    People keep saying this election is 2016 all over again like that means anything anymore. Newsflash, every election from here on out will be 2016 all over again because it’s to the current DNCs benefit. As long as the republicans keep pushing fascists like trump and like desantis after trump croaks, the the DNC can put forward whoever they want and just keep saying “Vote for our genocidal police state endorsing corporate ass kissing old man or else you’re causing facism!”

    Something needs to be done about it. I don’t know what but this can’t keep happening. And before anyone asks if I’m voting biden, my presidential vote literally doesn’t matter in my state other than for maybe sending a message. The last time MN voted for a republican president was in 1972. Maybe a low amount of votes for biden in a democrat stronghold will send a message to the DNC because MN is going blue regardless.

      Something will. The DNC may become illegal. Or something.

      Remember, being a liberal, according to the plan, is un-American.

      I thought you were going to say California or New York. If you think Minnesota won’t be in play in November, you haven’t been paying attention to 2016 and 2020. Minnesota is not immune to rural grievance demographic shifts and it’s been too close for comfort lately. Please vote like your vote will actually affect the election.

        If MN goes red then you can sure as hell bet the swing states went red anyways. The only way MN goes red is if we were already fucked anyways which, to be fair, is looking increasingly likely.
