    Lol! You think you’re “putting stock in his past actions”, when all you’re really doing is repeating the establishment narrative about them. It’s all oppo research being weaponized against yet another progressive candidate, that has an actual shot at unseating a dug-in conservative.

    But, good job on swallowing the propaganda without even checking the sources first…or even bothering to listen to what he says about any of it. Seriously, you should be on Susan Collins’ payroll, with all the help you’re giving her campaign. Maybe you could sell merch for her, too?

        If you’re listening to what someone else is saying about what someone says, instead of just listening to what they are actually saying…then you are listening to a “narrative”. That intentional misrepresentation of the truth is called “propaganda”.

        Do you understand what those words mean?

        Because if you actually listen to what he’s saying, instead of what other people are saying about him, then you probably wouldn’t fall for their propaganda.

          What have I said, that isn’t factual? Is it hearsay that he has a Nazi tattoo, or that he worked at Abu ghraib and for Blackwater? Those are just facts, aren’t they? I have listened to what he is saying, and his politics sounds good. Excuse me if I take his words with a grain of salt, given his past actions. No “narrative” needed for me to be wary of a guy with a past like that.
