I’m considering voting for Richard painter in next weeks MN DEM primary. am I being a rube?

What is it about him that's making you consider voting for him? If it's his support for Medicare For All, why him and not of the several other people in the primary who support it?

I don't see a single goddamn reason to trust a self-proclaimed centrist who worked for George W. Bush, but maybe you see something I don't?

I'm personally still undecided there, but mostly leaning toward Smith, even though she's a bit succ. Nick Leonard seems all right, though he calls himself The True Progressive a few too many times for my liking. Ali Chehem Ali's heart seems to be in the right place, at least, and I'm kind of leaning toward him too, even though I think I have about as much chance of getting the nomination as he does.

The conflict of interest stuff is hysterical. The most insane part is with digital firms that are scraping percentages of fundraising off email fundraising and digital ad buys on top of 8k/m retainers. It's loving extortion, but there's only a small number of digital firms so they get away with it.

Many people ITT could probably be millionaires if they know even the basics of digital marketing.

"digital marketing" aka buying facebook ads and astroturfing reddit

remember when tremps campaign got some facebook sales that worked on-site to help them use facebook ads expertly and the hillary campaign was given the same offer but turned it down because they wouldnt be able to skim off a percentage of the ad buys that way

he talks some about MFA, criticizes Smith about rolling back medic device taxes, supports more mass transit, and loathes YIMBY. also publicly pro choice, pro lgbtq issues, and wants to poo poo down the nickel mine.

Leonard is also on my radar but he hasn’t gotten very much into specifics. seems to mostly be a generic progressive but outly gay

Painter's getting talked about a lot though it's hard for me to tell how much is serious competition and how much is just the media demanding a horse race. (If I were just blindly looking at positions, yeah, he looks good on paper. I super don't want Minnesota Nice Joe Manchin, though.)

That said, I think Smith'll probably be the nominee, and will probably win the general election.

Klobuchar isn't going anywhere, more's the pity.

The District 5 House race is almost an embarrassment of progressive riches, by comparison. Though also a "former" republican in the mix because of course there is. I'm almost positive it's gonna be Ilhan Omar, though.

Dear Succ Zone,

Should I vote for Literal Convicted Murderer Leonard Richards in the MN Senate Primary instead of Amy Klobuchar?

(He's actually the technical best of the four people primarying her, in that I can find nothing on his political positions whatsoever, though one presumes he has thoughts on prison reform.)

Also not sure yet who I'm voting for in the election for Al Franken's old Senate seat yet, except probably not the dude who worked for the Bush Administration.

vote prison reform

let me tell you, this IT career bullshit is for the birds

If I could do it all over I'd start going to young democrat meetings at 16, canvassing for succ dems at 17 and take the rear end-kissing liberal arts school route at 18 to become a DNC consultant right out of college. Weathermen look at politicial consultants and think "wow I wish I could be wrong that much and still keep my job"

note: This isn't strictly dem specific as there are plenty of equally lovely GOP consultants, see Jeb! LCD mailers

yeah but think about how much rear end kissing you have to do with the worlds most insufferable morons?

like sure yeah it pays a lot of money for doing next to no work, but it'd be exactly like working at the deli counter and having some middle age woman yelling at you to make the slices thinner
