There are an estimated 12,000 ballots left to count as of late Thursday evening. Most of those ballots are from Arapahoe County. Only 85 percent of the county’s votes are reported. Arapahoe County supported Laubacher overwhelmingly (60.9 percent) to Boebert’s 35.8 percent.
According to NBC News, Boebert must win 61.4 percent of the remaining vote to overtake Laubacher.
Disagree. Use every slur and insult on these people
If you want to do edgy stuff against fascist, fo burn down their car or house or something.

I know, these people are out of touch. Enemies of this nature deserve to be attacked with every weapon.
There’s a huge difference between not “going high” vs. being misogynistic and bigoted
Nobody hates her for being a woman. We hate her for her beliefs and actions.
Tell that to the commenters on this post suggesting she start an onlyfans
Nah
Yeah, alright. Or you can just go ahead and normalize bigotry, I guess. I’m sure that won’t do any harm.
Is calling her a slut bigotry though? I’m a whore. I like sex, I like women and I like men, amongst other things. My partner knows this and even she has openly said she was a whore/slut back when she was younger. I’d never shame others for doing what I do, and I’d never act better than anyone who even does a fraction of what I do.
Bobo did that, though. She acted holier than thou. She came off like she was better than everyone and that she didn’t have any stains on her white dress. To me that means when you go and act like that and then do slutty stuff don’t be surprised if you’re called a hoe.
The issue is when you start saying things like that, dropping accusations like that, it’s not only about the person you’re insulting and you. There are other people in the equation. To my mind there are two elements to this:
First: say someone comes from a religious background and isn’t quite so sexually liberated as you and so already struggles with that internalized guilt. Call someone a slut in front of that person and all of a sudden they are witnessing something they’re afraid of in themselves being turned against someone as a weapon to hurt, and now they have to deal with more fear of the shame, this time from you. That’s the thing: you say you’d never shame someone, but how are they supposed to feel safe around you if they see you do it to someone else?
Second: the things we say and do inform the norms of social interaction. Every time you direct an attack rooted in bigotry at someone you establish, just a little bit, the norm that it is acceptable to do so. It leaves the door open for those who might not be so discerning as you to enter the conversation, participate in that bigotry, and then take that a step too far.
Like, sure, you can argue that the insult is coming from a place of “I don’t believe this is wrong, but I know you do, so fuck you.” But the way we handle these conversations dictates more than just that conversation: it impacts social norms as a whole in a way that spits in the face of common decency. I don’t think that’s something we should consider an acceptable cost.
Ultimately, I just think it’s unnecessarily cruel, and utterly pointless when we’re talking about someone who has so much that is perfectly valid to criticize her for.
Be careful when you fight monsters
Are you white? If so, would you call Clarence Thomas the N word?
if I could hide in his motor-home and yell it then sure
Good call. Too big–they’ll never find you in there.
No but only because Uncle Tom is more fitting
Not white, but for my part I absolutely would not. Not in my vocabulary.
If someone else did, though, there are way better uses of my time and energy than wagging my finger and giving them a sanctimonious lecture about it.
This is how I feel. This comments section is full of people who complain about the state of the US but then cry like babies if you attack the oligarchy but aren’t polite about it.
Revolutions are ugly and messy. These prissy democrats don’t have the right stuff to ever make meaningful change.
