Why?

He's an alt right internet troll who overuses pepe and kek. The worst of the Internet

He's not alt-right, I think he's Libertarian

He acts like he is

I agree.

No. He has the right to make those statements. They're not impeachable and they're not resignation worthy. We've all had our bills criticized. It's not a big deal. Learn, and move on

If you get upset about a comment about your bill, you need to get some thick skin and just ignore it. Not that hard people.

I have a bill coming up that says is approval rating is below 2.0 weighted average there will a vote to remove them from power. Ethan is far past that, he has been making the VC a more hostile place.

Some people need to stop acting like babies.

Of course people should be able to criticize bills, but attacking a new member of congress as the Vice President, and making him quit. Is not appropriate for a VP, especially since he won't even apologise.

If he chooses to quit over criticism, that's nobody's fault except his own

That's true, but our leaders should be kind to all members especially new members

Disagree with you Buffalo. It reflects very poorly overall, the free speech copout shouldn't apply to those who are supposed to be leading.

"Attacking." Lol. If someone said what Ethan said to me, I would challenge him and talk about it in more detail. He gave up with no decent reply. Whos fault is it that he can't take criticism?

What you would do doesn't matter. It's about that our leaders should be nice to new members! This is why VC can't grow because everybody's too harsh and rude to each other. You Know that it is wrong, but you defend him because your a libertarian, you voted for him, and your probably friends with him. I can understand thinking that it's not enough for resignation, but if you don't think it's wrong at all, then you are part of the reason of why we can't get new members and why people are leaving!

People being harsh on a political game... Okay...? I haven't talked personally with Ethan for a while, party affiliation has nothing to do with this, if a democrat did this, I would still say the same things I've said tonight. Resigning over voicing his opinion is fucking stupid, not his fault Kek can't take it and decided to leave.

Thanks for swearing at me, let's keep this civil. And you seem to have missed my point, that even if you think it's not deserving of resignation, our leaders should be nice to all members and especially new members it's just nice to be civil and kind.

That's your opinion. My opinion is that you should be able to say what you want. I want thoughts to be transparent, and if that involves criticism, then it's fine with me. If someone can't take it, it's there fault.

If course you should be able to say what you want, but our leaders should be kind, and not belittle people.

I'd hope you understand I didn't leave on those grounds alone. It only further confirmed my suspicions that the VC is a closed community, for the administration; by the administration.
And I think I made it clear below that I intended to try again but the civility in VC broke down throughout that week so I stepped away to think about it.

Awwww... poor baby. Boo hoo! Ethan hurt your feelings. And they call liberals snowflakes...

I don't think I can further push the point that this wasn't why I left, just a reflection on how I view the administration and how I think it views dissenters.
I also don't use the term snowflake.

I know that wasn't the main reason you left, it's just altogether the negative environment on VC, that neghnator has just confirmed. I'm very tired of seeing this rudeness from everybody, I'm in talks with Ethan right now I think things will change.

I appreciate that Carcano. This was something I decided about a week ago. I figured I'd step away and decide later. This is my decision for now. Like I said, I continue to follow VC Breaking News, and the recent continued controversy has solidified my position. I have enough stress following real life politics. Matthew is a weak president that allows outsiders and his own administration to hold public contempt for others. This is not something I care to be a part of, at least for now.

Thank you MrAmerica. I enjoyed the experience.

Nobody fits in that's not in Collin Mathews little circle of loyalists

They choose what bills get passed, who does what job and they win every election because everyone else quits

He promised me a Supreme Court nomination. It has never happened. Apparently he wants to avoid a conservative majority on the court. Everything is being manipulated.

@CollinMatthew - I made the above comment without first coming to you with my complaint. That was wrong, and I apologize. I am not part of any group that wants you out of office - I voted Republican in the last election, but you are President, and you have my support.
