      Nope, I think that is a shit lazy reason to dismiss a candidate after the news story about the tatoo had time to get plenty of attention and for more damning information to come out.

      It is clear as day the DNC wants desperately to destroy Graham Platner even if that means losing to a Republican. This was clearly part of an attempt to do that.

      You got played by corporate democrats convincing you to be cynical so Janet Mills can scrape a win out even though no one likes her and she has nothing to offer.

      We need to stop letting the alarmists grant symbols to racists and Nazis which they didn’t invent. Not everyone who posted a Pepe meme is a racist, and all types of skull and crossbones were used long before and since ww2. If they’re allowed to run with this they’ll probably tack on their label to things like this

      FC_St._Pauli_Flag

      or this

      Straw Hat Flag

      I think it’s pretty telling that the party is unwilling to run someone to the left of the guy they keep calling a nazi.
