Looking at the election results for Colorado is pretty depressing. Jill Stein only got 1187 votes. The libertarian candidate did better with 1760.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. Mountain states, like New Hampshire for example (not a mountain state but hilly and for the East Coast those are the only mountains except the Appalachians) always have a lot of libertarians.
The results are not all bad , it’s why we have legal weed and mushrooms, for example which I very much appreciate as civil rights issues.
Colorado is the reason that any states have legalized it. It all started here.
But I was really hoping that the green party or any left of center party would do better than they did.

Im not an American. Is Colorado solid blue ? Just curious since I got relatives in the US im a bit of an ameriboo
Yes. Basically Californians moved here en masse. They did the same with Oregon (Portland) and Washington State (Seattle) .
Colorado is a Midwestern mountain state. It happens to be the birthplace of the KKK in 1922 as well as many right wing white supremacist militias.
But the population of Colorado doubles every decade and the vast majority of people who come here are liberals or libertarians.
