    The state party committee also took the significant step of barring Minneapolis Democrats from endorsing candidates by any other means in the weeks ahead, through its executive committee or otherwise. And the committee told city Democrats they cannot hold another 2025 mayoral endorsing convention as they will remain on probation for two years.

    Sorry voters, you chose the wrong candidate, now you get to go in the timeout corner for 2 years while you think about your mistake death-to-the-poor

    “VOTE BLU NO MATER WHO!”*

    *Terms and condions may apply.

    Supporters of incumbent Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allege there were widespread problems with the July convention’s electronic voting system, among other issues.

    At a hearing on the challenges earlier this week, Minneapolis DFL officials maintained the state party should not intervene because Frey supporters couldn’t prove the system breakdowns impacted the outcome of the final delegate count during the convention, suggesting Frey would have still lost to Fateh, according to Axios Twin Cities.

    A draft report released by the committee notes the challengers to Fateh’s endorsement did not have to prove alleged violations, or system breakdowns, would have led to a different outcome for the challenges to be examined by the state party.

    The only reason Mamdani was allowed a more or less fair race was because he wasn’t perceived as a threat when his campaign started. Anyone else challenging any Dem seat from the left has to assume that the Dem party is their enemy every bit as much as the Rep party is.

    Lol. Frey is a scumbag. Had the displeasure of meeting him while he was going around shaking hands during his first run; absolutely terrible vibes- and unfortunately that gut-perception has been spot on as usual
