This is what happens when Dems refuse to do anything to help...
Idiots vote Republican because things will change. Almost never changes for the better (gotta go back to like Lincoln lol) but shit does change with a Republican.
If Dems who wanted to help could make it past the neoliberals in the primaries, all of these people would still be voting D.
Luckily Ken Martin hasn't been the type to stand in the way of the type of candidates dem voters want. He's the whole reason Minnesota is blue, let alone progressive.
Nearly four months into the legislative session, Democrats in the state have already tackled protecting abortion rights, legalizing recreational marijuana and restricting gun access — and they have signaled their plans to take on issues like expanding paid family leave and providing legal refuge to trans youths whose access to gender-affirming and other medical care has been restricted elsewhere.
“These [policies] are things that have a direct and clear impact on improving people’s lives,” U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn, said. “And that’s what Minnesotans are looking for. They’re looking for evidence — just as voters are nationally — that the government that they elect can deliver results for them.”
Compare that to "Dem stronghold" states where most voters hate their incumbents, and the incumbents are routinely more conservative than the Dem party platform.
