Gonna ask again. Why do we keep voting him back in?

He keeps the lights on?, and he get’s the job done, or is this an effort by the natives to worship and support a sort of aristocracy and fiefdom.

Has VT always had this odd sort of caste system? I’m serious. Why? It seems really counter productive to all our best interests.

Re-election in VT =

  1. appear to be a ‘nice guy,’ not obviously cruel
  2. don’t make waves/ piss anyone off
  3. appear to be centrist so you can avoid the worst of ‘both sides’ while enjoying the best
  4. VTers have daddy issues- gravitas counts or at least that’s how many rationalize it and plenty don’t have it, hard to separate from
  5. competence/experience- his opp. was not long in it.

The vetoes alone should be a disqualifier. He really does put a quiet calm face on shitty RNC policies.

I mean if the dems put up a competent candidate they might have a chance, but so far they have all been terrible.
