The Colorado Supreme Court, all of whose members “were appointed by Democratic governors”, has voted for protect our democracy by restricting the group of candidates from which Coloradans can choose in the 2024 Presidential elections.
Although I’m sure that this was well-intentioned, could the result be to threaten our democracy instead? I continue to reject the poll numbers that suggest that Donald Trump is a stronger candidate than Nikki Haley (my favorite Republican for the past few years, though that is arguably like being a dwarf among midgets) or Ron DeSantis (a great governor who needs a softer and more optimistic tone if he’s going to go higher, in my opinion). If Trump is banished from politics by an impartial group of 7 Democrat appointees, mightn’t that actually help democracy-ending Republicans by eliminating a candidate who would lose a general election?

What do people read in Denver? I visited the Tattered Cover, an old-school downtown bookstore, to find out. “For the sisters, misters, and binary resisters”:
Republicans would have a better chance of winning if Trump was banned from every state, but since he’s still on in 49 states, Bide is guaranteed to win.
Our democracy has been saved or further threatened by the Colorado Supreme Court? Both!

Slightly off topic…. the first chipotle was in Denver. I do like chipotle!
I think it may be a trial run to manage America going forward, also being applied to Democrats faceted base in Democrat primaries with pledged candidates : pro-Hamas, pro-crime, anti-business, radical left grass roots 51+% majority ruled by post-national, anti-liberty, anti-meritocracy, anti-civil law kleptocracy through fixed “electoral” system.
Not by intelligent design but evolutionary in response to partially self-imposed challenges due to idleness, spazzines and desire for action, random in its nature.
Interesting that even though it is an outrage, this way selected Democratic candidate is temporary preferable to a Democrat elected by their grass roots, if Democratic party could keep their diverse grass roots together on its pasture without a some kind of crooked system.
