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.

So you're advocating for him.

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.
