I have been commuting an hour+ over the border to DHMC. The commute sucks, especially in the winter, but I am at least getting the treatments I need in a more timely fashion.

This Sharon woman sounds very loose

Great question. Looking forward to you joining the rest of us in asking these idiots soon. Welcome!

The laplatte River in shelburne is an easy paddle from shelburne bay. Lots of birds and turtles but bring some bug spray!

I don’t think VT republicans are much like national republicans at all. I think many republicans voted for prop 5, which means when it comes to social issues they aren’t outnumbered, they are part of the majority 🤷🏼‍♂️.

I don’t know what your profession has to do with anything…

Propose what? A condo development? Pretty much anywhere works.

Or sand.

😑

This……so good

Our democrats and our republicans are more or less the same

It’s been adopted by the ‘I am a racist and proud to be’ jerks. See also Ram pickup.

Oh sure, and I’m sure some democrats voted against.

Are you really trying to divorce the Vermont republicans from the national party? I’m a truck mechanic. I’m VERY familiar with Vermont republicans.

It is very strange how popular our republican governor is, I think he'll be around a long time. In my opinion as a lifelong Vermonter and democrat, I think part of why people here loved Scott so much was because of his emergence around when Trump rose to popularity. A lot of democrats felt really scared that this is what the Republican party looks like now- that being a Republican meant being a trump supporter. Then here comes Scott who says "yes I'm a Republican but I'm one of the good ones." He made so clear so early on that he was anti-trump. I know a lot of democrats who felt really secure and optimistic about the political future because of that.

Nice Saab 99.

Why don’t you think some of that 80% was Republican voters?

Mt. Philo. It’s not in Stowe but it’s an easy drive. The hike to the top is easy and it has a beautiful view of the lake, valley and Adirondacks.

Can confirm, Klar is the worst. Even his own family can’t really defend him.

Should I thank Obama for it ?

I love the green mountain national forest by Somerset reservoir tons of dispersed camping hikes and water to enjou

I bet you’re also the type of person to blame the ACA on Obama.

Somerset Reservoir, beautiful paddle, no motors

I visited Vermont in the 1980’s and in November of 2022. I think it has a reputation as a liberal bastion it doesn’t quite deserve. Either my teenage self didn’t pick up on the situation or things have changed over the decades. During my recent visit, I heard blatantly white supremacist advertising on the radio. The NAACP is worried that Vermont is on the cusp of becoming a white supremacist hotbed and the Southern Poverty Law Center says it has more hate groups per capita than most other states (even more than my current state of Missouri, which is really saying something). No place is immune to this, of course, but still. As an outsider living in a “diverse” city, I think it’s easy for people who haven’t been to Vermont and even for many Vermonters themselves to think the state is filled with bunch of hippie progressives when the reality is Vermonters generally don’t have to deal with the effects of racially-based inequality on a daily basis. Beautiful place, though.

• My city is about 45% White and 45% Black. When the vast majority of the population comes from just 2 ethnicities, it doesn’t seem very “diverse” to me. YMMV
