I will be honest I'm out of the loop on this guy. Is he running left of Bernie and Jill Stine? Because that sure seems like a poor plan. The Democrats are not like the Republican primaries where they have to out extreme right until the general election.

He's an anti-vaxxer that echos a lot of Russian propaganda. He even tweeted an image of a woman wearing his campaign merchandise - and then people noticed that the sign on the cafe in the background was in Russian.

If anything, he seems like a right-winger trying to pretend that he's a liberal and hoping that people vote for him based on his famous family name.
