ckf Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The “Most Interesting Man in the World” is trying to make voting more interesting before the election. Our Ike Bendavid catches up with the former actor and current Vermonter. “I think we can all agree that 2020 has been interesting,” said Jonathon Goldsmith. On TV and online across the Green Mountain State, the Vermonter and former Dos Equis beer pitchman, has an interesting message of his own. “Anything to get people to get out and get the vote in.” Goldsmith, known for his role as the “Most Interesting Man in the World” ads, has been living in Vermont for the past decade. This fall, he partnered with the Vermont Secretary of State for a PSA on voting. Video can be seen at this link. https://www.wcax.com/2020/10/20/the-most-interesting-man-urges-vermonters-to-vote-early/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless she's going to listen to me. She has no idea really of the issues and the consequence of votes, there should be a test required for peoples votes to count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not how it works and your daughter should vote they way she wants,not what you want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young ones need to know and see the result of their actions whether good or bad. My son voted in our last federal election up here, when he was 18, and his views/beliefs were different from my wife's and me but he did ask questions and got educated to the best of his abilities at the time and he voted. I am pretty sure which way he voted, which made me happy, but I still don't know 100% as he didn't tell us nor did he need to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO college kids living off their parents tits and people who have no clue about the issue should not be voting. Easy to be a raging liberal on someone else's dime. If she had a clue about the issues I would have no issue with her voting, I've asked her to explain her positions and why she has them and she's not capable of that. We don't need tik tok led voters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one of them in the house right now. 18 and never had to live a day yet in the real world. She ain't ready yet, but I do see Irv and ticker's point of view as well.

J. Jackson Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 As far as the presidential vote it's a foregone conclusion Vt's 3 electoral votes will go to the guy that proclaimed his love for Vermont while campaigning in Keene, NH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was down to Barry's last week he was bitching about today's youth getting taught by a bunch of liberals on how to be a good little liberal, lol It was a bit of a rant, if you know what I mean 54 minutes ago, J.

NH will probably go that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Shaheen, Kuster or Pappas lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Politics has become so intense in 2020, we know of someone ( lady in her late 60's ) that her boy-friend broke up with her, because they were politically opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
