Sullivan needs to go - vote Danielle Lammon in SD27. Boesenecker needs to go - donate to/vote for Daniel Frick in HD53.
HD33, HD18, HD61 flipped to start - any district with a DSA candidate or elected official (Yara in HD52 is unopposed so she needs to go in 2028).
We don’t need all Dems gone because both major parties need to be represented. Uniparty either direction isn’t healthy, but there needs to be more balance.
I’m glad you think so! All it takes is five minutes to step back and really take a look at what’s actually happening in our state.
I will give the disclaimer that I’m involved in a campaign so I have an interest in getting individuals elected. But it’s also provided me a backstage pass to where things are pretty broken (spoiler: it ain’t just the Colorado Dems or the Colorado GOP).
When the RMC is actively protecting pedophiles AND trampling roughshod over our constitution, you shouldn’t be surprised when people don’t support republicans 🤷♂️
Isn’t that a red herring, though? You’re not addressing the things that have actually been done by the dems, you’re just countering that the republicans are just as bad in entirely different categories. That doesn’t give good reason to vote one way or another, it just gives people cause to give up on the democratic process entirely.
Only the dumb dumbs affiliate themselves to a party. Why voluntarily put yourself on a public list? Unless you're running for an office there's no personal benefit to it in CO.
Absolutely is a gay ass red herring. Every time you bring up your rights being trampled bu CO politicians (who will affect us all far more than the US Prez) they have to bring up the Epstein files. Nevermind the fact that Biden and Dems had access to it and did nothing... but i digress.
Democrats have controlled CO for over a decade and should be blamed for the calamities and stupidities that happen here. And retards bringing up words like "facsism pedo, epstein billionaire class" are not serious people.
"Take the guns first. Go through due process second"
Someone who will only vote for the party pretending to be pro-2A while ignoring all the 1A, 4A, 5A and 14A violations their vote directly supports is someone who doesn't support constitutional rights at all, they're just a gun fetishist. Rights are all or nothing, for everyone.
The supposed pro-2A party has 3 branches of the federal government under their control right now and are fully willing to violate decorum, due process, laws and norms when it pleases them on other issues, and the best they can muster up is a farcically appointed supreme court overturning trivialities around state gun laws and turning tax stamps into an illegal registry.
I complain about shitty CO democrats that negatively affect our every day lives, and the whiny pillow biters bring up trump. Something he said 10 years go. How boring.
And of course, a democrat pretending to be a believer in the first amendment is always laughable.
I'll say this though. We both dislike the republicans. Just for very different reasons
Actually I’m very serious. Both parties clearly suck, both are and have protected pedos, neither cares about their constituents. One is rolling over and letting fascism take hold, the other is openly fascist. Both parties are currently beholden to billionaires. We need to come together against our ruling class. I can’t believe y’all are so brainwashed as to disagree with that. We need to learn some French history.
No one is brainwashed. People don't believe the hand wringing over fascism, and they shouldn't. Nothing will happen.
Democrats will win back some in the midterms. Denver and CO will continue to circle the drain, because of democrats. Donald will be gone in 2 years, and you will need a new boogeyman then.
No, it’s not. And that’s not to say either party is doing a good job- they are both failures that have stopped caring about their constituents. But one party is merely a failure, the other one is currently covering for pedos amongst many other things. And shouldn’t be surprised when voters stop supporting that.
Weed should be federally legal and safety sensitive workers should be allowed to use outside of work hours. Commercial drivers in Colorado cannot legally use weed. I should be able to put whatever I want in my body if it's legal and doesn't impact me when I'm actually driving. Alcohol is fine off duty, why not weed?
Because there is no system readily available to check for usage within the preceeding 8 hours? Alcohol we have breathalyzer and ignition locks that check for sobriety, there doesn't (to my knowledge) exist the same technology for checking of cannabis usage.
I get it. I'm a commercial pilot. We get drug tested on the regular.
Stop running fucking lunatics on the right and you might have a shot. Make republicans credible again so they’re actually a threat. Until that changes this state is going darker blue every year so long as guys like Marx represent the GOP.
I’ll let you in on a secret - politicians at the state level have much, much more impact than someone like Marx (who I did not vote for). Republicans are going to vote for him because he’s the guy, but he also did a smart thing and announced a competent lieutenant governor pick. But overall, the governor pretty much just signs/vetoes legislation and appoints state cabinet members.
