The Socialists aren't just taking over New York. This happened in Colorado.

A 29-year-old Democratic Socialist ousted a longtime Democrat incumbent in Colorado's 1st District in Tuesday night's House primary.

Far-left candidate Melat Kiros defeated 15-time incumbent Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette on Tuesday night.

Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia, was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

🚨 It's crunch time in Colorado 🚨

We have just ONE more day to send @MelatKirosCO to Congress! We made 110k calls on Friday, but we're not done yet...

Join us tonight @ 6 PM MT/8 PM ET to break Friday's record alongside @dsa_losangeles @SeattleDSA @JvpAction & @sunrisemvmt ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/735omLCQOn

Kiros recently claimed that 9/11 was America's fault.

Socialist candidate Melat Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia, is about to beat 15-term incumbent Diana DeGette in the Democrat primary for Colorado's 1st Congressional District.

>> The count doesn’t include Jefferson County yet.

I grew up in JeffCo, attended JeffCo public skoolz.

JeffCo will (sadly) go for the commie.

It ain’t the same Jefferson County, Colorado I grew up in.

Glad I got the hell out of that marxist hellhole after I came of age.

>> The young women vote again.

True, but that isn’t the problem.

The problem is ONLY THE STUPID YOUNG BITCHES VOTE!!!

What was turnout in this election? How many registered voters DID NOT VOTE?

(Or, seeing that it’s Kalifornycolorado, how many “seldom vote” ballots were harvested for the commie?)

WAKE UP PEOPLE! WAKE UP CHURCH!

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

But more than the 500 MM _____ (LOL) we’ll need the courage and properly cultivated (i.e. Bible and Constitution) understanding to appropriately apply force against tyranny.

>> These Mandami Commies may sell in blue chitholes but it won’t sell in a lot of the rest of America.

IF — AND ONLY IF — entertainment obsessed, “muh job” obsessed, “muh kids sports” obsessed, CLUELESS, LAZY, HISTORICALLY IGNORANT younger-than-boomers get off their stupid lazy self-absorbed asses and VOTE WITH UNDERSTANDING.

We Boomers have been carrying the sane electoral load for a long time now. And guess what?? We’re dying off.

Next generations! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER or become slaves to attractive but deadly snakes like this indian c*nt.

You have been warned. It’s up to you to pray and work towards a 2 Timothy 1:7 sound mind.

Can’t really feel sorry for her. You dance with the devil (socialism) long enough and this is bound to happen. America has dropped their guard regarding the camel’s nose under the tent.

Want a realist’s view of the dangers of socialism and communism, ask anyone who was in Cuba or “Red” China or Southeast Asia or many other parts of the world where the central government ruled with an iron fist.

The young women vote again. They are voting for their destruction.

No, they’re voting for OUR destruction. If their idiocy was only going to destroy them, I wouldn’t care a bit, because they would deserve it.

Colorado democratic party voters will look at their ballot and check (D) no matter who the nominee is rather than vote for a Republican. Between the pot-addled and the uninformed white guilt leftist liberal women, they will complete the destruction of Colorado.

Actually we Gen Xers are the ones who almost single handedly put Trump in office.

Trump only carried Baby Boomers by +3%. He carried Gen X by a whopping +14%. Without Gen X, he certainly loses. You're welcome.

National socialists (nazis) despised socialism (eg communists). They included the word “socialist” in their party name to attract more left wing voters during their acendancy.

Looks like Republicans aren’t the only ones who get complacent during non-presidential election years or in primaries. The lack of turnout is what enables these radicals to be elevated. The NYC mayoral election (which is an ‘off-year’ election) typically only gets about a 20% turnout. The primaries get even less. We all need to wake up. I am guessing the incumbent dem will run as an “independent” in the general in hopes of getting out the “moderate democrat” voters who didn’t bother to vote in the primary.

Exactly.

Like the big “C” Communists they are, they must purge the ones from their midst who don’t have the stomach to go all the way, who aren’t fully on board for the dirty work that must be done to reach their goals.

I swear, this book I am dictating, “The Naked Communist” is making me think of these Marxists on the Left every day. Playing out in front of us.

I feel a foreboding, that this is going to be the battle of our lives against these evil snake oil salesmen called Communists who are always watching, like farmers, for the fertile soil in which to plant their seeds, and the right time to plant them.

With all of these Communists coming out into the open, even though they call themselves “socialists” or “Democratic Socialists of America” or whatever the Hell they wish to cloak themselves in, they are absolutely no different from Marx, Lenin, Stalin, or a million Soviet bureaucrats who participated in the entire gulag system as described by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn in his seminal work “The Gulag Archipelago”.

There is no space-none-between the likes of Melat Kiros, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier (and scores of others who now feel emboldened to come out into the open) and the likes of Stalin, Beria, Lenin, Putin (his spots have never changed) Brezhnev, Andropov, and millions of nameless others who kept the population of their country under their tyrannical thumb.

No difference at all.

The dangerous (and sad) thing is-many of them don’t realize yet that is true. They think they will be different. That this Communism will be different. But history shows us...it won’t.

The Terminus of the Socialist road they are taking is Communism.

“The monster always kills its creator..........”

Funny thing is that in all the Universal movies it happened that way. It never seemed to work for either the doctor or the creation. Socialism follows the same path. It’s never worked any time in history, either.
