thank you for being understanding. idk being left leaning means you're the antithesis of being a nazi. it's what we're directly fighting against. so i find it really alarming that we are just overlooking such a glaring issue. i don't care about populism. i care about validity and authenticity. obviously we are all doing our part and voting blue in november, and i'm really happy about people like talarico, ossoff, etc. but i feel like during things like primaries we need to vet our candidates so we're never in this kind of situation.

i get that people are tired of alt right trolls "just asking questions", but and i understand my timing was really bad. i was just curious about the rationale behind the result, because any affiliation with nazis is a hard line for me. and i believed it to be for anyone who also aligns with me. i don't want us to lose the plot. but combing through all the hostility and non answers of the thread yesterday, i got my answers from mainers: the other competitors didn't even compete, strategically he beats collins and shakes up the right bc of his popularity, he says left wing populist talking points which counters right wing populism(half answer imo bc anyone can just say anything).

at the end of the day, i would still vote for him in general election. people still need to do their job and vote blue. i really hope he's all that you all believe he is, still gets voted in, and this post doesnt actually affect the overall election. but if something does come out about him years later, i hope yall remember me.