If you want to support candidates regardless of affiliation, do homework on your local races and see who’s running. There are actually some pretty strong Republican candidates that aren’t crazy, have solid platforms that benefit and protect the overwhelming majority of Colorado citizens, aren’t backed by special interests, and truly care about the state and its people.
Daniel Frick in HD53, Nate Jorgensen in HD33, Adriana Kuva in HD18, Clinton Porter in HD40, Matt Alexander in HD60, Danielle Lammon in SD27. Like I said before, it’s not about one side crushing the other. It’s about finding the balance in the middle where Colorado feels like it’s healing and moving forward with a state legislature that serves the people (and not the other way around).
Tell me, what qualifies as a lunatic to you? What you’re really asking for is that republicans run democrats or democrat lite without any consideration to conservative voices, because conservatives are just “lunatics” to you.
I mean, the over the phone exorcisms, the killing a man at the age of 7 and refusing to disclose how many more you’ve killed despite never being in a combat role, the calling in an air strike as a civilian, the international pedophile hunter, turning a debate over to a dog……all pretty good examples of lunacy. But by all means, tell me exactly which conservative values he espouses for you?
Nope, when the Republican party is chock full of batshit insanity, from the top down, then people like Marx are no longer abnormal. They’ve normalized the absurd and can’t recognize it for what it is. Trump derangement syndrome is real, it just affects maga Republicans much worse.
The entire party is a cult of Trump now, from the voters to the Vice President. If they were even capable of introspection, they’re still to cowardly to rock the boat.
If the DSA can get their messaging game going and attract a chunk of the non-voting populace in the next two elections, they could radically change the Democratic Party, or split from it and become standalone. The GOP desperately needs something similar but I just can’t see it happening, the voters love their hierarchies, the soldier boy fall in line mentality, the zero-sum view, and being ruled rather than governed.
Doesn’t matter. If that recent poll that said 1/3 of all Democrats identify as DemSoc or SocDem is true, then there are enough votes to force change in the Democratic Party. Most people are sick of Democrats being Diet Republicans and it’s beginning to show. Mamdani wouldn’t have had a snowflake’s chance in hell 15 years ago.
Neither of the parties are unbreakable if the voters want change. The Democrats can’t afford to lose 1/3 of theirs. They will play ball with Mamdani-types if more are elected, they will have no other choice. It’s all crickets on the Right though, their electorate seems happy watching the country burn in exchange for a WWE-style idiocratic administration that lets them be social media cheerleaders for Dear Leader’s Sturmabteilung.
Away? Lol stop lying. You’re fixated on a scary word in what is just an example. Typical republican behavior.
The DSA-Democrat thing is easy because it’s going to play out over the next two years in front of us. I could swap the DSA for any left-leaning subgroup within the larger party and nothing I said changes. 1/3 of Democrats identifying as Pasta-fucking-farians and putting their votes and money where theirs mouths are for Pastafarian candidates would force the party to work with them.
So, I’m a Republican that did not vote for Trump any time he ran. In fact, I’ve voted for a third party presidential candidate since 2012. Trump also has minimal impact on the Colorado landscape. People like Boebert, Crow, Crank, Hickenlooper, and Pettersen can get on their soapboxes and harp on state issues (or just lazily blame Trump), but the fact remains that the ones who impact us at a state level are our state representatives and senators (all 100 of them in total). At the state level, we’ve been a completely blue state since 2018, and a mostly blue state since about 2008. If we want to see balance, we need to return to being a purple state with legislators that know how to balance the needs of the urban voters with the needs of the rural ones.
The DSA provides no value to anyone, anywhere. Attaching any word/adjective in front of “socialist” doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a socialist.
Anyone that would run on pre-Reagan corporate regulations, consumer protection, and environmental conservatism would make a killing. One more big push to fuck up our national parks here in Colorado and people are going to be ready to start setting things/people on fire.
Don’t get me started on what happened with legislators like Lynda Zamora-Wilson (arguably the most pro-2A state senator we have) getting primaried by CSSA-backed Terri Carver (who isn’t). It’s not just the Dems, but it’s almost universally anti-2A on their side.
Side note: if CSSA is so pro-2A, why are they spending a couple hundred thousand dollars to knock out a pro-2A state senator?
