Denver Council Member Says She’ll Usher in Communism “By Any Means Necessary”
Candi CdeBaca, a newly elected Denver Council member believes that Communism is the way to go because “capitalism doesn’t work.” The delusional far-left member won in an upset runoff election earlier this month.

For Denver residents, the November 2022 ballot will be just the start of the action. The city’s municipal election is coming on April 4, 2023.
