I mean..... That's an oddly specific fear? Besides that, am I wrong in any particular way? Is there anything that gives you confidence he is sincere in his beliefs?
I would love to be wrong about the guy, but we really don't have anything to work with besides his history.
I've met plenty of vets who went left because of their time in the service, and I don't hold that against them. I can't say the same about a military contractor though. And most of the guys I know who went left after their service didn't need to do multiple tours while enlisted, and then another in the guard to come up with that opinion.
I think the point is the primary is over and there is no way he will be worse than Collins. Hemming and hawing at this point just carries water for the establishment.
Maine primary voting date is June 9th.
So the answer to my question is no, nothing I said is inaccurate. You have nothing but faith that he will live up to his commitments, or that he is genuine in any way.
And I'm sure you were totally reasonable about validating your faith before the primaries......
I can speak my mind whenever I want. Telling people to just operate on faith alone is how the DNC keeps getting stuck with people like simea and fetterman. Your unfounded faith deserves criticism at all times.
FYI am not OP... Just guessing at their sentiment.
Ahh, my bad.
I guess the other option is to vote for the senator who has been there 29 years and spit in the face of progressive values and agenda, the working class, and supports the Israeli fascist regime and endless stupid wars.
You’re using disingenuous talking points of cable news
First of all..... Did I tell anyone to vote for Collins? Are we not supposed to critically think about candidates?
Pretty sure I said " I don't think he's going to be a worse option than Collins, but I fear there's going to be a lot of people on the left are going to be disappointed in his tenure if he wins."
Secondly, how is anything I said disingenuous? Besides that, nothing I said is mirroring mainstream news, who are mainly focusing on his tattoo or his infidelity, which I don't really care about.
I'm talking about his class history.
