  Just remember, it’s not D vs R, it’s rich vs poor.

  He’s just trying to KEEP it that way.

    Since the emancipation of the N******, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

      I feel like in historical context it’s unnecessary to censor the word Negroes, even though it’s no longer acceptable. I actually looked up the article you quoted to make sure Vlady wasn’t dropping hard R’s, since you kind of never know.

      However that could be the type of buried white privilege similar to thinking it’d be fun to travel back in time to see history in person is, and am open to correction. Just seems like the term wasn’t being used with hate like the N word absolutely always was and is.

    The real lesson is absolutely anyone can put a D by their name…

    Even if not a politician, trump gave so much money to the Clinton’s they came to one of his weddings. He was a Dem “power donor” for decades.

    Anytime people just care about the letter by a name we’re fucked.

    But people are really opposed to critical thinking and really love easy binary labels.

      Life should be easy. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

      I’m confused why someone with enough money to make them puke wants make it difficult for ME.

    I’ve seen it said quite nicely elsewhere on the Internet: It’s not Red vs Blue, it’s billionaires vs you. Act accordingly.

      I envy the wordsmiths. Such elegant words. They should get some credibility. Maybe a Poetic License?

  Polis is a big-time big-tech ball-licker. I hope Coloradans send him packing.

    Don’t have to do anything to send him packing. He’s term limited and done after this year.

      His “replacement” will be worse.

      Politicians were supposed to be the people’s union and protect the “little man”. Greed took control. Look at what greed does.

    His own entire party has already officially censored him because of his pardoning of Tina Peters. He’s been a almost entirely useless government his entire time.

  Had to look him up

  In 2018, Polis was elected governor of Colorado. He is the first openly gay man elected governor of a U.S. state

  Does that make him the first openly gay governor to engage in union busting? how progressive 🙃

  Another proud Democrat representing for the “labor party”.

  In the glory days of the 1950s, unions were almost 50% of workforce… now about 10%, and those are mostly cops and government employees.

  Check out worker benefits and pay in Poland. Minimum wage a little less, in return they get healthcare, maternity leave, paid vacations, universal healthcare, and more.

  The year is 2026 and Eastern Europe has surpassed the USA, good job Democrats you are best labor party ever

  UNIONIZE EVERYTHING!

  Colorado has pioneered some really good pro-worker and pro-consumer legislation in the last few years, so this is especially disappointing. But par for the course considering how deep the anti-union propaganda runs.

  There is no stronger union than the Uniparty fighting for their donors
