I could give two shits if someone is a Republican in the traditional sense. I personally wish they'd do a little more to come up with ideas instead of just saying what won't work, Dems/progs are certainly flawed and I don't think they think things through all the way, but at least they're trying to solve problems even if I don't always agree with their remedies.

Malloy is cut from the trumpy cloth of republicanism though, which carries the election denialism, xenophobic, anti education, dumbass rhetoric that is actively dangerous to the country instead of just being something I disagree with. On top of that his campaign is putting his signs up all over the state, it's not just a few intersections, they're all up and down the roadways. Talk about not understanding Vermonters, which he doesn't since he just moved here a couple years ago, and a few campaign events ain't gonna change that.

I think he explains that very well. I wish I could say I was a native born Vermonter, unfortunately I am not. I am from the deep, red, south. I wish I could say that I support either candidate, I think both sides are incredibly flawed. My biggest issue though with Republicans is they lean more towards Very restrictive rules based on religion. The republican party has for the longest time opposed abortion rights. As a woman, that alone is enough for me to say no thank you. There are plenty of reasons there should be exceptions for abortions. There is a very solid list for the reason there should be late term abortions. There is no woman out there who gets a late term abortion and did it willy-nilly or just because she didn’t want the pregnancy. on that platform alone, I cannot support them. I invite anybody who disagrees to see the medical and be very real human side to that debate. On top of that there is no pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, and if that’s what your platform stands on, you don’t care about the people. I’m not saying Democrats really do, I think they’re just slightly better than Republicans
