        Don’t think so. He’s aggressively anti-war and pro-union. A lot of his positions are things the ruling class wouldn’t even want him pretending to believe in.

            Maine unions, who contain people who would be his constituents.

              According to his platform, he supports the PRO Act, to extend labor protections and the right to organize.

                Unfortunately, the only record he has is Reddit history, and ex girlfriends.

                  The truth! What actual coalition is he even forming‽

                  I can claim to have 👴👱‍♂️“the greatest coalition of all time, all the biggest players are there, like you wouldn’t believe!” and people would fall for it without a single shred of investigatory curiosity. Why should we believe another promise maker without proof of founding anything?

    He should celebrate by texting some women and geting another tattoo.
