    So the answer to ‘hey this guy is a nazi who likes killing children’ is ‘HURRRRRRRR BUT ARE YOU GOING TO RUN INSTEAD, NO? WELL WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A NAZI THEN HURRRRRRRR’

    Fascinating how the far-right mind works.

        its not ridiculous to oppose imperialism and nazism even if there is no electoral opponent with winnign chances currently thats silly talk. Stop defending imperialism so you can get more of a cut of the benefits you ghoul.

        Enjoy being bewildered by him voting along side trump 90% of the time by his 6 month mark while upvoting posts with the tagline ‘how could we have possibly seen this coming… again… for the 20th time in the last two election cycles.’

            Hey maybe I’m wrong and this won’t be yet another ‘“progressive” cishet white guy with a clear history of far-right behavior and beliefs that turns out to just be far right and not reformed.’ I’d be happy if that were the case. Hasn’t been so far but hey I’m rooting for you guys. Maybe you guys can reform.

                  I saw the tattoo. I never would have thought it was Nazi. Sleazy biker trash, absolutely. I had to read up on it to know it was Nazi. And I was raised on The Discovery and History channels. So I’m not without some knowledge on the topic. It was an absolutely stupid decision but from what I’ve seen, tattoos before your mid thirties almost always are.

                Not every cishet white guy, but it’s always a cishet white guy. Sometimes you get a mixed white guy, but still white.

          His entire campaign has shown that being a progressive actually works against him, not for him. He’s just fortunate to have landed at a point in time when Democrats and Republicans are lockstep in letting billionaires loot the country and the working class to a previously unimaginable degree.

          But cool.

          Sure.

          Give us the old bitch in the governor’s office who is 100% a-okay with your family being unable to feed itself and opposed a data center ban. They can prop her up like McConnell until she’s literally unable to speak, if by some miracle she beats Collins at all. (Unlikely when she’s on the wrong side of every issue with what voters want at the moment.)
