Tells you all you need to know, dunnit?

Can’t wait to see him lose then say the election was stolen.

Disgusting

[deleted]

So you're actively rooting for the end of democracy?

Seeing the sign pollution all over is gross especially because you know they're all illegally placed on city property.

It’s interesting that Trump would endorse Malloy, he’s going to lose, and Trump doesn’t like losers. I guess that’s why it was just an email and not a rally.

It will be particularly egregious since the race shouldn't even be close.

Ha ha ha; oh, ha ha ha ha!

All the more reason to keep him out of office

Trolls gonna troll

HACS: Help America Commit Suicide

Best reason not to vote for him

Ohh. So he DOESN'T want to win the election? Got it LOL

He should have to personally pick up the dreck with his name on it all over literally every road I drive on when he inevitably loses.

Oh my someone who gets democratically elected "most votes" means the end of democracy cause it's not my guy. Nice DNC talking point looks like you got the memo. I don't like Malloy or Trump but this end of democracy crap is just that crap.

I especially like how he steals government documents and likely sells them to foreign entities. Super cool dude. Really loved when he ran a fake charity for children with cancer. Real stand up guy. Yay oligarchy.

The GOP wants as few people to vote as possible and they want to determine who those voters are. That's not democracy.

Did you just wake up from a coma ?

Nah, it's the part where they're outright saying if they lose it's rigged but if they win it's legit. It's the part where they're saying they'll make it so no democrat ever wins again. It's the part where they won't vote to help veterans and children and old and poor people because they don't want to give a win to democrats. It's the part where a lot of them are still saying the 2020 election was stolen. But yeah, let's put it on DNC talking points instead of the hate and lies and vitriol that the republicans are literally saying daily.

Get the tissues ready. They're gonna cry about the results of this one too!

Let me put on my surprised face.

Trump tried to fuck your mom but he forgot his Viagra.

Yep, did you see how many signs there were compared to his competition? In their minds Vermonters support him more because there are more signs, so if he looses then the election was stolen. It’s going to happen if Klar looses in Orange. I can’t get over the amount of sign spamming all along the 14. It’s not even in peoples yards but just random places like in the Williamstown Gulf. I know they didn’t ask the property owners permission bc they live in New Zealand.

“There are two kinds of patriotism -- monarchical patriotism and democratic patriotism. In the one case the government and the king may rightfully furnish you their notions of patriotism; in the other, neither the government nor the entire nation is privileged to dictate to any individual what the form of his patriotism shall be. The gospel of the monarchical patriotism is: "The King can do no wrong." We have adopted it with all its servility, with an unimportant change in the wording: "Our country, right or wrong!" We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had:-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.”

-Mark Twain

CACAWWWW

There are definitely parts of VT where a Trump endorsement will fly (like an eagle). Sad.

Gonna be like 60-30 won’t hear a peep from malloy

Another example of Trump not putting in any effort to find out what is really going on. Malloy speaks like Trump. Malloy courted Trump. Malloy supported the rigged 2020 election conspiracy. Trump likes sycophants, and that's good enough for him. Malloy is going to lose by a huge margin, and even though that is easy to predict from pre-election surveys, it will come as a total surprise to Trump, who will then throw Malloy under the bus and blame him for wasting Trump's endorsement.

Hope thats a nail in mean bird man’s coffin

Among the many

fuck this guy.

yet another reason to hate his guts.

Meanwhile Georgia is seeing the largest early voting turnout in the states history. Hmmm. Seems democracy is working just fine. Have you been prevented from voting or anyone you know? Both sides pull this shit around election time it's pure fearmongering crap. Got a problem go vote enough of the talking points that don't match reality. Oh and this guy wont even come close to winning here anyways so why all the hate?

Lol, the GOP is actively working to take votes away from people. They just celebrated a successful effort to stop Pennsylvania from counting ballots if there is an issue with the date on the ballot.

> Undated and incorrectly dated ballots have been at the center of a years-long legal fight in Pennsylvania. State law requires that voters date their ballots, even though state law also specifies that ballots must be received by election officials by the close of polls for them to count. That means the date when they are cast has no bearing on whether they’re counted.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/01/pennsylvania-court-undated-ballots-00064549

Has nothing to do with fraud or protecting elections. Everything to do with suppressing the vote of their opponent. Which memo did you get your talking points from?

