Mpls moderates: The fact that Fateh came in 2nd is evidence he could NEVER have won.
Also Mpls moderates: The fact that Davis was knocked out in round 2 cause he had no mathematical path to victory proves he WOULD have won.

Must be so hard to be a moderate in mpls. All you want to do is vote good, but the Left forces you to vote Frey by organizing around who they agree with... if only it were possible to organize your own thing.

this analysis is strange in that it doesnt answer the fundamental question about Minneapolis voters - if Frey's multiple lies and polarizing ways were truly against their values and they were tired of it, why did they not choose Davis? www.startribune.com/jacob-frey-r...
Roper: Jacob Frey can thank the far left for handing him another term
Frey was a vulnerable incumbent. But progressives banked on the wrong guy to beat him.

2. Blaming the far-left for rallying around a candidate who matched their values is dumb. It wasn’t like they didn’t support the slate.
3. The real blame might be folks a lot like Eric Roper, or me … center-lefties. We never recovered from Koski leaving to lift up Davis/Hampton. We had no juice.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Hard to watch: @newsweek.com posted footage of masked ICE agents arresting 50-year-old grandmother Angela Gonzalez, who'd been here since she was 11. She had a pending VAWA application, but other than that, had no options for a green card since she got here too late for the Reagan amnesty.

One way to think about it:
The fundamental difference between being an immigrant and being a US citizen is that immigrants can be arrested, detained and deported for civil violations of immigration law.
Deportation is not a criminal penalty, it is a civil remedy for the civil violation.

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute.
Make sure he knows they're waiting to hear from him, too.

Think about this: If you're the president, you have the power to FREE NEARLY EVERYONE IN FEDERAL PRISON.
The fact that Biden has so far granted only 25 pardons and 132 commutations, despite receiving thousands of clemency petitions (1,296 for pardons and 10,567 for commutations) is UNCONSCIONABLE.
