    Isn’t this the guy that said he didn’t know his nazi tattoo he got while spreading imperialism and killing brown kids for money was a nazi tattoo and because he’s still in the first stage of the Fetterman Tactic™ everyone moved on and pretended he was totally reformed from being a nazi-tattoo wearing storm trooper that definitely killed brown children for money?

        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.

                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.

              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.)

      I get where you are coming from. But the idea doesn’t jive with his leaked Reddit account and the posts he made. Dude is a Bernie bro in the best possible way.

          He defends imperialism in what way? I’m not sure we’re talking about the same person at this point

            He supports the current military budget and joined to kill people serving four tours and then serving as a mercenary for the excitement of killing people. He argues for massive shipbuilding buildup to “combat china”, he supports extended benefits for military members to increase recruitment and on and on. He is not quiet about this his main problem with the current military isn’t its action but what he views as waster and bad spending.

              He advocates for redirecting funds from military operations to domestic needs, citing the billions spent on endless wars while domestic healthcare and housing systems struggle.

              The ship building stuff seems to be more around instead of having China build them, build them in America.

              He seems pretty darn anti-war and anti-interventionist from what I’ve heard from him in interviews.

                  I mean you’re ignoring the things that come out of his mouth and his comment history.

                  I get the paranoia. I think you might be taking it too far though.

        No? He’s an imperialist but some of his “domestic” policies aren’t in alignment with the republicans? Thats not hard to look at

        I’m not sure I understand what point you could possibly be making about the nazi you are implicitly supporting with this comment?

            That’s the opposite of how they treated fetterman so why would they do that in this case? Fetterman was constantly lambasted by right-wing media when he was still stage one fetterman. If there were some precedent for your idea that right-wing media is competent enough to have a conspiracy like that I might agree with you; but lets be honest they’re not.

      Couldn’t care less if he’s not learned on symbology.

      I care that he thinks people should actually be able to earn a living wage in this country; something apparently no other Democrat is willing to commit to, sans Bernie.
