1. Damn. I really like Klobuchar. She listens and is not so rigid she can't incorporate the views

of others in many areas, yet still stands up to the MAGATs and doesn't take Trump's misogynistic and crude bullshit. Her experience is vast and I don't blame her for being taken aback at the thought of nominating someone with zero practical experience to oppose her after decades of her work on behalf of DFL. Any accusations of being a "Corporatist," rings pretty hollow compared to the billionaire oligarchs on the "right."

I'm sure the fact that that individual was considered a "progressive activist" will bring some in to excoriate Klobuchar (and perhaps me for supporting her) but I really don't give a damn. There is a place for younger candidates and certainly more progressive idealists, but can we please not piss this upcoming election away? And yes, that INCLUDES governorships.
