    I’m from Colorado, we have never been solid blue. Until quite recently we were reliably purple. Outside of our major metro areas we are still pretty red.

    You’re talking out your ass.

      I’ve lived in Colorado for 34 years, it’s solid fucking blue.

      Outside of our major metro areas we are still pretty red

      There are only 500,000 that live outside the metro areas, so yes about 500K Republicans and 5 million Democrats.

        Colorado springs is the second largest metro area and even that city is pretty red. You don’t know what you are talking about
