purity tests aren't a bad idea
A "purity test" can refer to two distinct concepts, one related to personal morality and the other to political ideology.
The most widely recognized form is the Rice Purity Test, a 100-question self-assessment survey that originated at Rice University in the 1920s. It is designed to gauge an individual's perceived innocence or exposure to various life experiences, particularly those related to sex, drugs, deceit, and other activities considered vices. Participants answer questions about their past experiences, and their responses are scored on a percentage scale, with 100% representing the highest level of innocence and 0% the lowest. The test has evolved into a popular online quiz, often taken for entertainment and self-reflection, and has seen a revival through social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit. Modern versions are available online with interactive features and are accessible to a global audience.
In politics, a purity test is a rigid standard applied to a politician or public figure based on a specific issue to ensure their ideological alignment with a particular group, such as a political party or faction. These tests are used to maintain ideological purity and often create strict in-group and out-group boundaries, where failing the test can result in exclusion or censure. For example, in the United States, Republicans who are seen as failing to meet the party's standards on issues like election integrity are labeled as Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), while Democrats who deviate from party lines may be called Democrats in Name Only (DINOs). Similar dynamics have been observed in the UK Labour and Conservative parties, where adherence to specific positions has been criticized as a form of purity testing. Critics argue that such tests can hinder coalition-building and effective governance by prioritizing ideological conformity over compromise

His reddit username was "p-hustle"
That username could get him roasted for different reasons
.I’m not making up anything. You called him a far left weirdo and I just pointed out the policy stances that gets one called far left in America and his stances. You need to do a better job of articulating what you mean - this isn’t South America b. Anything left of Andrew Cuomo is called far left here.What? You're making up stuff for no reason.
Him having a Nazi tattoo is apart of him being a weirdo. Also, wanting universal healthcare is NOT synonymous with being far left.
I support universal healthcare and I'm not a far-left person
The same leftists who relentlessly attacked Kamala Harris for being a "cop" are falling over themselves to defend a former Blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo. 
Totenkopf (German: [ˈtoːtn̩ˌkɔpf], literally "dead person's head") is a German compound word for death's head. The word is often used to denote a figurative, graphic or sculptural symbol, common in Western culture, consisting of the representation of a human skull – usually frontal, more rarely in profile with or without the mandible. In some cases, other human skeletal parts may be added, often including two crossed long bones (femurs) depicted below or behind the skull (when it may be referred to in English as a "skull and crossbones"). The human skull is an internationally used symbol for death, the defiance of death, danger, or the dead, as well as piracy or toxicity.
August von Mackensen, German field marshal in hussar full dress prior to 1914, with the Totenkopfon his fur busbyUnless you studied Nazi history you wouldn’t know this symbol because it’s a common image across cultures.
Even the Germans used it prior to the Nazi party even forming.
Personally I only know the swaztika and the two lightning bolts. I never knew the skull and crossbones was co-opted by the Nazis. The characters created by Kaws are technically Nazi symbols along with the Jolly Roger

A lot of them "ACAB" far left reddit cacs are lowkey white supremcists. The phrase literally was coined by white power prison gangs.
Makes sense Janet mills is anti-union, pro-Israel, pro-filibuster, is against universal healthcare., and pro Susan Collins. He's easily the better choice and it's not close.Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna endorsed him
