        Seems to be. He hasn’t been accused of rape or domestic abuse, I assume he doesn’t have a Nazi tattoo on his chest (claiming he was a “history buff” and somehow didn’t know it was a Nazi symbol), he didn’t work for Blackwater, didn’t use the r-word on Reddit…

        Jackson has been a part of Maine politics. He voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary in 2016.

        Really all I see is he used to be antiabortion (except in cases of rape and/or incest) and used to be against same-sex marriage. He used to think that way due to his Roman Catholic upbringing.

        EDIT: Removed uncensored r-words.

          Please stop using r-word. It is seen as offensive to folks that are disabled as if a black individual were reading the n-word spelled out.

          Thanks you for highlighting the differences, though.

          Edit: incredible that this would be downvoted. Ppl are interesting…
