It's not really our party, is it?
Nope. Hasn't been since Carter at the latest.
Never has been.
Just in case anyone thought "vote blue no matter who" ever actually meant something. This is happening a lot lately.
Vote Blue No Matter Who is only for progressives and leftists to swallow their morals for "lesser" evil, but when a progressives win because they forgot to tip the scales enough, they will gladly vote Republican and independent.
Ilhan Omar says the DFL's decision demonstrated the "clear tension between the progressive Democrats who are challenging the status quo and moderate Democrats."
We need to stop calling them "moderate" Democrats. We need to name them what they are because there's nothing moderate about them. They are conservative Democrats. They are basically 1980s Republicans.
Obama: "The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican."
I've watched the Democrats move to the right since then
Vichy Democrats.
As a result, access to party voter rolls, which usually only go to the candidate endorsed by the DFL, will now be given to everyone, which could considerably hurt Fateh's chances of unseating Frey.
Can someone explain to this European why this is so bad?
I can understand that the rolls only going to the incumbent will make unseating them harder.
Shouldn’t the rolls be given to any candidate, so it’s a fair competition? (Under the weird US voting system)
Voting in the states has never been fair competition. Voting rights and voting methods have been major areas of contention in the states since we started.
Minnesota is such a land of contrast. Rural parents will accept a gay son no problem but the second someone mentions a non-Christian, it's World War 3.
they get butthurt when "christianity" is displayed a different way in shows and movies too.
To be fair there were irregularities, the guy they wanted should not have even made it to the second round.
Makes sense the won't try holding a repeat vote.
Oh Ilhan, you are just one of the token double minorities the DNC uses to prop up plausible deniability. Are you really surprised? Also, "our party "
they did it for david hoggs why not him. they dint face must resistance when they quashed david hoggs as the vice chair.
