(32,640 posts)That makes him "not Democrat." He is an Independent that votes on progressive issues. As such, he does not have a platform to identify with or is obligated to follow. Democratic candidates do, which I think is one reason he refuses to be a Democrat.
Do you disagree? Or are you saying that Democrat = Progressive?
94.1% is better than at least one Democratic legislator, yes. So that poster was correct - and as you can see, I at first thought he was talking about Democratic voters.
From my post, "And "some dems" yes, that is a very vague number, so if he voted more times than ANY single Dem legislator with Dems, in his House or Senate career, then that makes the post correct. Now that I understand that the poster meant "Democratic legislators" it is different."
Is that clearer?
