Reply #53: I haven't trashed him, but I do defend the other progressive dems who voted for the HC bill

[Politicub]

There are other great dems in the senate rather than just Kucinich, and so may of the threads about him bash other dems.

So I post and point out how absurd it is to hold him to some paragon of virtue, when he has cast his lot with the blue dogs and GOP. He couched his vote of nay for a different reason than them, of course. But at the end of the day every rep had a binary choice of yes or no. He voted no.

But it doesn't mean that other thoughtful, progressive dems read this bill, knew what they were voting for, and understand that while it isn't perfect, it will transform the fairness of HC. And, it will put us in a better position for improving HC down the road.
