Dennis Kucinich sides with Trump

“Trump has put America’s interests for peace and prosperity first.”

I was done with him when he joined FoxNews. Is he even still there?

The circular nature of the political spectrum In action. And I remember when if anyone dared question him here you were not a real progressive.

I'm well educated as well. But when people say "far left" I cannot figure out what is meant?

Anarchists? Isn't that the Proud Boys and Neo-Nazis? No clue.

I always thought of myself as pretty far left in that I'm more of a Democratic Socialist than I am a neo-Liberal, meaning I don't trust Capitalists to be kind and giving to the worst off among us without an organized push.

I saw his website and just assumed it was for 2026. There is no year so maybe he’s perpetually running, sounds right.

After numerous policy reversals and then the last straw--joining Fox "News" as a paid spokesman--I figured he was probably a lost cause. The only question I now have is why I allowed myself any doubt whatsoever. Kucinich and Gabbard--how did I ever get conned by these two in the first place?

Dennis will cheerlead and say it's patriotism.

These people all suck. Fuck them all.

Dennis never fooled me. I always thought he was a joke.

Several President Biden didn’t order any missile strikes. Ukraine shot those missiles. Our weapons are all over the world. This kind of talk does not help the cause of peace at all

Biden is trying to protect a Democratic country from falling into the hands of Russia/Putin you know, that country's leader Republicans used to demonize and be fearful of and now wouldn't mind palling around with.

on some clip where Bobby was speaking...I think. I wish I could remember where it was. I saw Dennis at a green expo years ago where he gave a talk. I wonder if he's still married to that red-headed woman who seemed many years his junior. I think I voted for him in a primary once. Maybe it was 2004...
