    I mean

    Colorado voted for dems in the presidential and in 4 out of 8 congressional districts (greeley is part of #8 which was won by conservatives by 0.74% margin)

    It just seems a little unusual to me to call it a conservative area. Greeley is just a ways north of Denver.

      I’ll take that bet.

      It’s an hour away but there is a college there.

        You must have caught me in that breif moment before I made the edit. I decided to check the bus routes myself and it only reaches to either Brighton or Longmont the latter of which is 39 miles out of Greeley.

      We get it, you’re downplaying the popularity of progressive policy.

      To that end, no nit can go unpicked.

        I do, personally, I care a lot about accuracy, honesty, and political nuances.

        I think it’s very useful for us while we’re making plans. They chose the best congressional district to campaign in, for sure, but as a whole Colorado seems low value compared to flip states.
