Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.
I genuinely believe it’s a card the bourgeoisie is reserving to preserve imperialism by uniting the populace in support of the regime. The DNC can pivot to a social imperialist stance and retain imperialism for a bit longer that way, US wars are all unpopular now and cracks are showing. A social fascist pivot by the DNC could buy some time and make US imperialism more popular.
