For the record, I support @Tim_Canova in his congressional run against the worst person on Earth. But I have to say that it bums me out that he’s being lauded for running as an independent when he clearly isn’t one. He’s a Democrat running as an independent as a *strategy*.

I’ve been an independent for almost 16 years. And if you’re going to talk to Republicans, Democrats, *and* Independents and 3rd-party voters, to build a political consensus, I believe it’s important to be an *actual* independent who doesn’t side with either party *at all*.

Bernie has *always* been an Independent (outside of presidential runs) and that’s where he gets his cred. And frankly I wish he’d run as an independent in 2020, because I believe he’d win and represent a tectonic shift in political discourse. But I digress.

Becoming an independent as a *strategy* doesn’t make you *actually* independent of party influence, dogma, or tactics. We need *true* independents. People who saw through this partisan BS well *before* they considered running for office.
