Colorado Politics
A place for news and discussion about politics in the Centennial State.
-
Posts must be explicitly related to Coloradan politics. This includes the interaction of federal and state politics and that state's congressional delegation. Local politics are permissible if they would reasonably be of interest to a statewide audience.
-
Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site's, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.
-
Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.
-
Posts must have appropriate source flair selected from the provided list. If the source could have two flairs, select the one you think better represents the post's content. Eg, an announcement from the Governor's office released through the Denver Post should be tagged ''Official' rather than 'News'.
-
Be civil.
-
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.
-
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
-
No hate speech, slurs, or abusive language. This will result in a ban.

You could start one, but few people care enough about gambling addiction to donate money to the cause. Most people still blame gamblers for "voluntarily" wasting their money on bad odds or being taken by scams. Even the organizations that provide support are largely funded by casinos and sports betting companies, so they aren't going to back legislation opposing gambling. If you do try to point out the ways in which lottos, sports betting, and casinos prey upon addicts, you'll be labelled a buzzkill.
