I knew Phil personally 15-20 years ago in Montpelier when he was a state senator and then lt gov. He was a humble guy who would listen and discuss issues with anyone, and would always have explanations for his positions. This was the first time that I didn't vote for him, and it was completely because he attended campaign events and allowed himself to be photographed with the magamoron VT candidates, even though he put out statements denying that he agreed with their extreme/hateful positions. At this point in our history, we need to send a clear message that the destruction of democracy, the desire to eliminate rights for anyone that isn't white, male, traditionally heterosexual, xtian, is not an acceptable position, clear stop.
