    I’m not in Maine, so my vote doesn’t count. I’m allowed to criticize a political subject, principled criticism is one of the only ways to uncover truth.

    Also there is a difference between a united front and a popular front. In a united front, left groups retain their ability to constructively criticize each other and maintain independence and democracy, while working practically to achieve ends that would be a clear improvement for working class conditions.

    A popular front is when left groups dissolve themselves into a movement, which would be actually controlled by the most powerful group, in this case the DNC. I don’t trust the DNC, and they are extremely difficult to work with. Popular fronts are authoritarian and disastrous.

    There is no indication that electing one possibly left wing senator would be a marked improvement, or that giving power to the DNC in this one race would improve conditions for the vast majority of people.
