From the Minneapolis Star Tribune earlier this week,
Tuesday’s Minneapolis election will be a battle among competing factions of Democrats.
Yes, the city is ruled by Democrats, but the politics are largely split between moderates and a more progressive wing, anchored by a growing faction of democratic socialists like Sen. Omar Fateh, a candidate for mayor.
As I’ve framed the contest: it’s a competition between gradually and suddenly. Frey, the two-term incumbent, represents the moderate wing, opting for a continued long and slow decline. Fateh offers the “suddenly” option of immediate collapse and utter devastation.
And by “utter devastation,” I mean that there will be no inhabitable multi-story buildings within the city limits by the end of Fateh’s first term. Looters will be looting looters.
Which to choose? As reporter Deena Winter points out, it will be fun to watch,
Adding spice to the stew: The factions don’t get along well. Decorum has deteriorated to the point where council members openly attack each other and the mayor from the dais, on social media and at public events, such as when Council Member Aisha Chughtai lobbed expletives at Frey from a concert stage in August.
Even if the socialists prevail on Tuesday, don’t expect that to change. It’s Mensheviks vs. Bolsheviks and no one is ever pure enough for the Bolsheviks, even their own members. Especially their own members.

Nice people are sympathetic to unmitigated immigration.
Isn’t Walz the governor up there?
Our ruling class imported tens, if not hundreds of thousands of third world people, most of them Muslims.
The DemonRats think the mussies will be easy to tame. Easier than importing troublesome euro honkies.
It’s where the “Lost Boys” of Somalia were sent years ago. Now they have grown up and reproduced. People felt sorry for them, as they were usually kidnapped when young boys from their families and turned into young soldiers/raiders/pirates, used and abused by their Muslim captors. Sadly for them and for us, I don’t think they got the help they needed to counter what their captors did to them and taught them.
Obama
BINGO!
Frey supported Antifa, cheered and donated to BLM, praised and mourned George Floyd, and denounced Officer Chauvin.
And Frey's the moderate?
“IT’S THE SUDDEN STOP AT THE END”. Yep, that’s it, what’s terminal velocity?
Compared to his Somali socialist opponent, yes, he's the moderate.
Moderates.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Minnesota is a fine place. They are talking about an election in Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan.
The state sept decided Minnesota was too white.

Yes, Minnesota is indeed a nice place. Beautiful land and mostly nice, hard-working people. Politics in Minneapolis swamps the entire rest of the state, though.
Clinton and Bush imported all the skinnies from Blackhawk Down.

It’s probably that way in many states.
