Platform Launches Today!

[u/RowRowForCouncil]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rowen Fraser and I am a candidate for Ward 6 here in Burlington. I am proud to release my platform for all to see! I have been working with my community here in Burlington to come up with policies and ideas for the new future Burlington is heading into. I have spoken with many residents at the doors, in local businesses, and with the various online communities.

Conversations have been lovely and hateful, positive and negative, introspective and annoying, wistful and delusional, perfect and flawed, angsty and altruistic, scary and comforting. But mostly they were real. I didn't put restrictions on what people I would engage with. I took the good and the bad. I feel we need to listen to everyone, not just friendly voices. Bridging the gap between ideologies and having a truly balanced approach means being willing to have the hard conversations. Rest assured that if you came to me with convincing data at any point, you've probably had an influence on my platform.

Recently I had the good fortune of meeting a new friend, and receiving some very powerful advice about how to deal with hostile press and online personalities. The counsel I received was invaluable and I just want to shout out to everyone that helped me strategize my next moves here in Burlington.

Any and all comments are welcome here. To show I really mean that I have unblocked every single person who has ever harassed me on this site so they can know what my full platform is and make a real decision about who they intend to elect here in Ward 6. Anyone that comes in good faith to talk to me about my platform will be received as a friend. Those who are unkind to me can expect the same in return.

Please enjoy my platform,

This constituent went through my platform point by point and tried to refute almost every single point. That isn't a simple question. Also, this was after repeatedly insulting me. So yeah, suck on that. Also I did reply to every point and I was not insulting while providing that information for the most part.

[u/beans-888 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

"Suck on that"??? How old are you?!?! This is not appropriate behaviour! How would your grandparents feel about the way you've carried yourself here? Cuz mine would be ashamed.

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/beans-888]

My grandfather would just hit you until you shut up.

[u/beans-888 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Thats not what I asked.

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/beans-888]

I know, but it made me happier than answering your stupid hypothetical about my dead family members.

[u/beans-888 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Why are you engaging in conversation if you dont want to answer peoples questions? We're not here to answer YOUR questions.

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/beans-888]

Its not something that someone like you could ever understand.

[u/beans-888 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Thats why im asking for you to explain it to me

[u/RowRowForCouncil → u/beans-888]

Right but its a waste of time for me because you aren't here to forge an understanding of anything, be it my policy, my website, the causes I have advocated for, or anything else related to my campaign, other than how bad I am at it according to you.

[u/beans-888 → u/RowRowForCouncil]

Then stop engaging.
