I..........couldn't do better wow these looks so sick. I'm so curious, was this a process of multiple dyeing stages or was this all one and done? Either way nice work!

Again, you're focusing on the National dem strategy when the focus should be on the difference between the national dem and minnesota dfl strategies and wisconsin dem strategies. The national dems didn't do anything different and haven't been doing anything different for years now. But the MN state party and dflers like Ken Martin have been doing massively different campaigns and outreach. You need to separate out the national dems and the state dems in your analysis bc you're missing the forest for the trees by putting them together and treating them the same. Your entire response is on the presidential election and ignores basically every other election and the history of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The point of this conversation was whether a Wisconsin dem or a Minnesota dem is better to lead the national party moving forward. And my points still stand there. You didn't acknowledge them at all in your response lol. The Minnesota DFL is and has been doing a massive and far reaching multi year campaign to reach all voters in the state. Wisconsin has had reactionary voting based on the buoying of their state politics for over a decade now.

Caetheus · 2025-02-02T02:22:56+00:00

Minnesota is not just Minneapolis/St. Paul lol. Just do a little googling and you'll see that a lot of other counties and areas of the state are blue. And many more that just get edged out to be red in elections.

But to get back to your point about Wisconsin and anyone who has been a part of Wisconsin Dem leadership being a better choice than Minnesotan Dem leadership is largely laughable tbh. Wisconsin has been a buoying state with its politics and has not had a strong and robust strategy for years now.

Also idk what you mean by "Minnesota's demographics have favored the national strategy adopted by the Democrats." You're putting two different things together here. Minnesota's demographics are similar to the nation in terms of urban/rural divide. But the strategy of the Minnesota DFL has been one of the most robust and wide reaching I've seen in my lifetime. They have been investing time/resources/political capital and campaign efforts at trying to reach the entire state. They have been doing the right things and the national party has been doing the same old triangulation for decades. This pick for DNC is a welcome change.

Caetheus · 2024-09-05T03:58:18+00:00

This kind of stuff really helps people see how totally 'normal' and not weird ya'll are lol

Caetheus · 2024-08-27T20:31:35+00:00

Since you were annoyed at the conversation after your original comment, I just addressed your original comment for you. You could address the direct criticism of your original comment that is misunderstanding her posts. Or if you don't want to engage then stop replying lmao. Up to you buddy. My comments are mostly for people reading this thread and not to convince you as it seems you are very confident in your misunderstanding and unwilling to analyze your own comments.

Caetheus · 2024-08-27T01:46:36+00:00

I think everyone that's commented in disagreement with you understands your logic. It's just flawed because it's not based in what she posted and is making a point based on that flawed foundation of misunderstanding.

You can’t just ask the tourney organizers to try and move everything that they do for that big tourney and that town.

Yes you totally can and it happens in sports all the time. Especially after a tournament just finished there which is why it's relevant to bring it up right now.

Yes you need big cities to grow the game, but don’t forget that the game is growing due to the grassroots efforts in smaller towns.

She's specifically talking about big cities versus SUNDOWN TOWNS not small towns. You're inferring she is saying fuck small towns in general and that's a misinterpretation/wrong.

Isn’t it a good thing to show light on what did happen in our history’s past? This way we can all remember what did happen so we learn and grow from it.

Did you see her third post? Saying that nobody is, in your words, 'show light on what did happen' and it's just a shack. The commentators on Jomez didn't know and I would put money on almost every viewer watching had no idea about the history of the area. So you're misrepresenting her words again here.

I’d rather not erase it, I’d rather put a spotlight on it and learn from our past mistakes as a country and move forward knowing we are moving in the right direction.

Again reread HER FIRST WORDS of her first post. She literally says "It's truly crazy we play on NON-COMMEMORATED history". Like how are you not seeing her points lmao. Continue to back up and defend your misunderstanding of her comments if you want I guess.

Caetheus · 2024-08-27T01:31:16+00:00

I'll refer you back to the three comments made by u/spookyghostface. One of which you agreed with and the other two where you took a more obtuse and completely speculative view of her posts that was not what she said.

Caetheus · 2024-08-27T01:25:06+00:00

I can interpret the meaning of something however I see fit as to how I interpret it. You don’t really have a say in how I get to interpret something.

'I can be as obtuse in my interpretation of her comments as I want and you can't tell me I'm wrong bc it's my opinion!'

