Denver City Council President Ousted By Communist

For quite a while now, the state of Colorado has been turning purple, and ultimately blue with an influx of residents from other states. The natives are not exactly happy with this, and they will be positively livid with the results of Tuesday’s runoff in the Denver City Council.

Candi CdeBaca won a runoff race last week against former Denver city council president Albus Brooks, and she did it by promising to implement communist policies “by any means necessary.”

CdeBaca was among three candidates that unseated incumbents in the Tuesday runoff, preliminary results show, and she’s already drawing comparisons to Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old who unseated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in New York’s 14th congressional district in 2018.

Oh, great. Another communist Barbie.

“It’s historic,” said Carlos Valverde, state director for Colorado Working Families, a political activist group that supported CdeBaca. “It is in the vein of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. … A victory that really demonstrates people power over money power.”

CdeBaca defeated Brooks 52.4 percent to 47.6 percent, though military and overseas ballots are still being counted.

Since no one wins important elections without money, it’s doubtful Valverde is being realistic, but still…a communist won an election in Denver. Colorado.

The upset victory, and two other incumbent defeats, marks the most significant shift in city leadership in over 30 years, and Valverde contends it “began a movement” toward more progressive policies once the new members are sworn in this week, The Denver Channel reports.

If the pattern of socialist policies being implemented continues as it has in other places, Denver may well soon see its most productive members leave for places where socialist policies do not exist. With them, goes the tax revenue socialists need to make their dreams come true.

“I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources,” CdeBaca alleged.

“And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new, and I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources and distribution of those resources,” she continued. “And whatever that morphs into is I think what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary.”

You can’t make this stuff up.
