Back on Super Tuesday I became a democratic undecided delegate for my Minnesota House of representatives district #60b, which is east-central Minneapolis. i'm not very familiar with state politics, so I want Goon help in deciding. We have http://www.phylliskahn.com/index.html Phyllis Khan, the incumbent V.S. http://ilhanomar.com Ilhan Omar the challegner I'm expecting a call from Phyllis Khan tomorrow night, the two issues that come into my head immediately are Police Shootings; the fact that runoff from Minnesota farmers in the Mississippi River causes a death zone in the Gulf of Mexico; and making sure our drinking water doesn't turn into Flint. How do I intelligently get her to address these FULL COMMUNISM NOW and Accelerationism suggestions need not apply.

oystertoadfish posted:im willing to be told like 'khan is the most important person in the legislature for defending all things that are good how dare you unseat her' but it feels like unless omar is like deeply obviously bad at legislating you should probably vote for her I can't for the life of me find the actual caucus results becuase the news is all about POTUS. In my precinct Khan won by 1 delegate with 3 undecided but I don't know about the rest of the district.

What is the likelyhood that the Ways and Means position will go to another Democratic even if it's not my own?

I just got a call from Ilhan Omar, talked about the following: -She says neither the DFL or the state or local governments did anything about that caucus assault, if Khan doesn't provide on hell of an explanation and evidence that she's done something against it I'm going to hold it against her. If this had happened in Chicago or Boston I would've thought that was a mafia attack. -She wasn't aware that the north American Vexillogical Association rated our flag 67/72 of state and Canadian province flags. https://nava.org/digital-library/design/surveys/2001-State-Provincial-Flag-Survey.pdf I asked her to look into the process by which Canada got it's new flag. -She believes in eliminating grand juries in order to make prosecuting cop shootings more effective and just. I'm going to ask around about this, because i don't necessarily believe her. -She wasn't familiar with what is called non-point source pollution and the fact that runoff from Minnesota and Mississippi river state farms causes a dead zone in the gulf of mexico. I didn't press her on this because I only asked on behalf of some environmentalist family members. As far as I care Louisiana and Mississippi can drink our cow poop water, gently caress them. I also got a vague idea of the delegate count, the numbers weren't with her at the time she called Ilhan has 141 or 52% of delegates Khan has 47 or 17% of delegates Muhammad noor has 9% (he wasn't at my caucus site so he can  )If no one gets 60% of delegates it goes to a primary

I forgot to update! two Fridays ago I got a call from KHAN! -She was much more informed about nuclear power. She was a bit slippery on why Minnesota should have a nuclear power moratorium; she said that there weren't good options for waste disposal, people informed about nuclear power know that this is an issue of bad law, not the limits of technology. - She was on the ball about non-point source pollution and gave the recent example of shooting down a Republican scam to poison the water https://d229l5sflpl9cp.cloudfront.net/static/vetotext/52478.pdf -She was ambivalent about grand juries, I have no reason to believe that she would vote against a Democratic majority in the issue. -She regrets being blase about the caucus violence. I couldn't think of anything she could have done to address that so I didn't push the issue. -She is an archliberal with an immaculate voting record and Omar has never brought up a policy issue in which they are in disagreement. She did mention that Omar never contacted her on any issue before running and never has any sort of feedback from her other than the fact that she began running for congress.

My Imaginary GF posted:why the gently caress does changing your flag seem like such a loving motivating issue in elections? It's something that can be easily done without passing taxes or passing new laws and poo poo. It's congress's job to get a good flag.

The prosecutor in the Jamal Clark case decided not to press charges, Khan called and said she believed he performed due diligence and approved that he didn't pass it off on a grand jury, I wonder what Ilhan will say about it.

The flag was adopted in 1893. it's on the illegible seal that no one loving reads.
