@StayWonked Well the fear is catching and motivating. Introverted me and my introverted husband are door knocking in Wisconsin tomorrow. The fear of a Trump presidency is greater than our fear of talking to a few strangers. Here we go!
@M_Mills21@robin4mpls@IlhanMN I don’t love the open primaries because it allows for dismissive takes like this one- which don’t help her become a more inclusive rep. If you’re talking to voters across the 5th, not just in her bubble, you’ll hear a lot of Dems voicing concerns about her work as a rep.
@ConnorjMN@KamalaHarris@Tim_Walz I’m glad Rep. Omar won, but she lost 44% of active voters - and more in her last primary- in our heavily Democratic district. What’s the disconnect with those voters and what adjustments are being made to reach them and represent them?
@M_Mills21@robin4mpls@IlhanMN Klobuchar won 92% of the same voters. That’s a race that wasn’t close. Glad Rep. Omar won, but she lost 44% of voters in a heavily Democratic district- and more in her last primary. I hope she’s looking into why she’s missing so many voters and is open to making adjustments.
@IlhanMN 44% of District 5 voters put in the effort to vote for someone else. This doesn’t feel like an overwhelming win. It feels like there’s a disconnect between you and nearly half of the district you represent. Voted for you but not without reservations.
@keithellison@IlhanMN@Ilhan Voted for her, but not without reservation. Looking for her to evolve as a representative and tune into what it means to represent ALL of the 5th District.
Thinking about how it would be reported if the ex-president of a non-Western country was ruled immune from prosecution by a panel of judges he himself appointed
@ModestTeacher Disagree. Student apathy comes from feeling like no one cares about them and what they’re doing. My students know I am paying attention and am going to ask for their best. Most adults in their lives are checked out- partially or fully. The kids aren’t the only screen addicts.

@farhofarho@TheresaKentner@thequeengeek Democracy dies. It’s happened all over the globe and throughout history. There’s a loftiness to thinking we can have our protest votes and still wind up with leaders who will do the most good for the most people after the general election. How’d we get Trump in the first place?
