There's a reason why Democrats are losing support left and right in the while country.
They're simply Republican light.
CO resident here:
Polis didn't veto the bill because he wanted to have rent raised in Colorado, or make collusion legal and anti-trust illegal, he vetoed the bill because what it was making illegal is already illegal here. Passing this new law would have done nothing except increase the number of laws on the books. Over the last few years Polis has made it a priority to remove superfluous laws from the books.
If this is causing Democrats to lose support, it's not because of the policy, it's because of the headline-only-reactions and refusal of so many voters to actually think about what it is they're presented with
So a law already exists, but it clearly isn't being enforced, so they passed a new one with teeth. But this DINO wants the old, weak law to supercede the new, useful law, and the corp that it was meant to stop congratulates him.
When people say both sides are the same, this is what they mean.
Democrats have always been like that so DINO doesn't make sense. Progressive is the only label that aligns with good politics these days
