Reply #152: I think he is using strong rhetoric to undermine a dangerous strategy

[D23MIURG23]

Namely, the Democratic strategy of "let ourselves be pushed around by a chimp with a 25% approval rating, and hope Americans still like republicans less at the end of the day". This cowardly inaction is really dangerous for our country, and has its own electoral risks as well.

I can't speak for Kucinich with any authority, but I'll tell you that I do want to see more Democrats elected. I just don't want to see their cowardice and complicity validated in the same stroke.

Perhaps Kucinich is hoping to prevent that from happening by characterizing the current behavior harshly.
