Reply to comment by SemperFuu in Interesting opinion piece in Seven Days -- wondering how those in Burlington feel? by betcaro

This is what I don’t get. If Vermonters like this person are majority progressive, then why aren’t y’all happy with progressive policies that got you to this place?

That's an easy one, Vermonters are decidedly *not* majority progressive. At all. Geriatric lefty conservatism looks different (and is better than) right-wing conservatism, but it's still conservative as fuck. We're an old state with a ton of boomers who want Vermont to remain exactly the way it was.

The city of Burlington I should’ve said. As that’s their complaint and the politics of Burlington have been mainly…

But you also made the point for the state as well. Conservative is a synonym of nibyism.

Geriatric is the majority of vt as this stage has aged not well at all. Majority of youth and families have left and continue to leave. Only old boomers show up for decade+ now.
