The mods of /r/ Colorado arbitrarily deleted my post with a Kyle Clark tweet about Polis and his presser this morning - which violated no rules and they insulted / banned me when I asked why.

Seriously messed up. I've sent it all over to the Code of Conduct team but anyone else have any issues like this on that sub?

Jared Polis and his carrot at first presser since Democratic party censor.

This dude has completely lost the thread. I cannot believe I ever supported him. He was my hero after covid. We have to make sure he never holds office again.

If Michael Bennet wins the Governor’s race, we could end up with Jared Polis in the US Senate—without a single vote. Here's how to stop him.

With the gubernatorial primary coming up next month, we need to talk about a looming backroom political maneuver that isn't getting nearly enough attention.

If Senator Michael Bennet wins the governor's race, he will vacate his U.S. Senate seat. Because of how vacancy laws work, this creates a loophole for a literal political job-swap.

It’s called the "resign-and-appoint" play, and it works like this:

  1. **Bennet wins** the governorship.
  2. **Jared Polis**—who is term-limited—resigns as governor a few weeks before his term officially ends.
  3. **Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera** is sworn in as the temporary Governor.
  4. **The Swap:** As her first official act, she appoints Jared Polis to fill Bennet's vacant U.S. Senate seat.

Just like that, Jared Polis goes to Washington as our U.S. Senator for the next two years, and the voters never get a single say.

This kind of backdoor appointment is always frustrating, but it's especially unacceptable given the current state of Colorado politics.

Look at the absolute chaos and division over election integrity in our state. Just today, Governor Polis made the controversial move to commute Tina Peters' sentence—a decision that Senator Bennet himself publicly blasted, stating that "lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness."

If Bennet truly believes that Polis's recent actions undermine our institutions and the rule of law, **he needs to promise Colorado voters right now that he will not cooperate with a backroom succession plan that hands his Senate seat to Polis.

We cannot let our representation in Washington be treated like a game of musical chairs. We need to demand a commitment to transparency and a fair process before we cast our primary ballots.

**Please consider contacting Senator Bennet’s office to demand a clear, public stance on this vacancy issue:**
* **Denver Office:** (303) 455-7600
* **Online Contact Form:** https://www.bennet.senate.gov/contact/

Edit: Diane DeGette also needs to go! And to be clearI don't support or dislike any candidates for governor. I just want Polis where he belongs. Out of office.
