(2,692 posts)31. He's right
We give in too easily to their talking points on issues like immigration, trans rights, policing, etc instead of holding strong to what we believe is right. We throw them a bone by hiring or saying we'll keep a few Conservative judges to look impartial to the general public. We should forget trying to please them or put food on their plate. They need to get up and get it their selves from now on.

OP
What does he mean by "breaking the norms"? An eviction freeze would go a long way toward walking the talk in MN rn.

I'd find it helpful if he had some examples of how he's doing that in MN

okay but like he could be doing this himself, yes? In Minnesota? Because I remember a lot of strongly worded statements

I think voters generally want and expect integrity from Democrats, but we've got to get control back first.

What would you have our Democrats do? I'm guessing you must have some PLAN of action...

Sure. I'm sure when you go to work you wait for random people to tell you how to effectively do your job.

Directive, organization, humanpower and follow-through. More is definitely needed.

That, and Dems need to understand that they are using a broken system to fix a broken system.

Oh, but strongly worded scolding of Democrats is really doing something. Everybody loves to be angry at Democrats.

It's perfect. Convince your enemy to spend its time attacking itself as the enemy.
