Dennis Kucinich has a bunch of crazy ideas, but he does seem to have integrity. Bernie Sanders is similar. I’d never vote for either one. Kucinich put out this statement with a few interesting observations, and a whole lot of superfluous jabbering.
When I heard Vice President Harris brag about former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsing her candidacy, that put the exclamation point on the fact that the leaders of the Democratic party are for war. I am not.
A paradox of this campaign is that the much-villainized former President Trump, (representing a party that has also taken us into unnecessary wars) is the one who speaks to the need to negotiate and to talk directly with potential foes in order to avoid war, or to end it.
What seems like a paradox to Kucinich is really his misunderstanding. President Trump got the leaders of North and South Korea to shake hands at the DMZ. That is incredible. Trump also got the Abraham Accords signed by Israel and Saudi Arabia. Putin invaded Ukraine under Obama and Biden.
When Trump took office, he was opposed by all of the Democrats and half of the Republicans. He was opposed by the war industry puppets to whom Kucinich refers.
Kucinich did not take the courageous step to endorse Trump. That would have been something.
