Shit is going down in Minnesota but they’ve never been more organized than they are now. Only we keep us safe.

  • We focus so much on the higher-profile races and don’t put forward enough city council, school board, state House races, etc.,

    I don’t think it’s a lack of interest or understanding that change comes from the bottom. I think it’s more insidious than that. A lot of people on the left cannot afford to run for office in their city, nor get the time off of work to campaign.

    There is also a lack of third spaces where people can talk to each other face to face. So few people can disagree or come to consensus now without it feeling like a personal attack. There’s a really good book I read “High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out” by Amanda Ripley

    It’s not about being complicit, nor is it about giving Nazis space in the general culture. However it is about talking to people you don’t agree with and listening to what they have to say and finding common ground on more school funding, more social services. Numbers are our strength and solidarity is our greatest weapon.


  • Sorry for the frustration in my voice but I’m kinda getting sick and tired of the ratchet effect happening in America. I hope something coalesces around a further left candidate than Klobachar, I know Ilhan Omar has some current talk around her, if she’d even run is another question. I know that for the US Minnesota does turn out the vote more than elsewhere nationally but there’s still a quarter of the population on average who don’t vote.

    All that being said, good luck to you and yours. A lot of what I’m hearing, and the people I’m organizing with are reinforcing the idea that we need more leftists in local politics. It’s only gonna change from the ground up.
