Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes

My waves bear the sorrow

Either Schumer couldn't control his caucus or organized the capitulation. Either way, what good is he?
I've just emailed both my senators asking them to remove him from leadership. He's clearly toast.
