Jared Polis is the only congressperson that would fit right in at a HN meetup. He's the type of congressperson SV deserves.
I'm glad he's not afraid to break ranks and take on old-school Dems like Manchin.

- saalweachter 13y agoEh. Politicians are people who hold a spectrum of beliefs and positions which overlap with your own to some extent or another. Sometimes they have more information than you on a subject, sometimes they have less, and sometimes they are just starting from different values than you have, which colors their perceptions of the available information in a different way than yours. You should neither expect a politician to always take the positions you would prefer, nor to never take a position you agree with.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI voted against Polis in the past, and now regret it.