> Gonna be like 60-30

Exactly but this sub has been acting like he's got a lock on it or something endless daily threads with the same nonsense. Just don't vote for him jeez. And like a Trump endorsement will get him points here in Vermont. Lol

More like 80-20

That helps me know who i'm voting against. Thanks, Donny Smallhands.

You mean the same one-party system in Georgia that purged voter rolls illegally of active voters, shut down as many polling places in populated areas as possible, and even made it illegal to bring water to those poor folks stuck a mile-long line in hot temps all day?

That sure seems democratic to me.

But can it fuck like an eagle?

You really pick and choose your truth, don't you?

> Undated and incorrectly dated ballots

Ya I don't want those counted either. How hard is it to properly fill out a ballot good grief. We have rules/laws for a reason. Deviate to far and you provide room for conspiracy theories true or not.

So where do you put the date on your ballot in Vt.? Oh yea, we don't date ballots here because, as the story notes, there's no point since the ballot must be counted before polls close.

Block and move on…

Don't be obtuse. We both know full well this is about PA mail in ballots not Vermont.

Right, don't be obtuse. We both know putting the date on a ballot is pointless, but you support people losing the right to vote over it.

Only Malloy himself knows this answer.

You sully the name of cats everywhere. Shame on you!

His Positions page is just a list of them.

He takes his access to lithium very seriously.

If you failed to properly fill out a check when paying a bill you know what happens yes? Anyways pretty sure the date mark in question in PA is written on the envelope but to be fair I am not really sure but either way it's the law in PA that you must fill them out and date them in a certain way. Don't like it? Fine change the law. Are you saying following the law is pointless? Seems the point is that if you want your vote counted you have to follow it.

Oh, well he's definitely going to win now. /S

You for sure are someone who follows laws you agree with and disregards the ones you don't. But since the Dems lose some ballots in this dating scheme, you want to play the good choir boy, who dutifully follows every law because you're just that great of a citizen. Spare me.

Go give Biden a kiss

lol, imagine thinking Malloy could win, when the nominations were 12k((malloy)) to 87 THOUSAND LOL

I love his catchy campaign slogan:

Fuck Malloy

Yeah an exact play out of the Trump playbook for sure. It only takes a little digging to realize that the last Republican senator from Vermont changed affiliation because the party was getting too extreme in 2001!

For the record Trump lost the popular vote twice. You mean to say elected by the republic, having the most electoral votes.

https://socialistworker.org/2010/04/21/the-twain-they-didnt-teach

Couldn't it be delivered to his house? Is that a matter of public record? They're his belongings / created in his name, right?

The problem is he'd have to actually come to Vermont to do that.

With all due disrespect, I'm not the one who voted for Trump.

"I wish I had the balls to go to the Jan 6th insurrection and be a traitor." is the most spineless thing I have ever heard someone say.

Im sure the endorsement has been paid for via donation to Trumps election campaign. That and Malloy is going to need to show his support in 2024. Everything is calculated.

This dickhead had his team shove little campaign postcards 'deploy malloy' in the doors and windows of every single car at the Rutland farmers market. His campaign signs have big better call saul energy, in the worst ways

Yet another reason to not vote for this guy!

So you voted for some idiot who is running our country into the dirt..

Trump is going to want the support of a "loser" from 2022 mid-term elections? Maybe Trump's toddler mind won't remember after a year.

What's old is new!

Allegedlys

If you mean the one who's doing the best he can with the shit that Trump and his ilk left behind, yes.

Edit: Nice editing on your other comment. Stand by your stupidity or shut the fuck up you useless twat.

the only way Welch could lose is if Trump endorsed him

If it nets him a couple extra dollars then who cares if he takes the L. Malloy will lose bc republicans won’t win a VT senate seat, but he does know wealthy (R) VTers who could potentially give $$ to Trump over Desantis. It’s not about winning it’s about planting money trees, he’s doing this across the country.

are we supposed to be surprised

Trump grabs eagles by the pussy?

If one of them is violating flags and the other eagles the great seal of the US needs to watch out!

If what you're saying is true, then it's a function of whatever "team" is operating to plant these money trees for Trump. I doubt that the man himself has the foresight to think this far down the road.

