    As a single-issue voter. He is pro-medicare-for-all and that is the litmus test for me.

        I guess some people would vote for Hitler(?) But that is a non-issue for the 2026 Maine Democratic US Senate Primary.

          single issue voting literally means you’d vote for someone committing genocide or enabling apartheid if the one issue you’d vote for is free healthcare for citizens. Thats closer to National Socialism than Democratic…

            Fortunately the specific tenants of National Socialism aren’t applicable to voting in the 2026 semi-closed Democratic primary of the US State of Maine. Especially considering the choices were “Pro-genocide” or “pro medicare-for-all” Seems like an easy choice to me.

              DNC is directly & actively responsible for genocide in Gaza. So if your single issue is Healthcare, you’d vote for someone throwing people into concentration camps to get that. It’s literally, by definition, your “single issue”. It’s the dumbest shit ever.

              If you don’t think Nazism is still an issue in 2026 you haven’t been paying attention to American Politics. Graham Platner had one of the most recognizable SS/National Socialist/Nazi emblems tattooed on him for years while he went to a middle eastern country and killed brown people. The richest person in the world saluted Hitler on stage. Biden killed atleast thousands of literal children. You should be aware of fascism in 2026. Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t mean shit it’s still a very real problem in white America.

                  No, you voted for a man with a literal Nazi tattoo. That makes you a Nazi too. If you sit down to dinner with 10 Nazis and all that…
