On a rainy October day, dozens of volunteers showed up at a Minneapolis park to grab campaign literature they would leave at voters’ doors, hoping to buoy up a Democratic socialist into the mayor’s office.
A handful of door-knockers ran into an apartment building to escape the rain, joining Omar Fateh, the mayoral hopeful sometimes dubbed the “Mamdani of Minneapolis”.
“We’re running on a campaign to make the city more livable, affordable and to protect all of our residents,” he told one voter, who said they hadn’t been following the race closely.
Two others who answered knew Fateh’s name and lent their support. “I think I’m planning on voting for you,” one man told Fateh.
Minneapolis voters will decide their next mayor on Tuesday 4 November.
Fateh, a 35-year-old who became state senator by ousting an incumbent, has gained attention for comparisons to Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist on track to win New York City’s mayoral contest. They’re both young, both part of the insurgent left, both Muslim, both state lawmakers. Their platforms, with a focus on affordability, align. Their campaigns tap into grassroots organizers with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Their races use ranked-choice voting, allowing for alliances against the incumbent.
Instead of a primary, Minneapolis holds caucuses and a city convention. Fateh earned the endorsement of the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, but it was then revoked by the state party after the electronic voting system failed to capture all votes in the contest, the Minneapolis DFL acknowledged, leaving the race without an endorsed candidate.
“One of the biggest benefits of the DFL endorsement is name recognition,” Fateh told the Guardian. “But that name recognition became far greater than what we ever could have gotten with the endorsement after they revoked it.”

Frey knelt and cried in public for the criminal Floyd. Twerked at the Juneteenth parade, and gave a speech speaking Somali, and waving their flag.
These are not Americans, nor Minnesotans, these are radical revolutionaries, subverting the Founders’ vision.
Minneapolis has indeed fallen.
And New York City.
Just like Commiefornia and Commierado.
That’s the sad truth.
“””These are not Americans, nor Minnesotans, these are radical revolutionaries, subverting the Founders’ vision.

That’s why we call it Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan.
There are four people running for the Democrat primary. Three of them are black in a city with only 18 black population.
Where are the Scandinavians that up until recently ran that city and the whole state, when you never heard of any crime or riots?
They are woke.
So if there's a power vacuum, don't be surprised if some other civilization happens to fill it.
