Posts must be explicitly related to Coloradan politics. This includes the interaction of federal and state politics and that state's congressional delegation. Local politics are permissible if they would reasonably be of interest to a statewide audience.
-
Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site's, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.
-
Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.
-
Posts must have appropriate source flair selected from the provided list. If the source could have two flairs, select the one you think better represents the post's content. Eg, an announcement from the Governor's office released through the Denver Post should be tagged ''Official' rather than 'News'.
-
Be civil.
-
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.
-
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

If you don’t want to live in a state with Mexicans in it don’t live in a state we/you stole from Mexico.
The Front Range of Colorado was part of the Louisiana Purchase. Thanks for playing.
Were they talking about Colorado? Seems like "stolen from Mexico" would apply squarely to Texas.
Could be, I'm used to people claiming Colorado was part of Mexico and not knowing the history.
Mexico was a result of Napoleon defeating Spain in 1808. It operated as an oligarchy until 1855 when it elected an actual government. It sold Texas and Northern Mexico to the United States in 1848 in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for $10 Million.
Mexico as it is today was established in 1920 after a decade of Civil Wars between 1910 and 1920.
