I still can’t believe that Jared Polis, the democratic governor of *colorado* praised RFK for his antivaxx stances

You never met Gen-x or Boomer liberal anti-vaxx? You find a lot of them in the west coast.

He was really all about trying to appease the (tiny) crunchy MAHA contingent. He thought it was some deft political move to appeal to them. I think that was a gross miscalculation.

The guys from Boulder, most people there buy into this shit. I think a lot of people underestimate just how prevalent this woo bullshit is in many circles across the political span and how genuinely these people believe it. No evidence, no science, just vibes and “Muh evil chemicals”.

Even if you like the antivax stances, it was abundantly clear that RFK was going to come in and pour gasoline all over everything with a lit match between his teeth and that the resulting fire would not warm the hearts of any of the voters Polis needs to appeal to, so his endorsement was quite odd.

I used to be a turtle @iusedtobeaturtle.bsky.social

a reminder that woo woo is not a left-right issue .. sure, the libertarians and crazy Christian sects are probably the worst when it comes to vaccines NOW, but there was a time when anti-vaxx was considered to be a problem with the left ... and it still is!

Actual PhD Grace Peng @gspeng.bsky.social

I was a precinct captain in Boulder when he won the Democratic primary for governor his first term. He beat the state treasurer, a woman married to a physician. Well, she won the caucus and he funded a workaround to get on the ballot.

Urban Futurist Democrat @urbfuturistdem.bsky.social

This seems like how it was designed, not a workaround? Also, it looks like he won 32% at the caucus, so maybe he didn't need those signatures at all? www.coloradopolitics.com/2018/03/07/d...

The caucus is the first step for candidates seeking the nomination. In Colorado, Democrats elect delegates to county, congressional district and state assemblies based on candidates’ share of support. It’ll take at least 30 percent at the April 14 state assembly in Broomfield for statewide candidates to get on the ballot – or they can turn in 10,500 valid petition signatures.
