Why I’m Voting for Dennis Kucinich
posted in High Noise - Low Signal |
Dave Winer expressed it for me this morning:
We have it all backwards in the political system in the US. Before we even consider a candidate, we should talk issues among ourselves. Make decisions and then, kind of like the Priceline model for buying stuff, go shopping for candidates whose values match ours.
I like to think I don’t have it backwards. I shopped Kucinich. I helped convince him to run. He’s where I want a candidate to be on all the important issues from handgun control to the death penalty. Not only that, but he’s as bright as can be, and genuinely humble. If he doesn’t win the nomination he will support the party and help assure that someone besides Bush is elected. He doesn’t have any of the destructive chutzpah of a couple of well known third party candidates who have steered their side away from victory during the last three election cycles.
