I dunno man, Susan Collins or a secret Nazi. It’s a tough choice.

Edit: The sad thing is that I don’t even know if I’m being sarcastic…

You do realize the election is a year away and the primaries haven’t happened yet, right? It is in no way a binary choice between those two candidates.

I do realize that, yes. It was an attempt at levity, because holy shit, what a world we live in.

Haha, right on, almost put that if it was sarcasm then you totally got me on it. After being called a puritan for taking issue with him having a nazi tattoo, I can’t tell who is being serious or not on this anymore.

I think my favorite lighthearted response (from bluesky) was- Never trust a man with frosted tips. Seems like a pretty good code to live by.

Janet Mills is running as well, even though she's about 127 yrs old, she would still be an improvement over Collins.
