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.

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...

Jacob Frey voters should be asked one abiding honest question, what thing would you hold him accountable for?

Awwww yeah! Congrats Amber!
Minneapolis- I’m so beside myself with feelings of gratitude and humility for the level of trust you’ve placed in me to be your next commissioner at-large! Workers and labor have has won. My deepest thank you to Union organizers and my fellow labor candidates who ran an incredible campaign. 🤍

I *wish* we could explain away a third term for jacob Frey as ranked choice voting’s fault. That would be weirdly comforting to me! But sometimes the truth is simpler—and pretty uncomfortable. We don’t do uncomfortable here. 🙁
My RCV take: It’s not preventing Minneapolis progressives from achieving desired city-wide results. It is actually showing that progressives are close even when not winning. And it’s affirming something about the electorate that we don’t understand, can’t accept, or don’t know what to do about.

Dammit I’m not even done being pissed about 2021 and Question 2! 😩 So many extraordinarily beautiful people and communities here, but we have a deep, lingering historical sickness of structural and overt racism in Mpls that too many folks are just plain unwilling to face

What I am saying is that a distressingly large chunk of the electorate was never going to be won over. For them, none of Frey’s failures and lies has been a dealbreaker, and wouldn’t be if we scrapped RCV. We have never reckoned with everything that led to George Floyd’s murder, and we still won’t

Good morning. I woke up at 7AM and have had a cup and a half of coffee already.
A lot of people outside Minneapolis probably are wondering what's going. What's happened to the "Midwest Mamdani"?
And a lot of people who just learned about us this year are probably confused. It's okay!
