What in fuck's name happened to Dennis Kucinich?

[Ken Burch]

46. Dennis has now gone off the rails, but this doesn't invalidate the good in his past.

It doesn't mean his successful fight to save the electric utility in Cleveland from privatization was meaningless.

It doesn't mean his passionate and justified opposition to the Iraq War was bogus.

It doesn't mean he shouldn't have run for president.

Nothing bad came of Dennis being mayor or a congressman, and nothing bad came of his standing for the nomination in 2004 and 2008.

We HAD to have a peace candidate and we had to have a candidate who challenged corporate power. He campaigned then in a purely positive way and cannot be held responsible in any way for Kerry's defeat in the fall.

He's changed and that is a horrible thing...I totally disagree with his views on Trump as, I think I can say, do 98% of those who backed him when he ran...he absolutely should be called him out for that...but it's just a cheap shot to use the views he takes now to piss on the courage he showed in the past and to try to retroactively invalidate everything that was good in the man.

And if anyone is using this to piss on people who backed him then, there's no excuse for that.

This is a tragedy...not an occasion for vengeance.
