    Well let’s get more of the usual types then, let’s not try to step outside the mold and adapt. Let’s only ever run milquetoast neoliberals who want to tow the party line, that’ll show them damn libs.

      I stg. At that point, why not just be a Republican? You’re already willing to look past rape and murder and Nazi symbolism for the sake of getting one over on those neoliberal establishment Democrats, right? Where’s the fucking line, then?

      Or maybe, instead of becoming indistinguishable from the right, we can try to build a political movement that actually holds itself to some kind of extremely basic standards, that doesn’t just devolve into team sports where you look past all of “your guy’s” flaws.

      The primary for this race sucked, it was this fucking guy vs a 78 year old…

      Even if this turns into a milquetoast-off, some other races look better. More progressive candidates might make it to MI Senate, WI Governor, and a bunch of House races.

      What fucking monkey paw wish is that.

      “I don’t want milquetoast neoliberals”

      gets a rapist nazi mercenary

      It is fine that anyone can run, but he should have been laughed the moment anyone asked what did he do for a living, or what is that Tattoo. And never get even close to the news. Besides a local Maine headline “Maine nazi tries to run for dems, gets shamed out.”

      Yet he got endorsements from Warren and Sanders and others.
