He's running for president as a Democrat. How do we feel about him?

I think what he's doing is brilliant.

He was a pretty good Senator back in day. Times changed.

The last two paragraphs from the About Mike page.

[quote]In 1981, Sen. Gravel left Washington. In the decades afterward, he worked as an anti-war and pro-direct democracy activist as well as the CEO of several cannabis companies. In 2008, he ran for president, calling for an immediate military withdrawal from foreign countries, recognition of gay marriage, and a Green New Deal. Today, he resides in California with his wife of 35 years, Whitney. He is a proud father and grandfather.

[quote]Sen. Gravel is running for president to bring a message of anti-imperialism and direct democracy to the Democratic debates. He is not seeking to contest any primaries, but rather to qualify for the debates, push the field toward sane views on American imperialism and the need for fundamental political reform, and then endorse the most progressive candidate. All campaign staffers are volunteers, and money is only being spent on campaign expenditures (such as airplane tickets and web hosting). All leftover funds will be donated to get clean water for Flint, Michigan

I wish him luck but I think he will get much attention.

There need to be some anti-war candidates who are willing to force an open discussion about what is happening with Iran.

He’s the Harold Stassen of the Democratic Party

He had his shot in 2008. The fact that 2 high school students drafted him is just...weird.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
