@BringBack_Chief@leftisntliberal@LVpolitic Assuming that screenshot is true, you make a good point. Thank you.
Doesn't really give me extra confidence in the system, but at least it doesn't seem biased.
@data_republican@RealJamesWoods They owe favors and/or are being blackmailed, are also valid reasons.
The only thing for sure is, they must be voted out.
@BringBack_Chief@leftisntliberal@LVpolitic Genuinely asking: Did this ever happen in a republican's favor? An update to vote tallies where a republican received 20,000 or more votes and the other candidate received zero?
I watched both @9NEWS governor debates so you don’t have to.
And wow.
The Republican debate felt like an episode of Law & Order.
The Democrat debate felt like a graduate-level public policy class sponsored by NPR and organic coffee.
Republicans got questions like:
“Let’s discuss every controversial thing you’ve ever said, done, liked, reposted, thought about, or may potentially do sometime before the year 2042.”
Democrats got:
“Can you elaborate further on your housing affordability framework?”
At one point I was waiting for @KyleClark to ask @SenatorBennet and @pweiser whether they preferred sparkling or still water before moving into a discussion on childcare subsidies.
Now, to be fair, both Democrats got challenged.
Bennet took heat over:
• Leaving the Senate
• His Trump cabinet votes
• Who he’d appoint to replace himself
• ICE funding
Weiser took heat over:
• His lawsuits
• His first Trump term record
• Campaign donations
• Whether he governs through litigation
Those are legitimate questions.
But here’s what stood out:
The Republican debate largely focused on the candidates.
The Democrat debate largely focused on governing.
Republicans spent much of the night explaining themselves.
Democrats spent much of the night explaining policy.
One debate was:
“Why should voters trust you?”
The other was:
“Walk us through your implementation strategy.”
One felt like a cross-examination.
The other felt like a dissertation defense.
And before someone says, “Well maybe the Democrats just had better answers…”
That’s not the point.
The point is the questions weren’t the same.
If you’re moderating a governor’s debate, every candidate should be getting grilled on affordability, housing, crime, water, transportation, energy, healthcare, and education.
Not one side getting a political root canal while the other gets a policy workshop.
The funniest part?
The Democrats actually had disagreements worth exploring.
TABOR.
Labor policy.
Healthcare.
Business regulations.
ICE.
Housing.
Yet somehow I learned more about Republican personalities from their debate and more about Democrat policies from theirs.
Almost like the candidates were being viewed through two entirely different lenses.
Weird.
Maybe it’s just one of those incredible coincidences.
Like government finishing a construction project on time.
Or X users reading an article before commenting on it.
Or your ex suddenly reaching out because they “just wanted to see how you’re doing.”
Totally possible.
Anyway, if Colorado voters are going to pick the next governor, maybe everyone should get the same debate format.
Crazy idea, I know.

@EndWokeness Why bother to helicopter ballots in if they are just going to sit there and be counted at a snails pace?
Cuz a dem doner runs the helicopter company most likely.
@spencersoicher@nexton9news This wouldn't even be a thought process if crime and homelessness were under control (like they've previously been in the past).
@denverbitcoin@UNGeneva@antonioguterres No, in reality, they know they can't. The just want to use guilt as a tool for money and power.
Bleeding heart retards fall for it.
Senate tells 80% of Americans to F*CK OFF!
REJECTING the SAVE America Act as part of budget reconciliation, 48-50 — would’ve required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide.
REPUBLICAN NAYS: Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins.

Western civilization rests on three pillars:
1. Greek reason
2. Roman law
3. Christian moral order
All three are being demolished at the same time, and the chaos you feel is the predictable downstream effect of pulling out the load-bearing structures of your own house.
Nick Shirley just delivered the perfect response when Rob Finnerty asked him how he plans to get around the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” — that could slap him with $4000 fines for filming fraud in California.
FINNERTY: “Let me ask you, how are you going to get around this if you're in California, if you can't post video of these places, how do you expose this stuff? Because the video is what kind of makes it.”
SHIRLEY: “Yeah, I'll just do it anyways.”
“I mean, literally it's a violation of First Amendment anyways.”
“So I think...I think a lot of people would be supportive of me if I were to get a $4,000 fine.”
American is a driver for the nonprofit Meals on Wheels that gets funding from government
It gets over $700 million in funding per year
The driver shows the food he’s about to deliver to a needy senior citizen. It’s so disgusting looking he just gets him Popeyes chicken instead so he doesn’t have to eat it
Now don’t get me wrong, I am 100% for programs like this that help seniors get the food that they need
However, look at the food….
I was able to find that many of the frozen and prepackaged meals are commonly ultra-processed and often include industrial additives, thickeners and preservatives
There needs to be better standards
