Truth be told, I haven’t been following politics as of late for my own sanity who is this dude?

Really? I gathered that he is a turd.
There's gotta be a poem in here somewhere.

Yeah, I apologize to all actual ducks out there. Our fine feathered friends deserve better.

This Gerald Malloy is quite absurd
He'll try to get it on with a bird
Any breed he will fuck
Ostrich, eagle, or duck
He is really just a massive turd

A military veteran, business executive and far right extremist. Kinda sad, because the 1st two are important, but someone who doesn't believe in elections has no place in democratic government.

He's also only been in Vermont resident for two years, which I think is pertinent when talking about elected officials. Didn't even live her pre-covid.

Fair - it is odd how little info there is on him. My impression is that Mitch snagged him at some cathouse and yurtled the turtled him into moving and running here.

I just call those signs. I thought you meant like TV or radio ads.

As a veteran myself, we are not that important. Honestly the majority of us are total shitbags.
Divio42 t1_iuhtm3i wrote
Some are cool some are total assholes. More than anything, they are people.
Like cops, a higher percentage of certain personality types may be more prone to joining, however, but I think the police attract more assholes than the military.

I respect your opinion about vets and businessmen, and have no bias against them, but I would disagree that it makes them any better qualified than any other person of the same level of intelligence or ethics. Edit: accidentally wrote “have bias” instead of “have NO bias”. Freudian slip? Anyway, fixed it :)

I'd rather not have business executives be my politicians. Also you cant really have the first two without the third in my experiences lol.
raincntry t1_iuhgbsw wrote
He is a guy who lives in Maryland and is a defense contractor. He looked around to see if there were any states that would not have an incumbent Senator up for reelection in 2022 and moved there to run. He's a carpetbagging elitist who wants to use power to steer money to himself and his cronies.
ovscrider t1_iuia87l wrote
So he's Vermont's Hillary Clinton and Dr Oz? Hopefully there will be a different outcome than in NY because IMO unless you lived in a state for a decade + you don't know the needs and wants of the electorate and even though it's forgotten it's the politicians job to represent the citizens not the RNC DNC or any party leader.

I mean he won’t, but I’d like to hear the answer.

That's not so bad.... I get texts from NY, California, and VT.
My cell phone number I've had for years. I lived in Northern NY State, so I have a 518 area code. Then I lived in California for a couple years, and finally moved back East and settled in VT.
I just block all of them when I get texts. I'm sick of all of them. I feel 98.5% of politicians are just crappy people. And I absolutely hate the politicking that goes on and on, seemingly unstopping, just continuing on from one election year to the next.
obiwanjabroni420 t1_iui6e9o wrote
I get texts from every race in the country it seems like. My wife donated to Bernie during the last presidential election, and now I’m getting constant spam texts from every progressive democrat around the country asking me to donate and telling me it’s the “most important election ever”. I text back every single one to stop receiving texts, but they all come from different numbers so there’s no end to it. I really wish I knew how to take my number off whatever list it’s on, but I have a feeling that’s not possible.
CrispyApparition3568 t1_iuif4fe wrote
Yeah. I tried the reply with STOP, but it never works. As you said, they come from different, random numbers, sometimes repeats. Now I just block every single one if them, so at least I'm avoiding the repeats.
whaletacochamp t1_iuiyzno wrote
My phone number is a number you would easily make up if trying to make a fake phone number. The result is that two people in VT use my number for all kinds of shit and I get all kinds of texts targeted at them. Well apparently someone in Minnesota has started using it too as well as PA because I get no fewer than 3 MN/PA political texts per day.

I had HughesNet for awhile - I would get all kinds of crazy ads. Mostly for Arizona candidates for whatever reason. Starlink is doing a bit better.

He's a leaf-peeper from Baltimore that got lost here a year and a half ago. He plugged "Baltimore" into his GPS and it took him to Baltimore, Vermont, so he just threw in the towel and bought a house nearby.
Why he's running for office now is beyond me, though.

Far right wingnut receiving some serious funding.
He has thousands of signs on the roadsides around chittenden. Like it gets to the point where he will surround one political sign with like 20 of his. Suspiciously none of them are ever in actual peoples lawns. He also spams text adds constantly.

immutable_truth t1_iugncx6 wrote
Lmao perfect example of how this sub is making this guy more relevant. You would never have asked this question if people weren’t rage posting about him nonstop.
All you need to know is he is a far right Republican who stands a snowballs chance in hell of winning a Vermont senate seat.
Understand that people in this state don’t have a hell of a lot to be outraged about, but they desperately want to feed their persecution fetish. So they have used Malloy as a means to this end.
It’s the equivalent of mainstream news making a story about a random tweet. In the end, it’s irrelevant and just serves as an outrage lightning rod.
B1gredmachine t1_iuhf5df wrote
Dude is running for office. That makes him relevant. His signs make him relevant. Stop pretending otherwise.
Past that, it's up to us to make sure everyone knows he's a deplorable Jan 6th carpetbagger.
Twombls t1_iui772p wrote
Remember when we said the same thing about trump.
Id rather have people on thid sub actually be educated about why this guy is a shitbag than someone accidentally filling in his bubble on the ballot because they saw he had the most signs. (A surprisingly common occurrence in local elections)
immutable_truth t1_iuiat6o wrote
I don’t think much educating is taking place haha. Most posts are complaining about his signage and suggesting he wants to fuck eagles.
I don’t think someone is going to vote for him bc this sub is putting his name out there - I just hate the wasted energy in even worrying about this guy.
stinking_badgers t1_iuig7fu wrote
I mean, he’s the Republican nominee. That didn’t happen because of the Vermont subreddit. If some people on here get educated about him that’s a positive.
