I’m not advocating for progressive groups supporting him at all!
I’m saying that maybe people in Maine should check a box for him.
If he is a Nazi that could also work out for progressives as a propaganda point (you are certainly wearing the tread out on it) and help sell the idea of party discipline for the masses, another win for socialist politics, and another loss for Democratic party, since socialists tend to like the idea of party discipline
Fetterman hurts the Democratic party in the eyes of progressives. That is good for socialists who want to split the dems and create a legitimate alternative to the Democratic party.
There are numerous examples of a left challenger overturning shitty Democrats. AOC, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee, Marie Newman, Abdelnasser Rashid, and Chris Rabb are all examples of progressives taking a win off of moderate Democratic incumbents. While many of these examples are far from perfect, they prove a trend of replacing shitty moderates with progressives.
Its also not a foregone conclusion that he will vote in lockstep with republicans 100% of the time, and if he does then a more progressive candidate could primary him. The only instance where you might be correct would be if he becomes a literal Fetterman, and even though I tend to agree that is a very strong possibility, you can’t prove that and there is little real indication that is the case. Its far more likely he is an idiot than it is he is a Nazi. He would have covered the tattoo if he was a Nazi trying to infiltrate progressive politics. Its far more likely he is going to be a moderate than a ringer for the extreme right. But I wouldn’t rule it out.
You dont have to agree with me! But stop lying about what I’m arguing.
Edited a rude first comment that I wrote out of frustration
I’m not a progressive party though, I’m just some moron online. I dont consider checking a box a actual work that progressives should do. I would not advocate an endorsement or knocking doors or doing propaganda.
Maybe you think voting is the be all end all. I do not. Maybe you think individual votes are the same as party support. I do not. The senate is a fundamentally undemocratic institution and its probably a waste of time to run as a socialist for Senate.
But voting is just checking a box, and we let the undemocratic political machine do what it does, nothing more.
