Kuchinich was much more principled and thus driven from office permanently. If you want to see some decency in a progressive politician, look at him

Correct Emmanual. I remember Kuccinich when he was mayor of Cleveland. A very principled man. And yes of course, the banking, corporate, financial, capitalist powers would keep him out of government or if they couldn't find some way to destroy him politically. And failing that, they would have offed him in some manner.

What is a 'hero?' If a person speaks truth they are normal people.

USA watched too many movies. Same with the word 'patriot!'

Jenny that would be correct in an absolute term living in a normal world. But in a corrupt fascist USA (and larger west) anyone who speaks truth is a "hero". A little hero, but compared to others a hero nonetheless. If Kucinich who was mostly alone (and there were other isolated voices) was an existential danger to zionist control of USA he would have been physically terminated.

I understand what you are saying Nick. I would rather call them honest.

Give us something my friend, in the u.s. people who do less evil are heroes : ) We have nothing but Kshama Sawant. I gave a 100$ to Mandani for Mayor of NYC then two weeks later he is meeting with Billionaires and israelis. : ( Kshama has never let me down.

Landru. This is what I truly believe/take it or leave it I don't care because the US is dead.

IF the American people do not 'rise up' and start a revolution you will still be voting for Dems. or Repubs. until you die.

OH. Another "hero!" Fuck this we are not living in your movies USA.

A 'hero' to you is someone who speaks truth.

How many heroes are there in the USA? Many of us here on Caitlins substack.

WE are not 'heroes' or 'patriots!'

Dennis too has his faults however we can count on Dennis to be kind, loving and caring. Will Dennis run for President again? I see no one else. Dennis needs campaigning stump speech training from Bernie : )

IF anyone with a short brain span (USA) Dennis Kuchinich was supporting this miserable human being called RFK.

He got out which means a lot.

It was a big mistake for him to get mixed up in that. But I can understand that since he is blocked from running himself he hoped to push Kennedy in the right direction. But spoiled narcissists can only go so far
