Keep trying to smear Graham, anybody that’s met him in person knows that he is an absolutely amazing person, and that a checkered past doesn’t define a person’s future.
To everyone jumping on the dog pile, at least he is trying to make a difference, an objectively positive change for the people of Maine. I live here, I trust that he is not the same person he was when he served because DECENT PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF GROWTH AND CHANGE. Internet trolls in their mother’s Midwestern basement or some ComBlock housing unit in Moscow might have a difficult time understanding that.

You start out acting like you’re trying to open people’s eyes to something they may not have all the facts about. That’s great! …Then you attack the same people you are supposedly trying to sway. That’s not so great, to put it very mildly. It renders your entire message invalid and makes you look like the very thing you are accusing others of being.
I’ve never heard of this dude before but I can tell you, that’s one big fucking change you’re expecting there…
If he tattooed himself a nazi symbol without knowing what it is, his IQ is low enough that change means going from one dumb thing to another.
You definitely don’t want him in a position of power, and if he’s such a good person as you say, then he’s not smart enough to understand he’s unqualified.
Apparently this is the mage. Prior to today, if you put this in front of me along with several other skull designs and asked me to identify the Nazi one i would have been unable to.
Sure, but this guy is a former Marine and a history buff. You’re telling ne you can have a symbol on your chest for 20 years and not once go looking to see if it means anything?
Not to mention his own campaign manager is saying he called it a totemkomf.
Fair enough. Although this is objectively a pretty well known nazi symbol, I would not expect anyone to necessarily know what it is.
But if you were going to get it tattooed, I would expect - of a person with a little bit of a brain who is asking for people’s vote no less - to do some basic research.
Also let’s not forget that it being a nazi symbol means that most tattoo artists will not do this, so being in the company of someone who did also speaks volumes.
So you believe that IQ (or general intelligence, because IQ is a shot measurement of intelligence) cannot change through a person’s life?
Let’s say they changed their sleep habits, started eating healthy, and took time to get deeper cultural knowledge about humanity… Would it be possible?
Going from - presumably inadvertently - tattooing oneself with a nazi symbol to becoming a senator who will benefit the community they aspire to serve is a huge leap.
Even if the guy just started eating all his veggies and sleeping at 20:00, I don’t know… I see a lot of mental gymnastics going into this one, surely there’s a better candidate out there right?
Yeah, I’m glad I don’t have to make that (voting) choice myself!
I don’t know enough about this guy, but he definitely has a strike. He would need to be otherwise perfect, and to be in the process of having the tattoo removed.
My main concern is that people can change, and also young people make a lot of really dumb mistakes in order to be accepted by their peers… If they don’t have a choice of environment due to poverty or other things outside their control, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a good person get involved with criminal gangs.

Decent people can also remove a Nazi tattoo
I wanted to believe you until I got to this:

Yeah that’s a fair question. Personally I’d want to know, although I’d never get any tattoo to begin with.

Looks more like a necro than a mage tbh
You are clearly a master of sociology and logic.

I’m sorry, I make it a point not to take the word of PEOPLE WHO CAPITALIZE ALL-CAPS MID-SENTENCE at face value.
Oh look, another group of people you can dehumanize. Fuck all those people who use all caps intermittently, right? Unforgivable shit.
If you sound like a Trump, you should be treated like a Trump.
Also people who end comments in lol or with AI generated images of them wearing a crown while shitting on their citizenship.