GO TO HELL

.#trumpisdead

So that's who my town is going to vote for. Hmm...

I'm sure that will push him over the top. lol. Seriously - he doesn't have a chance no matter what. God could endorse him and he's lose by 20 points.

[deleted]

That's a lot of assumptions you dumb worthless smelly cunt. I don't care who's ballots are tossed right left or in the middle. If they are not properly filled out they get tossed as the law states. Now kindly go fuck yourself you know nothing about me.

Uh oh, someone is triggered. Need a hug? And let's not pretend like you aren't a right wing nut job. Your comment history is public, just fyi.

Wait, don't you post about smoking marijuana? Why, that's illegal federally. And a medical card doesn't count since weed is schedule 1, has no medical use in the eyes of the feds. Huh, so you do select which laws to follow after all. Weird how that was readily apparent.

Scary Bird Man endorsed by former ruler Angery Orange Cheeto

So cliche now. It’s become practically inevitable these days.

Theirs a local mechanic in my area that is a complete degenerate lol, can't go to his shop without him constantly talking about politics and conspiracies.

His storefront has a gigantic trump flag on the building, which has been there for years, and now he added another huge deploy malloy sign flag as well up on his building right next to the trump one, its pretty pathetic.

Trump isn't going to fuck you, son. Stop simping.

Boooo booo tomato tomato tomato

I was driving north of Dorset yesterday on Rt. 7 and saw a VTRANS truck pulling up political signs along the road! I gave a honk and a thumbs up!

Ooh…I think I know where that is! Always think I wouldn’t let that guy operate heavy machinery.

The headline says it all. I saw this asshat on the news this morning claiming that January 6 wasn’t a riot.

I love when they clearly demonstrate where I should not spend my money

Most posts I see about him on this sub are about him fucking birds. It's hilarious.

Hardly just lack of patience for morons who make wild accusations without any evidence. Quite relaxed actually cookie I ate about an hr ago is kicking in making this a bit more entertaining than before. Have a great day.

And it turned out those accusations were 100% accurate. Don't be mad because you're so easy to read. And you would have been great during the civil rights movement. "I know it sucks to sit in the back of the bus, but that's the law." The whole concept of civil disobedience is completely foreign to you. Glad you're sedated again.

Sigh... Still going on with this crap. This is America we DO NOT have a popular vote system for the presidency. The campaign is about and focused on getting the electoral vote as that's all that matters. Do you bitch when a football team gets more yards but looses the game? Popular vote count here is not relevant at all. In this case most votes is still valid.

Essex here and I've been seeing increasing numbers of people with their signs near busy roads

Grifters from Day 1. Childrens Cancer Charity donations spent by TFG on a life sized gold leaf framed self portrait. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-clue-to-the-whereabouts-of-the-6-foot-tall-portrait-of-donald-trump/2016/09/14/ae65db82-7a8f-11e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html Granted that link could be considered to a "liberal rag" but had to fact check it. TRUE. So many links, "...many fine people..."

I know, that's what said. Football sucks why would I watch it? You said "most votes" so I corrected your ambiguity, because whatever you meant, we can't read your mind and your language was unclear. Any questions?

Of course he is endorsed by Trump. He’s a Christian fascist!

Well ya, he’s not a political strategist. He’s a polarizing figure that has been a celebrity in the national spotlight for close to 40 years.

Ew.

Disgusting men

Shocking

Democrats like Sarah George have led this state into turmoil. I'll be voting on 8th for the first time in my life to try to oust political terrorist Sarah George from her states attorney office. I'm a young guy and in my life have seen Burlington and Winooski turn from great cities into criminal ruin and squalor since the BLM movement. I'll be punching a straight Republican ticket. Vermont's leftist ideology has come crashing down upon itself and it's obvious for all to see.

Russian troll?

Nope, born and raised in Northern Franklin county Vermont. Most people here agree Sarah George needs to be voted out, so I don't see why anyone that wants her out would vote for another Democrat who no doubt supports her "criminal justice reform". The standard boilerplate position of Democrats is to let violent offenders including murders out of jail and give them absurdly low bail. That isn't a policy worth supporting. Being weak on crime literally means that people will be brutally murdered and assaulted. I think anyone that lets a criminal off the hook should be charged with whatever crime the person then commits. In Sarah George's case see should be charged with multiple murders and locked up for life. Her goal isn't to help anyone. She is intentionally unleashing criminals onto our streets to leave a wake of destruction for her own personal financial gain. She is a stochastic terrorist.

