The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.
The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.
Oh gee, I dunno. This term is being applied to a political party running a legal campaign. I can tell you without a doubt, they are referring to the more extreme definition of insurgency. Not just a rebellious group of people but an armed group of people who wish to accomplish their goals through violence. They are swapping out the term radical for terrorist, which is a common gop tactic.
I live here. There’s more guns than people. They are already on path to justify killing people for holding political opinion. Don’t be fuckin’ daft. You realize what you’re playing devil’s advocate for, right?
