You will not find a single post doing so because I would love to have Medicare-for-all. However, it was abundantly clear that Medicare-for-all wasn't politically possible, and I was unwilling to condemn Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and others who advocated for a compromise. We never had the votes to overcome a filibuster in the Senate. Since it was clear Medicare-for-all was doomed, I hoped the public option would be possible, but that didn't work out either. So I supported Obama, Pelosi, and the other Dems in the only choice that remained.
But I would have been happy if Medicare-for-all had ever been a possibility. You must be confusing me with someone else.
As for Kucinich, I am Catholic, too. But like most Catholics I know (Catholics in the pews, not the hierarchy), I have been pro-choice for my entire adulthood. Unlike Dennis Kucinich, who was an outspoken pro-life person for much of his career.
