If there is one thing that I have learned about #politics from my involvement in politics as an elected and appointed official in #Vermont, it's that the most stark distinction between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives almost invariably presume to speak for everyone, and liberals are almost always careful not to pretend they speak for others.
Conservativism values conformity; Liberalism values diversity.
#Vermont is in the middle of the #ClimateCrisis. The future is here, the #ClimateCatastrophe destruction is happening even as I write this. #VT is out of time for debate.
I hate the idea of bailing out people who made bad choices, but political expedience now wins out. We will all benefit immeasurably in the end.
We're bickering over #Act250 #Act18, arguing school consolidation and broadband up #flooding dirt roads when the #ClimateCataclysm is literally upon us.
