City Matters Political Parties in Colorado 2026 06 10

In a candid, data-driven conversation, Professor Bob Loevy shares insights on how the ballot initiative allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in primaries has shifted political engagement—and why the rise of fringe candidates like Marx and Bottoms signals a deeper systemic crisis. You'll discover how party registration impacts political influence, why moderates are left out of the process, and the insidious ways extreme views are hijacking both parties. Loevy breaks down the role of the caucus system, petition-based nominations, and the urgent need for reform—like electing party officials at large—to restore balance. As Professor Loevy emphasizes, the future of democracy depends on systemic change—and your vote is more important than ever. If you believe politics should be about real issues, honest debate, and character—this conversation will light the way.
