Chelsea Manning officially hit the campaign trail in Maryland this weekend as part of his bid to unseat second-term Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin. And in an interview with the Associated Press, Manning revealed just how far out of the mainstream his campaign really is.
“The rise of authoritarianism is encroaching in every aspect of life, whether it’s government or corporate or technological,” he told reporters, from what the Daily Mail termed his “upscale apartment tower.” He added that he doesn’t consider himself a Democrat, but is running inside the Democratic party in order to “shake up Establishment Democrats” who are “caving in” to President Donald Trump.
