Reply to comment by Cap1691 in Why Phil Scott again? by rufustphish

She's an activist that's never held office before. She has a bad reputation in the nonprofits industry for pulling random information out of her ass, taking credit for things she didn't do and weirdly attacking certain services. Shes burned bridges with a lot of the dems in VT.

I wouldn't really call her a good candidate. She was never going to win even with support.

If Vermont wants a dem to win we need a strong somewhat moderate dem that also vibes with the rural people in this state. Probably someone with experience in office. Vermonters like level-headed people that change things slowly.

I agree with you. Just because you have experience being poor, raising a family in VT, and just because you purport to care SOOO MUCH, doesn't mean you're qualified to be Governor.

Additionally, during the VPR Governor candidate debate, when talking about climate change, greenhouse gases, and electric vehicles, they were talking about the price of buying electric vehicles. Yes, electric vehicles are expensive. Scott said something about expanding programs that refurbish and sell used electric vehicles for prices like $10-15K as more affordable options. Siegel responded by saying that for many families across VT, including hers, buying a used car for $10K is just not an option.

I don't think I want someone as my Governor who can't afford to buy a $10K used car.
