Reply to comment by Intelligent-Hunt7557 in So when do you expect Malloy to deploy his picking up litter skills? And Rohan can come get his crap. This is opposite my house I don’t want to see this little anymore. by Rincewindisahero

Again, as I said, once someone else takes ownership of the sign, it is no longer the campaign’s garbage.

The previous poster is directly correlating in the responsibility of a volunteer in a specific location to the overarching value of the candidate on the sign.

That is an extremely ignorant and shortsighted position to take.

Also, why do you bring up Zuckerman or boners? I used him once in this thread as an example in how a fine based system could easily be gamed. I think I actually used both gubernatorial candidates in that same post.

I don’t think I have once implied my political leanings here and yet you somehow come to the conclusion about my politics. The unfortunate part of Reddit is the hypocrisy. Politics has become a sport and fans of all teams are too blind to engage in critical thinking. People like you who say things like “Both sides” embody the problem. Rather than look at a candidate in a state of local election to determine if they represent you and your values you automatically assume whichever team you are on is right and the other team is wrong. Instead of assume that, in VT at least, most people are doing what they think is right you think all Republicans are closeted homosexuals who hate women or all Democrats want to make ever child change genders. You seem to lack the basic ability to make a decision based on the facts in front of you and justify or ignore facts about people on your team.

Maybe you will eventually realize it, maybe not, but the real issue is between the rich and the poor. A system has been designed which pitches poor people against each other fighting for scraps while the rich get richer. It is easy to convince people like you that the Republican Party is full of Nazis or the Democratic Party is full of pedophiles because when we fight each other, we won’t fight them.

Companies are about to start laying off hundreds of thousands as we enter an economic downturn and you want to argue about David Zuckerman because you think pointing out his past somehow equates to hate. (I also called him an asshole but really, spend even a hour with the guy trying to get something done and you will agree)

The world is going to shit and you are 1/2 the reason why. Read some history books, get off social media (Reddit is ok if you only troll /Vermont) and ask yourself, why does it seem that since 1980 regardless of who is in office, we only see minor change.

Anyway, hate is a strong word. I can happily say I don’t hate anyone today. I do think you are a fucking idiot but that is a different story, maybe you will decide to change, maybe not. Either way, I’m finishing my morning coffe and need to get ready for work. Have a good day, a bad day, in between, I don’t really care because to me, you are just another idiot on Reddit.

*I also just noticed that almost every time I post about David as it relates to this election you bring up Malloy and respond. Are you stalking me?

I responded because you seem to intentionally misunderstand the nature of people’s posts and then haughtily complain about the low quality of Reddit posts in general. Like, show you care about having a normal interaction by not leaping to name-calling and escalation. Don’t crap on bystanders and wonder why Reddit is a cesspool.

Do you have a hate-boner for me. Why are you stalking me. I think this needs to be reported to the site admins.

*If you read his post it has so far changed from candidates to volunteers to supporters. The guy is making shit up to fit his narrative and is pissy he is getting called out for it.

Again, responding to someone’s comments is not stalking, even if more than once. No need to escalate. There are different ways a sign can end up on public or private land. Ultimately it’s the candidate’s responsibility to pick it up if’s on public property or they put it up without expressed consent (which is alleged elsewhere)

If it is on public property the town can and does collect and dispose of it. If it is placed on private property, then it is the property owner who should remove it, otherwise how do you know if the there is consent.

Neither of those represent only supporting a candidate who makes sure a team of volunteers pick up signs after an election because a failure to do so means they do not represent VT. (Which is what the other poster asserted)
