Tonight I spoke to a candidate running to replace and remove Lauren Boebert.
It’s going to be a hard fight in that district, because colorado is blue-ish along I-25, but you don’t have to go more than 600 feet east of it to be in the red district.
Trisha recognizes me from their constituent meeting in early january. I put them onto ConnectingColorado and the AI infestation it represents, via EightFold.ai.
I gave a comment at the potluck tonight, when Bob the Larimer County Dems chairperson (who I met before at a caucus prep meeting) asked for the second time what we should be doing about 2029.
I don’t accept the premise that we have a 2028 election, or a valid 2026 one
But rather than pushing that, I spoke my piece again.
Autonomy.
States Rights.
Sustainability.
Local Hiring.
No Federal Funding To Be Weaponized Against Us.
The only thing I did not put in my comment was that we should be turning on our state militia, but I have reported this directly to Governor Polis while he was busy contemplating sympathy for an election criminal Tina Peters, at the behest of The Terrorist President.
Present was one of the county commissioner candidates for my district, and the current leaving-soonish county commissioner.
Both saw me competently complain about ConnectingColorado.gov in person in a 3 minute time limit.
I ended it perfectly for my time, and I was clear.
The candidate approached me after and synchronized the memory of me, and we had a good talk
ConnectingColorado.gov was on my lips again tonight because of local hiring. We can’t do it. We’re enslaved to technology that has sovereignty outside of our state.
I looked around that room while talking, dressed like a Teemu-knockoff candidate, and I saw people nodding openly at me when I told them all that we needed robust sustainability inside of our state if we expect to do this right, in so many words.
The sitting commissioner was FIERY about datacenters when she gave her 2 minute intro round. She’s got a 6 month ban on them and I like her more than I was able to appreciate when I spoke at her in person and emailed with her.
There was a millennial candidate. He came up to me after, too. It was trivial to ask him a question immediately to “catch him” back. We both wanted to talk. We were joined up again when he returned to me, while I was talking with the commissioner candidate.
I taught them both immediately that we don’t have enough millennials involved, and that Boomers are literally ordering millennials to execute each other. They are us. We are being killed by orders of our parents’ & grandparents’ generations.
My previous town mayor was present. I sat next to her. She’s running for the house district 51. I’ve seen her sleep outside with the homeless. I’ve seen her spend money in a way that was foolish and invited lawsuit.
Someone else’s comment on the mic was that we should wipe the federal reps across the board nationally.
This invited me to say to the mayor, who I have also seen at emergency homeless education meetings, that we should 10x the reps, because it hasn’t kept up with population.
She knew it too.
I Want A Vast Expansion of representation in this state. Millennials are Nowhere, and we are being killed.
I wouldn’t throw out the reps we have—they did it their way—but we need to roll dice on expanded representation. Vastly expanded.
We need the red and the blue and independent millennials to get out there and argue it, and they can, and They Should.
We aren’t doing this to pack the reps, we are doing it to vastly expand how many people Donald John Trump, The Terrorist President, has to control to get his way influencing states to bow to him.
Our Current Representation Is Wholly Failing Us, in so many way, and it is insufficient to represent The People, whoever they are.
I know it because it because they do not represent me, but I Am Eager To Recruit Them.
I met an attorney general candidate (who is not DSA-affiliated Seligman) who is not using the caucus and is instead using signatures to get on the ballot.
She said knocking doors was real. She has to say that, but I already believe her. However, her prime ideal for the position of AG was to sue Google like a gumball machine. I told her to her face that we will not win that game, and she licked the boot of the status quo by saying exactly what the cops say:
No Expectation Of Privacy.
In the same breath she claimed to defend privacy abroad, she was warmly content to allow the systematic rape of our ownership of data.
I signed her petition anyway. I’d like to see her fail in public.
I flagged down the candidate for Treasurer and asked her if she got my email, which probably went unseen so far. She very much liked my on-mic comments about local candidates doing state self-sufficient things.
I think she’ll get back to me about an interview. I want to talk about TABOR and more.
Trisha, for replacing Boebert, is impressed with me in a way she showed very differently this time, compared to the town meeting where she was basically leaning into my face full of dramatic passion.
I might ask more than one person for a job soon, and two interviews, AG and County Treasurer.
On the side, I’m working out how to write a ballot initiative with a city council support staff member. I met my buddy in that at the event too, and we’ve got supporting documentation for study.
I intend to generate initiatives that drive a couple of things that have nothing to do with partisanship, like Policed By Our Own, not tech firms located outside our state. Such was in my on-mic comment.