All these Trumplicans can fuck all the way off

Well hopefully that will be the final nail in his campaign coffin.

Shocking!

Anyone else a little nervous? This is going to be a bad year for Democrats and the are lots of people in VT who won't admit to being MAGA

You are a very dumb man I would like to see how your accomplishments compare

Luckily they'll be able to recount his votes in under a minute.

Not that he had a chance here anyway but this sinks him campaign completely

Compare to whom?

Misquoted.
Specifically, in the first sentence, the word written by Twain in his notebook (spanning 1904-1908) was “republican”, not “democratic”. More importantly, the excerpt was the fifth paragraph in a longer note by Twain, and it was preceded by four paragraphs which provide meaningful context for his use of the word “patriotism”. Here are the five paragraphs:

“A Patriot is merely a rebel at the start.

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been.

In any civic crisis of a great and dangerous sort the common herd is not privately anxious about the rights and wrongs of the matter, it is only anxious to be on the winning side.

In the North, before the war, the man who opposed slavery was despised and ostracized, and insulted. By the "patriots." Then, by and by, the "patriots" went over to his side, and thenceforth his attitude became patriotism.

There are two kinds of patriotism -- monarchical patriotism and republican patriotism. In the one case the government and the king may rightfully furnish you their notions of patriotism; in the other, neither the government nor the entire nation is privileged to dictate to any individual what the form of his patriotism shall be. The gospel of the monarchical patriotism is: "The King can do no wrong." We have adopted it with all its servility, with an unimportant change in the wording: "Our country, right or wrong!" We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had:-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.”

Yeah you’ve been on reddit for less than three weeks and you’re at -63 karma because you say a lot of dumb shit. Pretty doubtful you live here. Also really doubtful you just changed your mind about politics because you’ve been whining and crying about Democrats before today.

Good job posting from your porn account.

Donald Trump

My how times have changed, when to "make love to someone" meant to flirt and the Republicans were the progressives despised by wealthy southern slave holders. I don't know, but for the sake of clarity, I'd argue Twain wasn't referring to the "republican" party (small 'r' if your copying is correct) but rather anyone whose patriotism is devoted to the republic defined as "a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them..." So, in this instance, given the change in meaning between republican then and Republican now, "democratic" (small 'd') might be more accurate (though I'm not defending the misquote).

Oh wow man I'm really upset that the groupthink of redditors don't agree with me.

One area where I can't compete with Trump is that I'm not directly responsible for a bungled and negligent national response to COVID, such that hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead that shouldn't be. I've gotta give him that. 👍

No, you’re just a dumbass that is desperate to go against the grain.

Trump cannot fail, he can only be failed.

> "But I thought Vermont Republicans were different!"

quote from a fairly stupid liberal/centrist.

Lol okay bud. Let's watch the midterms and see who really is out to lunch.

Why do you live in a dark blue state if you’re a stanch conservative? Seems fucking dumb choosing to live in the land of Bernie Sanders.

It isn't a deep blue state, it's been turned into one by trust funds kids and hedge funds managers from Connecticut using it as their winter playground since the 1970s. My family literally fought for the Green Mountain Boys in the American revolution, but you get to tell me where I'm allowed to live? What authority do you preside over that entitles you to make these claims? Many towns in Northern Vermont vote Republican, likely comprising the biggest share of the native Vermonter population, so what is your point?

Blah blah blah it’s a deep blue state and will be in the future.

Blah blah blah people like you don't matter because we will use force of numbers to overwhelm your kind and then seek and destroy you.

That's what you really meant to say, so why not just say?

You’re fucking kidding right? The Republican party itself has threatened Civil War, the Democrats aren’t the ones threatening violence. But yeah if you go by the last two elections there’s a hell of a lot more voting Democrats than Republicans, you guys only have a prayer because of gerrymandering and the electoral college. Phil Scott being one of the rarest exceptions considering he’s definitely not a modern Republican, the GOP barely consider him a Republican.

They are. Malloy's a transplant and he can migrate back to where he came from this winter.
