Its wild to see strong progressive candidates like @omarfatehmn.com , incumbent MPRB at large @olsenforparks.bsky.social and myself (who got the most votes at convention) get DFL endorsed, but then the state party swoops in with a big eraser

"Asked what democratic socialism means to him, Fateh, whose first child was born last month, had a straightforward answer. "It’s pretty clear-cut," he said. "You want to take care of everyone."

Text reading: “Encouraged by a friend to attend a Democratic Socialists of America meeting, he went. At the meeting, he recalls, there were some disagreements among the members who favored getting involved in electoral politics and those who did not, a debate that he notes is still ongoing. But Fateh felt, then as now, that more unites than divides socialists. “We debate the process” of how to build a better world, he says, “but the vision is still the same.”” Text reading: “In 2020, the same year that Zohran Mamdani won his state assembly seat, Fateh ran for state senate as a socialist and won. There, Fateh has been a leader in the statewide push to democratize higher education, winning tuition-free college for all students with household incomes under $80,000. Because tuition is not the only economic barrier for working class people pursuing higher education, Fateh also pushed for and won stipends for childcare, transportation, housing, and food, as well as grants for colleges to establish food pantries for students as well as mental health support. For the first time in over a decade, in a time of declining college attendance nationwide, Minnesota has seen an increase in enrollment across all its public institutions.”

Maybe not competitive, but the people saying this might be thinking more about the governor race turnout affecting downballot state legislature races?
