Polls show that the Colorado Republican is losing popularity when compared to Democratic rival Adam Frisch.

Critics of Republican Representative Lauren Boebert had something to celebrate on Thursday.

Boebert’s political rival, Adam Frisch, raised $3.4 million for his campaign in the third quarter of 2023, ratcheting up his cash on hand to $4.3 million. The fundraising was backed by more than 100,000 donations with an average of $32, according to a press release from his campaign. The announcement comes after Frisch outpaced Boebert’s fundraising 3-to-1 in the second quarter, when Boebert raised $818,000 to Frisch’s more than $2.6 million.

    I don’t like Boebert any more than the next person with an average IQ … she’s an idiot.

    But the most disturbing thing about this story is the idea that whoever has the most money gets to be elected.

    I have my criticisms about conservatives and I have my disagreements but normalizing the idea that money is what gets people elected should be just as disturbing.

    Because if that is so … it isn’t a democracy. It’s something else.

      I agree 100%, but at the same time you have to work within the system as it is. Losing races due to taking principled stances about dirty campaign money and purity risks giving victories to fascists. That’s the more immediate problem.
