Who

Malloy

He's also a carpetbagger.

Huh

Is there a quote you can link to where we can read exactly what he supports about Jan 6?

>Asked about the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, Malloy told Vermont Public he “wished” he’d been there to protest, but added that the people who broke the law — such as those who attacked law enforcement officers — need to be held accountable.

Conservatives hate democracy.

Why does he want to legalize eagles asshole, and which eagle in particular?

Elections are definitely won and lost on Vermont's subreddit so keep up the good work 👍👍👍

I mean his support of protests over an “illegal election” isn’t a great look either. Nor is his belief there should be a federal abortion ban, no exceptions. Sigh.

Ah yes I see he espouses the position of “just the tip” when it comes to insurrection.

Can we stop giving this guy attention? It's reminding me of 2016

Scary Bird Man thinks dumb things.

Scary seditious eagle man

Isn't the word "cloaca"?

All of his positions are terrible. He poses it saying he's "concerned about the direction of our country" and then it's just a laundry list of terrible positions.

Keep getting texts asking for my support from his people, I just keep telling them to go fuck themselves.

We didn't take Trump seriously in 2016, look at how that turned out

Yeah...he’s awful. Read his stance on stuff. He tried to compare Biden’s presidency to watergate 😂

Something I agree with entirely!!! Conservatives DO hate democracy!

Probably because they uphold a Republic.

Which is what the United States of America is and always has been; a Constitutional Republic with democratically elected officials.

Look at the pedantic brain on Mechanicjohn12! Nice that you can be both right and wrong at the same time.

Check out this chucklefuck and his "states rights" civil war posts.

Getting someone's name right is a sign of respect.

“States rights” is literally the core of our government structure but okay.

The state's right to.... what, John? Wanna finish that sentence?

States right to what? What do you want me to say?

I disagree vehemently with the concept of slavery, if that’s your question, and believe or Constitution through the rights awarded would make slavery federally illegal since it was created and signed.

I DONT think states have a right to enslave a human being, for any reason.

You idiots are trying to turn an incredibly nuanced and difficult historical time of our nation into a simple one sentence reason or answer.

The original 7 states that seceded from the Union absolutely did so over slavery. The Union actually allowed and upheld slavery in several states throughout the war. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves held within the rebelling territories, NOT in the several Union states which still had slaves.

There were 7 original secede states. The other 4 seceded AFTER Lincoln mobilized 75,000 Union soldiers to quash the rebellion by force. Those 4 states were not fighting specifically for slavery (played a factor) but their main disagreements were by the violence and overreach presented from the federal government. It rang a lot like Britain prior to the Revolutionary war.

Only ~5% of the south were slave owners. Most of the slave owners never picked up a rifle to defend the institution of slavery. Ask yourself why did the poor men of the south decide to fight and die against the Union? Was it because they just loved slavery?

Or was it because they began to see the Union (aka federal government) literally enter their states and burn and pillage the homes of their friends and families who had NO relation to slavery or even southern politics.

Union soldiers did not fight to even end slavery for the most part. The whole war was mostly fought because the “Union” could not be allowed to dissolve, too much had been lost to get to the point in which they were at.

I will never defend the south and their “right” to slavery as I don’t think anybody has a right to own human beings, and believe the Constitution to clearly outline all the human rights which would expressly disallow the practice of slavery.

I love how angry vermonters get over Republicans haha. So much anger, the dark side is strong with you

Could this brain be any smoother, even Neil Tyson would agree this would be smoother than the earth is shrank down.

...or simply just common courtesy. Personally, I don't care for Malloy's politics and I do not believe the best interests of the people of Vermont are as much as a priority for him as is his promoting his fascist agenda.

Trump wasn't running in a race that was going to be an obviously one-sided hulk smash.

thank you for your service.

"Deplorable Malloy"

Deplorable

He's just some asinine troll. If you look at his comment history, you'll see he just posts asinine shit in each state's subreddit. Probably couldn't even find Vermont on a map

Republics are democracies. This is a precocious 7th grader’s argument. Very stupid.

Agreed, but whom I replied to was asking for context regarding the quote. And from that we get these additional pieces of information that aren’t very popular in our state.

I’m actually a landowner in VT;)

You can be both, exhibit a ^

*Trumpers

Most Vermonters don't mind sane Republicans. That's why Phil Scott is our governor and Malloy is lining up to be blown out.

Yes, the term cloaca is the correct one for the poop-exit/egg-exit/sperm-entrance/sperm-exit chute of a bird.

Are you saying the attack at Fort Sumter was a Union act of aggression?

Edit to add: what about all those attacks suppressing free elections in "Bleeding Kansas" against anti-slavery settlements preceding Lincoln's election?

Another edit re: Bleeding Kansas: There's literally misinformation on abolitionist gravestones there going into the 1900s so that they wouldn't get disturbed. For instance, this guy who has close Y-DNA markers to people paternally descended from ancestors of mine.

