12. Worse than shady.

The whole Nazi death's head tattoo, women allow themselves to get raped, etc. ad nauseum posts from him don't just go away because he's progressive on some issues. Those were not things he did 20 years ago. Try 5 years ago.

Is that really the only choice in Maine now: Asshole vs Old Lady? I thought I saw another cool progressive candidate - don't remember his name but I think he was a gay man.
