I don't really know what to make of that point. It's a thinker for sure, "what responsibility do elected leaders share for collective action?"

It's a good question to think about, regardless of governor Scott

I'm convinced that it's about our history with past figures like George Aiken and Jim Jeffords. We like a Republican who is progressive sometimes.

And frankly I think he deserves a degree of credit for how well the deep pandemic went here; we're a state smack in between Boston and NYC - the first epicenters of COVID-19 in the country, and we have a comparatively old population of folks who could've been really poorly off.

I didn't vote for him this time (did last time), but I'm not surprised at all that he won, and not disappointed either really. I think Brenda would've done better on the housing problems, but whaddya gonna do?
