Probably the most unpopular opinion on this page, but can we stop giving this guy so much attention?

Seriously. I live in Orange County and I have heard more about this guy (I’m so sure it’s objective opinion too. Lol) on Vermont Reddit than from anywhere else. I’ve seen some signs, but that’s it. No ads. (I don’t watch tv. All the political ads I see are on Youtube mainly) No mailings. Nothing. But all the attention here has me thinking of looking him up to see what all the attention is for. Something I wouldn’t have been inclined to do if not for this sub.

In the burlington area you cant avoid this dude. Which is why there are so many memes.

Weird. Never seen the eastern part of the state ignored like this. Unless is was by the state government….

Your implication that all the attention here warms people up to Malloy’s message is far-fetched and deserving of ridicule.

Malloy: polling at 28%

This sub: posting at 90%

People need their outrage drug

Bad attention is better than no attention.

Seems like a dozens posts a day about it. Kinda done with tbh.

I'm sure reddit of all platforms isn't gonna sway unsure voters.

No shit. While people here laugh.. There is a reason Vt'ers are stomping for this guy...People tend to over correct. VT has seen a massive rise in progressive politics in our dense areas, especially Chittenden County.. This guy is the over correction. We need to pull back a bit but giving this guy more attention isn't the way...

It’s The Internets. It’s a dunking contest. We can’t send the cretins back to the woodwork but we can easily tag and rag.

Honestly. Malloy is past the point of being ignored since his signs and text spamming are so omnipresent in chittenden county. Being ignored but an omnipresent name seems to be what hes banking on. Hes suspiciously quiet about his views and all background information about himself. He really seems to be banking on the type of uninformed votor that just fills in the bubble that they see the most signs for.

He also does have a ton of reddit bot schill accounts that come into any post about him. And the pro malloy accounts suspiciously always post "just ignore him" on any anti malloy post.
