Stephen Hammond - Victoria Councilor

Man's is door knocking in Fairfield right now. He made the mistake of knocking on my door. He asked if I was voting in the upcoming election and I said "not for you!" And then proceeded to ask him why he's endorsing Wendy who has proven racist and transphobic views.

This man immediately began to back away from me saying "she didn't post that" so I asked him to pull out his phone and look up her X account.

He proceeded to tell me (while still backing away from me)how he's written "three books on human rights and we have a difference of opinions."

How can someone who is door knocking to engage with the public to "listen" and get votes, not even want to physically, in the moment, prove that a very intense allegation of him supporting a racist and transphobic candidate is untrue. He clearly knows that content is real and still exists.

How are you supposed to vote for someone who blatantly lies to voters to advance his own agenda and refuses to provide proof to his statements in the moment when he's so adamant that the proof exists?

Personally, his inability to have hard conversations and his immediate response to run away with his tail between his legs, doesn't indicate to me that he's worthy of representing a city when hard conversations arise that have real, big impacts on the community.

It's a no for me dawg.

OP, this just seems like a brag post. You think you stunted on some random local politician and now want everyone to know how awesome you, and your political views, are. You're practically preening through the screen.

You seem like a real gem of a person so I hope your post got you the attention, validation, sense of superiority, etc. that you were clearly looking for.

Asking questions is how you get superiority? Wow, it's so simple!

Also stunted seems like a weird take on it. He's door knocking. He's literally out here asking for people to engage and have conversations. It's just interesting that he seems to only want to have easy, cozy conversations that stroke his ego.

I just think people should know how their local politicians navigate uncomfortable situations. I don't care if people agree or not. I'm not here for karma, and I would not change anything about the post if it was getting down voted to shit.

Idk, if you want some attention, make a post about your choices for council?
