“When I was young it seemed like that people who moved here, moved here because they loved it here and they embraced our values and our heritage, and didn’t want to change them,” he said. “It seems now like we’ve been overpopulated by people for different reasons and aim to take much of that away.”
NRA member Traditionalist democrat
Last of the Blue Dogs?
Then why the hell is he a democrat?
Oh that's right he supports obamacare... and government involvement in the economy in the same manner the democrats do...
many areas are one party control
Regardless of your actual view on the issues you have to run in that party to win
@V-NAF_Aardist Vermont has gone down the drainpipe, move to NH or Maine
We need a one party system.. fucking democrats keep running
ik
it needs to stop
One party wtf
We need more parties
And of course one of the main parties keep running
We need no parties
@Da_Fish As an actual resident of Vermont, I disagree
Where are you from? I just want to know so I can tell you its not worth saving
Vermont has a rich history and a vibrant culture and land. Many of our left-wingers, though perhaps misguided, have a strong connection to Vermont and her well-being. Furthermore, many of our multi-generational left-wingers are pro-gun. What's more, all of us appreciate an agrarian lifestyle and are proud of our banishment of the Mormons in the 1800s. Vermont used to be its own country, and it was founded due to radical militia activity that slowly liberated every town in the region. We are the only producers of Cabot and Grafton cheese, something thats quite popular in the north-east, and if we were to secede and market it right, even more popular. We're also ethnically pretty homogeneous and focused on many of the same issues regardless of political leanings.
@everyone Daily Question 🔖 book
Which is more valuable to you? A high skilled and well educated immigrant or an immigrant who is like minded and similar in thought to your countrymen?
High skilled
>immigrant
>valuable
give me a break
Well educated
Islam will take care of the diversity issue
an immigrant that leaves again is the most valuable of all immigrants
Tough question tho
U know we can derive value from them in their own country
Via trade
trade is gay tho
Ok
The latter option implies the immigrant will be more likely to integrate than the former?
it's hard to give an accurate answer because we don't know how different the highly skilled and educated immigrant is from you and your country's culture and traditions, and we don't know how low skilled the immigrant that is like like minded and similar to you is
Yes, let's phrase it this way:
Would you rather have an Anglo immigrate to America or a well educated German move there?
a skilled immigrant obviously
I'd stick to the German
long term he will be more useful
if he's willing to help the nation that is
I'd rather have the Anglo
Bcause he is more like me
America is no longer anglo