You do know the governor is a republican, right?

It’s Vermont. Who isn’t?

So was the Soviet Union technically a republic. I guess you're emphasizing the republic aspect because you're ok switching to communism run by authoritarians. As long as we're a republic...

I searched his site and found no stance on stuff. I’d really like to know his stance on stuff. Stuff is everywhere. I have a house full of stuff. I was driving down the road and saw a bunch of stuff. I turned on the radio and heard a bunch of stuff. Opened the newspaper and there was stuff there too! Something really needs to be done about all that stuff and I’d like to know what his position is on it.

Now I’ve got to go out in the yard and rake some leaves without stepping in some of the dog’s stuff…

They've really streamlined things, haven't they?

The Soviet Union was not a republic at all.

A Republic is a form of government where leaders are freely elected to represent the constituents moving forward.

I like Trumpster better... It rhymes with dumpster 😂😂😂

No, that’s not even remotely what I am saying.

The attack on fort Sumter had nothing to do with slavery and was purely about jurisdiction at that point. The south claimed the fort as their own, and that it was there property as it was within their borders.

The attack at fort Sumter was clearly southern aggression; albeit nobody died during the “battle”. Hell, nobody even knew that the attack of Sumter would be the “beginning” of the Civil War.

Nah, not a troll by any means.

My beliefs are genuine.

You've breezed over my points on what had already been going on in Kansas though.

What happened in Kansas, I would say, was internal struggles being propagated by both political factions trying to plant their foot to gain control.

Slavery back then was a massive ethical issue for the nation. People were willing to kill both to uphold the institutions, and to abolish.

Edit: you didn’t even respond to what I had said

Gotta wonder if laying eggs is pleasurable for chickens at this point, haven't done any research there though. In the meantime it's not as streamlined as on in/out receptacle as they still eat with mouths.

Stop pretending it wasn't about slavery

Nope, I'm saying you gave an incomplete response.

I can’t tell if this is some bit or...?

Holy shit I have never once said it wasn’t about slavery or the CW not being about slavery.

Nah dude you’re just unwilling to actually engage and discuss

Your words:

> Only ~5% of the south were slave owners. Most of the slave owners never picked up a rifle to defend the institution of slavery. Ask yourself why did the poor men of the south decide to fight and die against the Union? Was it because they just loved slavery?

Can you critically read? Is that me saying the CW wasn’t fought over slavery, or that the people who actually fought the battles had nothing at all to do with slavery?

Those people interfering in elections in Kansas certainly were supportive of slavery. How many of them were actually slave holders?

Edit to add: https://eldridgehotel.com/2021/06/history/

Also in Texas and Massachusetts?

Yes and yes.

Wow thats quite a coincidence, I also owe a home in every state and also on the moon

You probably don’t own shit

….and yet you downvoted it anyway.

I'll bet you're fun at parties.

He's also been on Steve Bannon's podcast three times in the last two months.

What else do you want this subreddit to be talking about DURING ELECTION SEASON? Moron.

I support what they did, just why they did it is the stupidest of reasons

What’s wrong with just not responding?

...yet I didn’t, i will no tho lol

Yup, sure.

Ok I’ll take it away now as proof

Insurectionists are terrorists and should be sent to Guantanamo.

I am blown away by the high level of political discourse in this thread my bad.

Then how would they know they can go fuck themselves?

Somebody needs to tell them. Often and in no uncertain terms.

You are in the minority. Politics are important to our livelihood. Keep not giving a shit about how this state or country is run and eventually you’ll have no friends and no rights.

lol I don't understand why this sub is so worried about the dude.

A dog's shit would be a republican for senate here.

This explains how it is 30% of free families in southern states were slave owners: https://socialequity.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/8.10.20.pdf

I am sure the others would have, but for a lack of wealth.

Must be from out of state and currently out of touch with reality. Normal local Republicans are fine. The current batshit crazy national Republicans are a menace.

Aaaand back to downvote

Gooboi…

Yesssiiir

the fuck kind of post title is that? Do I need a key to crack the code and make it legible?

OMG. Thanks you!!

[deleted]

I am in the minority of what? Is being in the minority a good or bad thing?

Not caring about politics or the direction our state and country moves in.

Thank god the majority of us DO care, otherwise this would be a fascist dictatorship.

You can just admit you eat paste, that’s OK

I disagree with every assertion and argument you made.

If you care about politics as much as everyone else on this sub, during election season, WHY are you bitching about it?

You don't remember how people talked about Trump in spring of 2016 at all, huh?

Thanks for bringing more publicity to malloys campaign, just mailed in my ballot with a vote for Malloy, please keep making these posts :)

There's a difference between what people say about a candidate 6 months before an election and what data-driven polls say two weeks before an election.

> I will never defend the south and their “right” to slavery

You just wrote 10 paragraphs literally doing that. I suggest you really think about what you stand for in life, if you are writing manifestos defending slavery (which, again, is exactly what you are doing).