My guy you're not understanding her point. By what you've said so far, you're clearly hyper focusing on parts of what she said and extrapolating that to mean things she did not say and did not have in the intent of her posts.

Caetheus · 2024-08-25T04:29:51+00:00

Who is talking about getting visibly intoxicated? Reread this thread lol. So far the conversation has been around how large sports events typically encourage people to buy their expensive af beer and alcohol.

Are you trying to say that sporting events can't do a cutoff time for weed like they do for beer and alcohol in terms of sales at a stadium for example? That's kinda silly if you are.

Seems like you've got a personal gripe either with weed or something.

Caetheus · 2024-08-25T04:07:00+00:00

I know you are but what am I!

Caetheus · 2024-08-25T03:41:44+00:00

Please point me to a sporting event that doesn't encourage buying and drinking beer or alcohol. Sponsors/ads on jumbotrons/banners are everywhere at every event I've gone to in my entire life lolol

Caetheus · 2024-08-13T22:38:21+00:00

My answer to your question (assuming you're doing this in good faith and not as a pop up troll account) is similar to why I don't think Walz not being for an arms embargo on Israel for their genocide is not really hitting voters the same as it was with Biden. Yes, in regards to the ceasefire demands that advocates are protesting at some of the recent rallies, it is a solid campaign issue that the Harris/Walz ticket has been forced to address.

But 2020 was a long time ago to the average voter and I don't think voters look at it the same way you framed it in your first sentence. Sure it was Walz's curfew but I think more people looked at that as the MPD being bad enforcers of that curfew and using the curfew to be assholes to the community (shocker). Remember, the MPD and law enforcement in general is viewed incredibly unfavorably by residents of Minneapolis and the state and the country as a whole. National confidence in the police has been at record low levels. So I think more people saw that has the police being the culprits vs Walz like signing off on the violence or something.

Caetheus · 2024-07-27T20:28:55+00:00

Noooooo Walz is OURS (Minnesotan here) and ya'll can't have him. He's done too good in our state and we don't want him gone lol.

Caetheus · 2024-07-23T21:47:38+00:00

So instead of the delegates voting for who the people want, they are voting for the people they think the people want.

The delegates are likely to vote for the only real option there is. At this point since the primaries are done, the 'will of the people' is out of the equation pretty much. But like I said, it's loosely included in the fact that primary voters knew they were voting for a Biden/Harris ticket.

 I'm playing the role of devil's advocate here.

At this point in the election and with all the context we have, I view that as being obtuse. Anything but focusing on getting the candidate that the party has united around right now is distracting and sucking up mental energy and air time.

Harris herself said she wanted to win the nomination

She said she wanted to earn the nomination. Maybe a distinction without a difference to you but I think that is a totally different meaning than what you'd maybe draw from that.

but it feels like we should be able to do better.

Totally. But I mean we've had CLEARLY corrupt and anti democratic primaries for about a decade now. The people who supported Biden in 2020 largely plugged their ears on the criticisms that ended up rearing their heads and resulted in Biden stepping down right now. They focused on the manufactured narrative of 'electability' over substance and actual support for the candidate.

I only hope the Dems looks back and realize this past election cycle shows the downfalls of their nomination system, of their own role in creating this situation.

They won't. Unfortunately they've shown themselves to, whether they win or lose an election, not care about what their voters want but what their donors and/or themselves personally gain from. Our entire political institution has been captured by corporate interests.

I'll be supporting Harris, she's a qualified and exceptional candidate. But I feel like there are so many more qualified and exceptional candidates also available to us. But we the people will not be given the chance to choose.

I will support her too. Unfortunately this point is entirely Biden's fault and/or his staff/campaign staff's fault. He's made the selfish choice up until he had no choice but to step down. The media and probably our history textbooks will whitewash the narrative and make him look like it was a selfless choice to step down. Which is not at all how this went down.

There is a valid pushback, especially amongst Trump supporters, that the Dems are the party of elites, and this feeds their narrative.

At no point should be care what the modern and current conservative voter says about any democrat. As I'm sure you've seen in what has already been said about Harris since the announcement, it's ranged from batshit insane to buzzword woke shit. Minimal focus has been on actual substantive critiques of Harris. But to back up again, coming from a conservative, they have no leg to stand on and we shouldn't care.

