Ohio Independent Congressional candidate (CD7) Dennis Kucinich contributed a long piece to Scheerpost on Sept. 28, which is both a denunciation of Wall Street for its barbaric U.S. war policy, and also an election statement by a former Democratic Presidential candidate against the Biden-Harris Administration.
Kucinich begins by placing as an “epigram” the opening lines of W.B. Yeats’ The Second Coming, down to “the worst/ are full of passionate intensity.” But his intention in writing may be indicated most by this:
“When I heard Vice President Harris brag about former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsing her candidacy, that put the exclamation point on the fact that the leaders of the Democratic party are for war. I am not.
“Why else would Vice President Harris become the front person for such virulent bravado, invoking ‘lethality’ abroad?” [Evoking, perhaps, a recent Jose Vega intervention.]
“A paradox of this campaign is that the much-villainized former President Trump, (representing a party that has also taken us into unnecessary wars) is the one who speaks to the need to negotiate and to talk directly with potential foes in order to avoid war, or to end it.”
