    Very disappointed in Colorado voters (and the subsequent Representatives)

    With 9 out of 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto having already been accomplished in our Grandparents through our own lifetimes, I would argue that we are currently living in a Communist regime with lip service paid to the vestigial remains of a Constitutional Republican form of government that is publicly referred to as a ?Democracy?.

    Never forget that both the Left Wing and the Right Wing are flapping on the same stupid dragon.

    Agreed.

    The US and Colorado are constitutional republics with democratic institutions.

    The quote was written over 200 years ago by a man on a different continent, when our colonies were still part of England.

    He was a historian of Rome and Greece. His quote was an observation of Rome as it transitioned from a republic to monarchy and the peril of democracy, even a representative one such as ours.

    Dammit.

    It looks like the massive influx of Californians and other Democrats sure worked.

    As to the school lunch program, I wonder how quick the kids will be eating crickets and lab-grown meats.

    Not for you Colorado hippies!

    There's plenty of room in Oklahoma for good, conservative people. Statistics from the Oklahoma State Election Board showed an increase of over 114,000 while the number of registered democrats decreased by over 41,000. Oklahoma is solidly red and looks to stay that way for a long time. I'm OK with that. I love it here.

    JeffCo voted in a Dem sheriff who no one heard of because she hardly even campaigned. Even people inside JeffCo gov all believed Ed would win. Nope. JeffCo is as solid blue as a county can be. What a rapid change from 10 years ago.

    I think we should take party affiliation OFF of ballots. Either do your research before you vote or risk checking the box for the party you don't like because you're ignorant of who the candidates are.
