The Colorado Department of State warned that it would be “a matter for the Courts” if the state’s Republican party withdrew from or ignored the results of the primary.

    My comment had almost exactly nothing to do with republicans… I implied they aren’t capable of being reasonable/rational, but the point was really about Dems, and their lack of being reasonable/rational not because they can’t, but because they just decide not to.

    …and I got the downvotes… Didn’t sound like a Democrat, so I must be a repub, because that’s just how Dems work now.

    You seem uncharacteristically reasonable though, so I replied to you just to say that :)

      I think a lot of dems have decided it’s time to play the same game the republicans are playing. A sort of “if they won’t play by the rules, why should we?” mentality.

      I don’t know if I like or agree with that, but I can certainly understand why someone would make that choice. That’s what I was trying to get at with my previous comment.

        Thing is, Dems are playing by the rules. It just feels different because it is different. There’s an actual realization we have to fight for this thing and not just fret and tut-tut.

        I’m so tired of wrung hands being a badge of honor among Democrats. Show me something more than a different flavor of thoughts and prayers. Tell me what you did (congress person).
