I bet if the feds prosecuted some state officials for negligence for allowing this fraud to happen we could get some action from the state.

"Is it possible to imagine a different politics, one that draws on the best ideas of those who identify as liberals and those who identify as conservatives to build a broad coalition of support?" Check out the sub stack below to see an exemplar in Bobby Kennedy

The idea that less than 600 votes were cast in a room w/several hundred more delegates (not even including alternates). The Minneapolis DFL knows their system screwed up -- they're ditching it to do paper ballots -- but is moving forward anyway. It's not hard to figure out why.

šŸ—³ļø Take: I've seen some poorly run conventions, but the Minneapolis DFL convention might take the crown. Many delegates couldn't vote or their votes weren't counted on the first ballot, resulting in a total breakdown that undermined the democratic process.

Anyone that can not admit how deeply flawed the voting process was at the Minneapolis DFL Convention is 100% acting in bad faith. As a first time delegate, I had multiple conversations with other first timers and they all said they would never participate in a convention again.

" .... and help heal our increasingly polarized society, we need to learn how to be versatile—to communicate our ideas in a way that people who disagree with us will understand and be more inclined to consider. In pursuit of that, we’d all do well to give code-switching a try" šŸ‘‡

šŸš”: The DSA doesn’t want to reform the police—they want to abolish them. Same with prisons. Their platform calls for releasing all people from prisons. Their endorsed candidate won the DFL backing for mayor of Minneapolis. Read more below. šŸ“Ŗ -> mbrdkrb.com/40HaVE2

"If Democrats are serious about rebuilding trust—....—they must move beyond optics. Staged photo ops and ā€œFarmer Timā€ costumes won’t cut it. What’s needed is a sober acknowledgment of the growing threat posed by organized crime networks" ~ Terry White open.substack.com/pub/betterminn…

"This is not just a policy problem. It’s a credibility problem. Failing to protect vital programs from exploitation weakens public trust, damages the very people those programs are designed to help, and erodes the DFL’s claim to govern with competence and common sense" ~ T White
