What's the deal with Vermont?

[War on Want]

Vermont really isn't that confusing to me. It is a cultural thing, the Republicans position wise have shifted as well to the point where not much is politically popular there either but Vermont strikes me as one of those states that hates anything theocratic/populist and also hates anything southern. The GOP has become the party of all those things, while the Democrats have become very favorable on social issues and somewhat favorable on economic issues.

Oh and everything Verily said is right too, the WASP's in Vermont fled Christianity in large numbers as well so basically there is absolutley no appeal in the Republican Party. I am pretty sure that the WASP's used to be more conservative economically than this but Clinton and the DLC definitley made the Democrats more appealing to a townies.

Vermont strikes me as being a fiercely independent state with a strong tolerance for alternative lifestyles. I get the impression that New England states such as VT, NH, and ME vote democrat much more because they believe the democrats will interfere less in their personal lives than the GOP.

I get that feeling too.  I also believe it has to do with Vermont not really knowing diversity or poverty.  They seem to think that communism can work because they one large homogenous blob of middle-class white people.  If they had areas that differed, those areas would be liberal but the rest of the state would shift to being more conservative

Is that a joke? No one in Vermont is even close to being communistic.

For a state that is proud to have Ben & Jerry's as their native sons and Bernie Sanders as their senators, the fact you could claim they do not have communistic tendicies is absurd

Yo penisface do you know what Social Democracy is and why the upper middle class might support that but never communism?

Just because Vermont is not a communist state does not mean it does not have communist ideals.  Geez people really need to get a clue

Did your parents run over your head when you were a baby? Nothing Vermont has ever supported has even been remotley communistic. Nothing. Maybe there is some slight socialism in some of their politics but even then I highly doubt that more than 10% of people in Vermont think that way.

OMG GUYZ SO COMMUNIST:
