Progressive Manny Rutinel wins Colorado competitive House primary
A downballot result: In the highest-profile Democratic primary for Colorado's state Senate, the progressive side has easily prevailed. Chela Garcia Irlando, an environmental advocate, has won over Andrés Carrera, a former staffer for Governor Jared Polis.
Taniel197This was to replace Julie Gonzales, one of the most prominent progressives in the Colorado legislature who was term-limited and ran (and lost) for the U.S. Senate.
Shockratees28Props to all who predicted Polis’s pardon of the icky Trump lady would make him toxic by association
HobokenIrish❌👑16Anyone connected to Polis should lose unless they strongly spoke out against him or resigned in protest
dadude9After Tina Peters, Polis has to be a scarlet letter in liberal Colorado. 👽
Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺1Anyone associated with Polis has an albatross hanging around their neck
Debbie Lefkowitz1Being associated with Polis seems toxic right now.
Kate Crowe10I am very pleased with who is succeeding Julie Gonzales though. Excited for Chela!
conputer dipshit8november is going to be very interesting if this is the energy
Derek Newsome6To anyone who thinks aggressive progressiveness is a weak strategy, its been beating the hell out of the appeasers.
Jonathon Booth6Polis staffer is not something you want on your resume if you hope to be elected to anything
Catherine Prendergast🇺🇦🪬5I feel like a houseplant would prevail over anyone connected to Polis. The man turned himself into a superfund site.
Deanna Something2To be fair, Polis is radioactive at this point.
If Victor Marx loses the primary for Colorado governor, we may never find how many people he’s killed. And I am still really curious.
Martin Gardner12Republicans voting for a guy called "Marx" lol.
Joe Sacco and Vanzetti7I still maintain he's a future Behind the Bastards episode subject
FrontRangeWildflowers7“Does it matter?” Isn’t that what he said to you, like ‘who here among us hasn’t killed someone?’ 🧐🤪
Andrea5For someone who demonstrates his level of arrogance and narcissism, I don’t think you will have to wait too long. The truth will come out either accidentally or intentionally. That’s what narcissists do.
Truck Fump CO5No matter who wins that primary - we can say that 60% of Republican primary voters voted for a batshit-crazy candidate (Marx or Bottoms).
jmtlaw.bsky.social4A legend in his own mind.
A Succulent Vincent Boombats5So far 185k republicans in Colorado have voted for the dude. A psychopath who makes up outlandish stories…and that many republicans voted for him. The GOP is well and truly broken beyond repair.
watertigernyc3Well, I know Kyle just killed me, so that's at least 1 by association.

spursj69.bsky.social7Shumey has to go 👋🏻
OBG2Proud of this young generation. I'm Gen X and they're giving me hope. I'm ready to fight with them.
Believer in justice, good wine, travel and dogs2My first dem socialist vote…and I voted for degette every time she ran in the past
SudoHero1I cannot wait for the day where the US cuts Israel off completely. I feel like that day is coming soon.
I saw "left-wing insurgent ousts..." and assumed this was a story about a coup in Latin America, and not the Democratic Party primary in Denver. I'm sure NYT also got extra credit from its corporate overlords for running the most menacing photo they could find (which is not particularly menacing).
Jack The Cat7When the pedophiles call us socialists, we should explain that socialism is a good thing and they’re pedophiles. Republicans sacrifice infants, toddlers, children, women and then they eat their bodies so they can stay young … Republicans are evil.
Newell Baldelli3🏆 😂 “insurgent” is definite a, um, choice “It entered the English language in the mid-18th century as a term for a person who rises in revolt against an established government” -Oxford Dictionary Given the current “established government,” though, I embrace this insurgency.
msdavinci.bsky.social3Fox friends showing tape of her yelling at her victory rally, because she’s a scary radical. Not conservative like tearing down a third of the White House, she’s radical.
baghutch.bsky.social3"Look how angry she MIGHT be! Please join us in the fear cave"
KJN1When people are desperate and feel they are clinging, they grasp. That said, it is going to be very important that a blue congress is able to coalesce into one power in order to effect change. The right is doing all it can to divide the blue side.
