While I am a bit bummed about pro-business stooge and current Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper winning the Senate primary, I am heartened that centrist empty suit Michael Bennett lost to Colorado AG Phil Weisner in the Gubernatorial primary, and that DSA candidate Melat Kiros defeated 15-term Congresswoman Diana DeGette.
DeGette is problematic for a number of reasons:
- 30 years is enough.
- She is deeply enmeshed in the Democratic Party Congressional leadership, having being Chief Deputy Whip for 6 years. The out of touch Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) gerontocracy in the US Congress needs to be removed.
- AIPAC was stealth funding a number of anti-Kiros PACs.
That last point does not mean that I am no longer a Zionist. It means that I consider AIPAC to the the 2nd greatest threat to the State of Israel in the world today after Benjamin Netanyahu.
