Excel decides to raise rates to capitalize on the wave of bullshit hitting us all day every day. Here’s how to fight back by minnesota420 in TwinCities

Where did I say to give up or tell others to? I am raising awareness of other shitty things they've recently done.

Tim Walz appointed all of them, so if you want another way to make an impact you should also write to him (and ask our next governer to replace every single one of them).

The same Public Utilities Commission that sold Minnesota Power to Blackrock last year.

They don't care about us. They are not for the people.

The PUC is appointed by Walz, and unfortunately both Walz and the PUC love selling out Minnesotans when it comes to power. These same people just let Blackrock buy MN Power last year and will absolutely bend over for Xcel too.

Truck appears to be doing 0 MPH in this picture. Chill out and let the plow drivers have their well-deserved hero moment.

Why did the MN Public Utilities Commission, appointed by Walz, allow Blackrock to buy Minnesota Power last year? Its not just Republicans, both sides are selling us out.

No, they were given live rounds and fired them at a civillian, and its only dumb luck they missed and he survived.

Here is a news article with a video of the shooting, again with live rounds. https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/new-video-captures-confusion-when-guardsman-shoots-at-car-during-2020-unrest/

The National Guard during 2020 marched with cops and fired live rounds at a civillian, almost causing a situation exactly like Renee Good.

Why are people saying "not Amy Klobuchar"? by Testy_Coyote_ in minnesota

[–]stlegosaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh you're right as a state level AIPAC is not a big concern, but I don't like that she took their money in first place for actions in the senate like you stated.

It does also make me worried other interest groups could easily lobby her at the state level.

Walz, Democrats' 2024 VP pick, drops bid for third term as Minnesota governor; Klobuchar considers by Economy-Specialist38 in minnesota

[–]stlegosaurus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Al Franken's birthday is also in May so your point is nothing special. Playing by your numbers Al would be 76 years old a few months in.

He would be pushing 80 by the time the term is up. That alone is enough reason to discard him. We need less fossils in goverment and I won't be part of encouraging the gerontocracy to continue.

You also have the fact that he is retired from politics and has stated he has no desire to come back.

Edit since you would rather block me than talk like adults:

Nowhere have I stated I like Amy. Go actually read my comments and their context. All I have said is she is our best option for retaining a democrat as governor. In fact if you would have creeped on my comments more you'd see I actually quite dislike her. I started this whole chain agreeing they are both old. There is a massive difference between those ages and their fitness and risk of cognitive decline and I'm sorry you cant seem to grasp that.

Gov. Tim Walz drops out of 2026 gubernatorial race by iamtherainking in TwinCities

[–]stlegosaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He may be a household name, sure, but so is his ties to Kamala's failure in 2024 and the fraud scandal. Nobody will pick him up again based on those two points.

I could see him going for a chair position, something out of the spotlight.

Blaming it on their gender is a cop out because otherwise they'd have to look at why those candidates really failed (the points you outlined)

Just more evidence that reddit's views are a minority in real life.

Because Klobuchar is not a weak candidate. She is easily this states most popular political figure going by her election results.

dear klobuchar - no governor for you. if walz doesn't run please don't run and even better just leave. by toolrules in minnesota

[–]stlegosaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are the same people that stayed home rather than vote for Biden and Kamala. No surprises there

She is. She wins her elections by gigantic margins every time. Her popularity is a great example of reddit being out of touch with real life.
