    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.

      I wanted to believe you until I got to this:

      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.

      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.
