It is a city of neighborhoods and many are conservative neighborhoods. A loud mouthed jerk makes a statement for attention and street creds and people on DU go nuts. Attacking democrats who have nothing to do with the city as centrist and non progressive is counterproductive. Let’s leave the little man in the gutter where he belongs. We have got to fight to take our country back ,not get involved with city politics.
