  • Yes. Basically Californians moved here en masse. They did the same with Oregon (Portland) and Washington State (Seattle) .

    Colorado is a Midwestern mountain state. It happens to be the birthplace of the KKK in 1922 as well as many right wing white supremacist militias.

    But the population of Colorado doubles every decade and the vast majority of people who come here are liberals or libertarians.


  • Looking at the election results for Colorado is pretty depressing. Jill Stein only got 1187 votes. The libertarian candidate did better with 1760.

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Mountain states, like New Hampshire for example (not a mountain state but hilly and for the East Coast those are the only mountains except the Appalachians) always have a lot of libertarians.

    The results are not all bad , it's why we have legal weed and mushrooms, for example which I very much appreciate as civil rights issues.

    Colorado is the reason that any states have legalized it. It all started here.

    But I was really hoping that the green party or any left of center party would do better than they did.









  • If you fail there must be a way to retake the test, correct?

    Just so you know , I failed the check ride for my private pilots license, then for my instrument rating and finally, for my commercial license. There was one person, out of at least a thousand, who made it through all of the check rides on the first try. None of that meant that I was a bad pilot , there were people who flew right past me and bragged about it only to watch my career excel as theirs stagnated

    Just do your best and if you fail, be extra prepared for the retake


  • No , unfortunately there is not much hope for us but we can move the ball forward for the next generations and in the meantime stand in solidarity with the left but also with each other .

    We are still the out group here and that will usually not be acknowledged but during times of stress we will always be the fall guys.

    The only danger is ever thinking that we are not in danger


  • I find it hilarious that white people are telling me that "I am going to be sorry " for voting green party as if I'm not already sorry to have been born in a country which will never accept me.

    People like us have been facing threat , certainly from the time that we become a sexual threat or quarry to white men. My life has been war from when I was 12 years old until I forced them to stop messing with me.

    So I can't help but laugh in the face of some white dude who has never felt threatened in his life telling me that I am not accurately assessing the forces arrayed against me.


  • Had a woman in my therapy group start complaining about how difficult being brown in America is.

    Her and I are the only two brown people in a group of fourteen people. I don't what she expected. Like, they aren't going to apologize and white people take accusations of racism personally , so they won't empathize either.

    This is really basic stuff . I was shocked that a poc didn't get that. It's borderline white levels of ignorance

    I wanted to get up and leave.
