Mad Mike Gravel says he’s no longer a Democrat and is now running for president as a Libertarian.
Sound Bite: “It’s not so much that I left the Democratic party, it’s the Democratic party left me. And what I believe in is more what the Libertarian party stands for.”
Mike Gravel is many things but he is not a Libertarian. He is advocating for state intervention in many areas such as education, environment and health care - which indicates that he is not sharing the concept of individual liberty that is crucial for Libertarians.
