Reply to comment by HeadPen5724 in School choice bills aim to deny private schools public money by casewood123
I thought a Supreme Court decision last year made it so the State has to fund all private school or none? Isn’t that the point of this bill?

Reply to comment by Commercial_Case_7475 in Colchester Historical Society remembers the 'Buffalo Soldiers' of Fort Ethan Allen by RamaSchneider
My understanding was the black soldiers were forced to go fight the Lakota and other tribes, and it was the indigenous people that can up with the name Buffalo soldiers because of the dreadlocks they grew. This could just be a Rasta myth version though.

You keep trying to construct this strawman, that if only he looked different he would be applauded. But, no. It’s a bad idea, one that wouldn’t help. One that been tried and has failed.
Police reform is not some new idea, I have been reading books about it, listening to activists and progressive DA’s discuss these ideas for at least 20 years now. You clearly have not looked into this movement very closely and seem more interested in defending some strawman persecution fetish, but go read a book. Listen to a podcast, watch a documentary.

This is such a sad trend in American political discourse. Just because he didn’t say the word “segregation” doesn’t mean that not what he was talking about. He described segregation of police responsibilities based on assumed race of perpetrator and/or victim. These word games are so pathetic, such a waste of time.

Disappointing to see this here. Amazing how terrified these cowards let themselves become, anything the talkheads say they swallow and spread like a virus.

Russia and China are not global military empires, only the U.S. has dozens of bases in dozens of countries.

Reply to comment by Rare_Message_7204 in Yeah, that's what they'll say, but watch what they do ... by RamaSchneider
That rhetoric is just normalized irresponsibility. Saying both parties are the same is lazy nonsense, just say “I am not brave enough to take a stand”
And this isn’t some praise of the Democratic Party, plenty to criticize from them, but saying they are both the same is lazy bullshit.

Well I am glad you are fine with the political situation in Vermont and America.
I think lots of reform is needed, this is a great step in the right direction.

Excellent idea to get away from “first past the post” system. It’s the best way to break the 2 party system.
And not really any downsides.
Check out Irish election system, really awesome how they operate.

Reply to "Dogspam" by pv_punisher
Out of all the pollution I see, nothing aggravates me quite as much as plastic bags full of dog poop littered in the woods.
You should clean up after your dog, but why put it in a bag if you just going to litter?
