A Very Democratic Monday Evening In Colorado

Forget Labor Day, campaign season is happening now–as Democrats from Denver to D.C. seek to capitalize on a new wave of momentum behind the presumptive Democratic nominee for President Kamala Harris, local Democrats tonight are hosting a campaign kickoff virtual meetup with Gov. Jared Polis, state party chairman Shad Murib, and musical guests Jaime Wyatt and DJ Demigod:

We feel cool to have heard of one of those acts, and we’ll let you guess which one it is. Also tonight, a much larger nationwide virtual rally that Fox News is calling the “most Beta gathering in history,” though with over 90,000 signed up as of this writing critics can call it whatever they want: there’s just no parallel for this scale of rapid organizing in the MAGA world.

Although Colorado despite what some outlier polls in the depths of despair a few weeks ago indicated is not considered a competitive state in the presidential race, the opportunity to run up the score with an energized statewide coordinated organizing for candidates at all levels is another best-case scenario for Colorado Democrats, who have dominated the last three general election cycles establishing their biggest majority since FDR was President. Another blowout this November means the chance at a Democratic supermajority in the Colorado Senate to match the House, ending the GOP’s last meager toehold of resistance in state government.

In the interest of fairness, we should now update on Colorado Republicans’ organizing efforts, but there’s not much to report while they’re busy eating their own.
