Minnesota's politics are wierd as gently caress sometimes. I think it's the only one that has elected multiple third party politicians (usually Green Party) to office in the 20th century.

how the gently caress can you elect a wrestler to run your loving state?

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

100% if it aint an insider you vote for.

Friendly reminder that Donald Trump is also a professional wrestler.

and whats the loving deal with trying to smear the DNR when you get caught giving a blowie to a fellow legislator? you dont loving call a cop a liar; you ask god for forgiveness and you defund the agency which the officer works for until such a time as the officer offers a mea culpea that he actually saw nothing and is so sorry for all the trouble hes caused

like, how the gently caress can you trust a state to govern itself when its legislators put their marriages ahead of ratfucking with money?

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

River runoff is actually a huge issue which will only continue to grow in rate of incidents in Minnesota, as the state continues to be deforested since more farms = more points for poop runoffs

It's an issue in IL with a few Members of Congress being responsible for some mass die-offs in their local rivers

i really like this thread, thanks for opening a window into this whole process. i guess i'd go for the establishment liberal with experience. the system wins again

is this your first time running for and serving as a delegate? do you see anything coming out of this in terms of connections or otherwise finding areas of future political engagement through the process? i'm too lazy to do this poo poo so i'm interested in your experiences

its a good window into 2018, when theres an open governor race and a shitload of candidates

The problem is it looks like nothing from more than 10 feet away. It's just a bunch of tiny poo poo in the middle of a sheet. Look at the Chicago flag. That's a good flag. Not this slap a some clipart on a call it a day.

Still better than the Wisconsin flag.

of course chicago has a good flag, chicago almost had the best flag because chicago's flag reminds me of israel's flag

All conventions and caucuses should be decided by a lefse/lutefisk eating contest.

I brought lefse to my convention.

Guess who's now a superdelegate.

Food wins votes. First thing ya should do when moving to a region is find the fastest route to make friends with brewery owners.

Two Minnesotans and a Chicagoan walk into a room
Diametrically opposed, foes
They emerge with a compromise
Having opened doors that were previously closed

The Chicagoan emerges with unprecedented financial power
A system he can shape however he wants
The Minnesotans emerge with state's Gubernatorial nomination

And heres the piece d'resistance

Nobody else was in the room where it happens, when it happens.

I arranged the meeting.
I arranged the lefse,
Arranged the drinking.

Migf approaches with Chicagoan insight
Minnesotans approach with Minnesota niceness
I propose we solve one problem with another
And win a victory for the Democrats

MIGF
WHAT DID THEY SAY TO YOU
TO GET YOU TO SELL CHICAGO DOWN THE RIVER

DOES HIZZONAH KNOW YOU'VE SOLD CHICAGO DOWN THE RIVER

I wanna build something that's gonna outlive my political life.

I, wanna be in the room where it happens
In the room when it happens.
I, wanna be in the room where it happens
In the room when it happens.

I

wanna be in the room

Where it happens

I WANNA BE

I GOTTA BE

I GOTTA BE

The art of the compromise
Hold your nose and close your eyes
God I loving love the Democratic party. Aren't we so motherfucking awesome?

God, wouldn't it be so loving great if only there was a Hamilton-level quality of production for all the Founding Fathers?

Was talking with some folk recently. Apparently, there is a lot of room to cut MNDoT's budget and get rid of some useless folk who demand thruput with no concern of anything else other than "BUT MY REAR END COLLISSION STATS!!!!"

What I'm saying is we should save this state a boatload of money while making others money, reducing health disparities, all while SLOWING THE MOTHERFUCKING RATE OF TRAFFIC AND GETTING MORE FOLK TO WALK.

And fire anyone who disagrees in MNDoT.

tl;dr is that I am motherfucking going to stack MNDoT with the right people so loving hard that nobody will see it coming until we've made our outstate communities so loving great.

If you work in MNDoT and I ask you, 'How many heroin addictions will be prevented with your proposed lane width and throughput per hour,' you should be able to not only answer in number of cases based upon the relevant public health and community development literature, but also be able to tell me how much money you'll save the state over 5, 10, and 20 years from opiate addict prevention.

I can do it; I have done it; I am doing it; why aren't you, MNDoT?

.......Polymet

the gently caress is that? Some Minnesota State poo poo?

I will tell you how I feel: I feel that there is so much opportunity, and so much failure to go after it because folk keep going with their gut rather than going with hard evidence and data.

gently caress your Minnesota gut, I go with numbers. MNDoT cares about things; I care about people. MNDoT asks first how many rear-end collisions happen; I ask first how many pedestrian collisions happen. I care about people more than I care about things, and we can save so much loving money while revitalizing and integrating our communities when we quit giving a poo poo about things and put people first and foremost in our thoughts.

Also I loving love being able to walk around on my land and pick wild rhubarb right outta the gently caress'n ground. So loving tasty when ya pick it yourself. So loving tasty.
