'Stain on Our Party': Ilhan Omar Condemns Minnesota Dems for Tossing Fateh's Mayor Endorsement

Ilhan Omar says the DFL's decision demonstrated the "clear tension between the progressive Democrats who are challenging the status quo and moderate Democrats."

We need to stop calling them "moderate" Democrats. We need to name them what they are because there's nothing moderate about them. They are conservative Democrats. They are basically 1980s Republicans.

It's not really our party, is it?

Just in case anyone thought "vote blue no matter who" ever actually meant something. This is happening a lot lately.

Minnesota is such a land of contrast. Rural parents will accept a gay son no problem but the second someone mentions a non-Christian, it's World War 3.

As a result, access to party voter rolls, which usually only go to the candidate endorsed by the DFL, will now be given to everyone, which could considerably hurt Fateh's chances of unseating Frey.

Can someone explain to this European why this is so bad?

I can understand that the rolls only going to the incumbent will make unseating them harder.

Shouldn’t the rolls be given to any candidate, so it’s a fair competition? (Under the weird US voting system)
