  • something made them not worry about this guy being too progressive

    You keep making stuff up and hoping it’ll stick.

    They dropped out because he was trouncing them in the polls. DNC did not want him to do well, but they cannot deny how well he’s doing.

    Which goes to my entire point at the start of this thread. DNC has been holding back progressive candidates with the argument that they aren’t electable. If this guy runs as a progressive and wins, something 5 traditional democrats were unable to do, it only goes to show the DNC has been wrong this whole time about what is electable.


  • I am responding

    No, you’re reaching. You called him an out and proud Nazi and have nothing to show for that comment except a tattoo that he has a reasonable excuse for. You don’t believe him cause you don’t want to.

    As for the primaries, you’re technically right that there are not primaries. But that is not because he didn’t face competition. His competition desperately tried to say the same things you are, but it wasn’t effective. And it won’t be in the election either.

    Lol, “weak republican”. Omg you’re a trip. She’s a Republican in a consistent democratic state that has beaten 5 democrats. You keep saying things that make me think you’re full of crap, but this one was too much.


  • I’ve probably had a dozen reddit accounts over the years. I would imagine that he did too.

    This sounds like you’re just reaching for something to keep the narrative going. Despite the tattoo, the dude does not come across as a Nazi. And his excuse for the tattoo sounds reasonable.

    I’m not too familiar with previous elections, but Collins has beat plenty of other democrats. Janet Mills seemed a pretty standard candidate. Platner was backed by Bernie Sanders. I honestly give that more weight than anything.

    Republicans can try their attack ads, but it didn’t work in the primaries. Going into the actual election, this will be old news.


  • I’m sure you’re right. I for one did not recognize it. Though I don’t tend to pay attention to nazi symbols, except the main one… Nazi symbols is not exactly something they teach in schools. You can easily learn about the history while never seeing the symbols.

    I have been in the military before, and I understand the brainwashing that takes place. I can understand the team choosing something and the individual not really caring what it means. Even if they understand its history. If he really knew what it meant and was supportive, I would think he would have covered it up before getting into politics. I think he genuinely did not think about it till he was running.

    If you look at his Reddit comments, he absolutely does not come across as an “out and proud Nazi”. He clearly didn’t remove his problematic posts, but there isn’t anything that aligns with him being a Nazi. When I listen to what he has to say about his past, and I read the comments he made on Reddit, he sounds consistent and genuine.

    When I hear people call him “out and proud Nazi”, I think they clearly have an agenda that aligns very closely with the people that want Collins to win reelection.
