The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.

The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

    It’s a meaningless pejorative from Libs. I’m allowed to block anybody using it unironically and insultingly. If you have a problem with my actual arguments or sources, then lay them out rather than typing ad hominems.

      Seems to get you pretty steamed for being a “Meaningless pejorative.” If you want to pretend to not be bothered, maybe just ignore the comment/commenter without saying anything? Might make your life a little less shit.