Chick N Bell1Sometimes I think maybe I will get my New York Times a subscription again, beyond the puzzles, and then they do shit like this and I think no, I'm not giving them more money.
Bird was a Democratic Majority for Israel endorsee, one of two candidates who got EMILYs List's Women Vote PAC support after it got $500,000 from DMFI. Pro-Israel PACs around 50% this cycle, a stunning turnaround from 2022 and 2024.

coachdondelotell.bsky.social8Hopefully her Dem opponent will defeat her in November—Dems need a 40+ House victory to shut the Trump Mafia corruption down beginning 1/21/27
kayco51.bsky.social5She didn’t win the primary. It was an uncontested race.
goldenrulegirl.bsky.social4I don’t care, she doesn’t belong in Congress.
makaleka2how in the hell did this idiot WIN?
dianecheyanne.bsky.social1I can't believe she won.
Sherry Krauss1and she ran unopposed, he likes to take credit for those races
BREAKING: Phil Weiser upsets Michael Bennet to win Democratic primary for Colorado governor
Norm IV2Broadly speaking, the people want their government back. Anything that reeks of the last decade is going to be treated like week-old supermarket sushi left in the sun.
Story of bas Monde2Good, damn tired of the Pablum Centrists
NH's "Play-by-Play" Guy3Remember when Michael Bennet thought he could be a contender for President:
Jesse Coffey #BeGood #ICEOut #IStandWithPopeLeoXIV2BRIEF COMMENT This means accountability is in growing order and he will have to fight Hickenlooper to achieve it.
Derek St. John2My Two Points: 1. Democrats realize that the State-level, NOT Washington D.C., is where you can be a LEADER and have a Real Impact. And more effectively Oppose Trump. 2. Democratic Voters want NEW Faces. It's NOT policy, at the primary level--it's freshness, authenticity, passion.
I typically don’t like thirsting after politicians. but factually. a very pretty man. Congrats CO08
murranji.bsky.social2A shame he changed all his views and is now a climate change aligned gas fracker who is also siding with Israel after previously being a socialist pro Palestinian.
Wendy M. A. Darling1By no means his most important attribute, but indeed yes.
Howard Ashman stan account1That's a goddamn hot ass man
Brad (Cobb Vanth/Mando shipper)1Oooh a great start to the night. Let’s keep the momentum going!
And Manny Rutinel won tonight, which is good news for Colorado, but even better news for @runwithskizzers.bsky.social, who has made her stance on this absolute smokeshow clear.
Nome31As have I: If he's glowed up this well from 29 to 31, by 50 he's going to be fucking unstoppable.
🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Sam Kimbrel5also i would like to make sure anyone who appreciates this man(ny) is also aware of LA’s city controller Kenneth Mejia, because he is very good at his job, handily defeated a challenger despite an absurd campaign spend imbalance, and is also quite easy on the eyes
Aras Sivad (she/her)4I have never once been attracted to a politician until this very moment. I hope he does a good job!!
Rebecca von Groote3Holy hell. I am looking, respectfully.
Kris P.2Oh he's got dimples. That is unfair.
phoenixrose24.bsky.social1In the recent photo he almost looks like that guy from criminal minds
Preeti Chhibber108!!!! Let’s get those movie star good looks in the halls of Congress!
Thanks For Sharing, Jerk9Kiros is also super hot, Colorado knows what we’re doing
🌸 Belle @ comicmaxxing 🌸7damn he's fine as hell
Fryda Wolff4"When people hear about my personal story and our campaign’s momentum to take back the House, people tell me I’m Trump’s worst nightmare." 🥵 Ay papi!
A.P. Brown4Please dear god, get this guy into debate practice. I'll even browbeat him if necessary.
