Not even. He officially left the Dems and registered as independent earlier this year.

Notice also how their go-to response is to talk about their right to vote for third-party candidates, which is a strawman of the criticism they typically receive.

Glad you live and work in a place where biking is a viable option, but it’s the complete opposite for me. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work on a route that would take three hours by bike just because of the sheer distance, and there simply are no bus routes out to where I live.
