disagree with my decision to support Senator Sanders for a variety of reasons, and that reason is used in their criticism. There's so much at stake for our country in this Democratic primary—and as a woman, I think it would be pretty demeaning for me if someone should presume that anyone should be in a position of commander in chief simply because they're a woman. That is just as bad as those who say that men should only vote for a commander in chief who's a man because he's a man. What I've heard from young women who were deeply incensed by those comments is that they felt that those comments presumed they couldn't think for themselves, that they don't care about these deeply important issues, and that they're not making decisions for themselves.

__GLAMOUR:__Secretary Clinton has pitched herself as the pragmatic progressive, and has said Sanders should not make promises he can't keep. Do you think that he's making promises he can't keep?

__CTG:__I don't, and I would turn the question back on Secretary Clinton. Secretary Clinton promises to escalate the war in Syria waged to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad if elected by putting in this no-fly zone, which would put us in direct conflict with Russia. Senator Sanders is opposed to that regime change and no-fly zone. If we continue spending trillions rebuilding other countries, we will not have the resources to invest here in our economy, schools, infrastructure, and communities.
