    dang I guess I just assumed she must’ve already been from the most shithead district available, crazy to think there’s (edit: possibly) an even worse place than the one she got elected from to start with

      Colorado went through a round of redistricting, so her old seat lost a bunch of the baked-in far-right evangelical base that she’d enjoyed up till now. She only held her CO-3 seat by 1% of the vote, so she’s DOA going into 2024 with the new district lines and population changes.

      By contrast, CO-4 is a comically lopsided 63/30 Republican district. She can camp out there indefinitely if she wins her primary.

        Why is the far-right evangelical base supporting a woman who performs sex acts in public?

        I guess that’s less of a threat to their children than someone using a closed toilet stall in the same room as someone born with different genitals.

          In the state that gave us Ted Haggard, Paul Barnes, and Gary Hart?
