The Colorado Department of State warned that it would be “a matter for the Courts” if the state’s Republican party withdrew from or ignored the results of the primary.

    Every time I see/hear someone say this, I am reminded of the phrase, “You cannot reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into”. It also doesn’t help that the republicans in power have shown us, over and over, that they are not acting/arguing in good faith.

    Having a reasonable conversation and trying to remain rational when faced with those two factors is very difficult, at best, and puts you at a significant disadvantage, at worst.

    That being said, I don’t really have any better ideas other than to stick to my ideals and try to be rational/reasonable.

      My comment had almost exactly nothing to do with republicans… I implied they aren’t capable of being reasonable/rational, but the point was really about Dems, and their lack of being reasonable/rational not because they can’t, but because they just decide not to.

      …and I got the downvotes… Didn’t sound like a Democrat, so I must be a repub, because that’s just how Dems work now.

      You seem uncharacteristically reasonable though, so I replied to you just to say that :)
