and the Democratic Party ignores him like he's the Twitter Files. Of all the cults, you are the stupidest.
He was my congressman when I lived in Boulder. A little too much of a climate alarmist for my tastes, but that’s the be expected of a Dem. Pro business, strong record on education and pro weed. Seems like a good dude, too.

He's a liberal, but he's not a partisan hack. He's a practical, independent thinker.
He's a liberal, but he's an old school liberal (meaning he hasn't changed with the Party in the last few years).
He errs on the side of letting voters decide.
He talks about campaign finance and walks the walk by limiting the donor type and number of dollars he'll accept from any one donor.
He's actually solves problems. CO was the one of the first, if not the first, to pass a police reform bill, but it wasn't bat shit crazy like in so many other places. Body cams, additional training, expanding health services, etc. Nothing stupid like limiting choke holds or defunding law enforcement.
Even as a 'climate alarmist,' he has helped positioned Colorado to deal with the potential issues that would face us in the next 50 years. He isn't gutting the states ability to produce energy. He has helped in improving the States water conservation and agricultural positions.
He broke from the party recently by busing migrants out of Colorado and used that to open communication about the Federal governments failure at the border in a way that Republicans were unable to do. It may be coincidence, but about a month after that, the Biden Admin changed there border policy ( or at least said they are going to).
He's putting the kaibosh on the idiotic rent control talk in the state.
He supports practical gun control. He's trying to put the kaibosh on the assault weapons ban that state Dems are pushing.
The way he handled Covid was great. He communicated thoroughly. He supported masking, but masking was not enforced. He got businesses opened back up quickly. He pushed back against vaccine mandates. He tried to get kids back in schools.
I don't know his position on letting teachers talk to small children about sex and allowing them to keep those conversations from parents, but I'd bet dollars to donuts he's against it.
I could probably go on, but I'm just rambling incoherently which isn't good for much to begin with.
