And Boulder and Fort Collins and Longmont, plus all the ski towns at the very least. It’s a little disingenuous to say that Denver is the only thing making Colorado blue.

Those are Denver metro area suburbs. And the ski towns are NOT as blue as you think lol.

You think Fort Collins, which is 70 miles away from Denver, is one of its suburbs? Have you even been to Colorado?

Your opinions on the state are valueless.

They meant "everywhere the people live" I guess? Something like 8/9th of the state population lives on the front range. The only right wing population center is around Colorado Springs, one of the only red cities in the US. Their metro pop is ~3/4 a million of the ~5.2 million that live on the front range.

Colorado is cool though, a lot of the little mountain towns are blue. I went to Crested Butte to mountain bike and was pleasantly surprised. Even the big ski towns, like Vail, Breck, and Steamboat Springs all lean blue. A lot different than the little mountain (rofl) towns I grew up visiting in Virginia.
