    Our elected government leaders were not taking care of business. Criminals going free, open borders, high taxes, our government management and high cost of living that had been problems for years. The Democrats’ platform seemed mostly concerned with social programs instead of problem-solving and reducing government waste.

    Hm, this letter-writer sounds like a Republican, even using similar phrasing - I’m surprised they didn’t repeat that “waste, fraud, and abuse” I keep hearing all of them repeat like good little parrots. Open borders? High taxes? Government waste? That sounds like the kind of things that you’ll hear from Republicans and the lazy bothsiderist.

    And then proceeds to tell the Democratic Party what they should be doing. Yeah, doesn’t seem suspicious at all…

    The Friday, Oct. 24, Open Forum consisted of only pro-lib comments. It would be wise for the editorial board to keep in mind that their readers are not all progressive Dems. Conservative readers make up a large proportion of subscriptions. We pay the same rates, and we expect the same ability to express our viewpoints.

    LOL, there just aren’t enough conservative viewpoints being allowed on…checks notes…Denver Post. 🤣

    The mayor has now gifted all of our personal data regarding our movements — such as which businesses we support, which homes we visit, which hospitals and doctors we have appointments with, etc. — to this privately held corporation without our consent. We cannot trust this surveillance corporation to safeguard our personal data.

    I’m not fan of Flock, but there are all kinds of corporations that are spying on you and reselling your data. Granted, it is seemingly impossible to opt out of this, short of not driving. But the same problem exists in other areas. Sure, you can opt out of carrying a smart phone and using the 'net so these other companies don’t track you either, but how viable is that?
