We can’t overlook this reason for optimism: the DSA-aligned council members no longer have a supermajority. Frey’s veto will be enough to stop ridiculous idealistic legislation.
"It would be good for Minneapolis if the heated rhetoric of the campaign season gave way to collaboration and a shared focus on progress". Agreed! The heated attacks and red-baiting of the DSA candidates did not work here and did not work in New York City. Democratic socialists are not extremists or communists (far left). Let's move past the alienating polemics, anger, and divisiveness and strive for a city that serves ALL its residents: renters, homeowners, and those without shelter. Wellstone's mantra still resonates: "We all do better, when we all do better."