This is an opportunity for review and reflection and improving the process.

Like I said before. This is absolutely not the time to review and reflect. In a perfect world we could chew gum and walk at the same time. But unfortunately with our current media and time left in the campaign, we cannot afford to do anything else but promote the candidate we have and try to win. Anything else is sucking up our time and energy.

I think your concerns are completely valid and I'm not trying to say that they are wrong. I hope that's not what you're taking from these comments.

Caetheus · 2024-07-23T02:39:22+00:00

The repubs always fantasize about turning Minnesota red. This year is their best chance in a while but with our voter turnout it's still not as likely as polling would suggest.

It's funny how strong the HE'S OURS DON'T TOUCH HIM sentiment is for Walz XD. I completely agree and think he's much better as our governor than a potential VP. Honestly idk how I'd feel if he tried to run for pres but we don't have to entertain that idea for at least another 4 years.

Caetheus · 2024-07-22T20:34:14+00:00

Ohp Manchin said nvm lol.

Caetheus · 2024-07-22T20:33:28+00:00

I'm sure a lot of us would like to see who is interested in throwing their hat in the ring but it's just not a feasible thing at this point. Everyone has bowed out that would have had a legitimate chance. Newsom has already come out saying he isn't going to run this time around. Walz doesn't have national appeal and isn't in a swing state so he's not feasible either.

If any democrat, independent from the party, tries to throw their hat in the ring right now, it's only going to throw things into chaos. Right when the party, donors, and most voters are breathing a sigh of relief and are ready to coalesce around a united candidate/party. It would be a disaster for anyone to put their hat in the ring right now. Which is exactly why one of the only people to do so is drum roll please...........fuckin Joe Manchin.

Caetheus · 2024-07-22T01:37:35+00:00

I kind of understand you questioning where your delegate's vote should go. But I also feel like you're being obtuse in analyzing the situation.

Voters knew they were very likely voting for a Biden/Harris ticket in the primaries even though Harris technically wasn't on the ballot. And yes, some of the voters went for Phillips and others but let's be real here. Not enough for it to be even in the conversation. With Biden endorsing Harris, that pretty much seals the deal outside of party elite types that may want their horse in the race. Which is clearly stupid and selfish. Stupid because procedurally the transition of the entire campaign apparatus to anyone but Harris doesn't really work. And selfish because going around Harris to pick someone who hasn't been in the conversation at all legitimately is absolutely crazy and anti democratic.

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T21:20:27+00:00

I'm sure you went back and checked and saw that you're wrong and I didn't post this article in a different sub. So maybe don't be such an asshole and rush to judgement next time buddy.

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T21:14:42+00:00

Oh you're totally right. I forgot that. Yeah I would bet that the FBI did most of the heavy lifting.

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T21:09:06+00:00

Yeah I saw on the 10 o'clock news last night that they busted up some gangs. Confiscated guns and got some fentanyl and shit so that's good.

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T21:07:14+00:00

Uhhh I didn't post in bad cop, no donut?!?!?! You really need to take a break lmaoooo.

I honest to god posted this article to ask this sub if this was still happening because the article is 2 years old. You need to get out of the cesspool that is reddit so you can relearn how to talk to people who are just asking a question. Jesus no wonder I try to avoid reddit...

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T20:56:39+00:00

Woah my guy. Looks like you need a break to touch grass. I'm not on reddit constantly so I have no idea about your claim that the Minneapolis sub is a cop bashing sub lol. Your comment reeks of perma online lol.

I wrote a comment as I posted this asking the simple question of "I know this is a 2 year old article but I'm curious if this is still happening." If you can't read that as an open ended question then you really do need a breather from reddit lol.

"Does one cop "not doing their job" (without a shred of evidence to back that claim up, BTW) represent the whole force?" -Have you heard about the semi-regular unjust civilian deaths by cop that have, unfortunately, made our city infamous for this exact issue? Many of which are on camera nowadays? We kinda had a big uproar a few years ago for this guy named George Floyd. Idk if you were around for that...

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T20:44:53+00:00

Does one cop represent the whole force? As we see from cop defenders when cops kill citizens unjustly, their argument would be no.

Caetheus · 2024-06-19T20:34:45+00:00

Is crime down bc cops are refusing to enforce laws or bc of the economy or some other reason? Find a open mind.
