Running a campaign on finding common ground with the people who are forcibly occupying your state's largest city?
Fuck off, fossil.
Yeah the common ground comment grinded my gears, too. What exactly is the common ground left?
The big donors who pay both conservative Democrats like Klobuchar and Republicans for screwing over regular people.
She has some nerve showing her face in this city, let alone asking for our vote. Fuck this collaborator.
Boo! She's an embarrassment of a senator and she'd be a worse governor. "Centrist" ass useless Democrat
FFS, please someone primary her. Friend worked on her staff for a while and the friend literally had to go to therapy over it .
Screw Klobuchar
She's a do nothing centrist. So fucking sick of Democrats shifting to the right
This regime is so far to the fascist right that a centrist Democrat is the same as a Bush Republican.
They're useless.

If the comments in this thread and what I've heard from others in MN are any indication, good fucking luck Klobuchar.
Who can we platform to challenge her? I'm open to any suggestions.
Ilhan Omar.
Not only is she right (and votes what she says) about just about every single policy issue, she's also proven without a doubt that she's every bit the fighter Centrist bloviators pretend to be, what with enduring the constant scapegoating from both Republicans and her own party as well as hardly breaking her stride after being attacked by a MAGA cultist
And before you go "but she's too divisive! No Republicans or swing voters would vote for her!", the vast majority of them wouldn't vote for Klobuchar either, and she (Omar) would bring out the base several times better.
The only way the Dems win is if they move left.
No! Left!

Primaries are coming up in a couple weeks. We need to primary her
Sure, who do you see as a good candidate to get some momentum behind to do that?
Ilhan Omar.
See my comment above for a quick and dirty couple of reasons why its nowhere near as far fetched as the billionaire-owned media would claim.
I'd love to see that, especially after that community meeting that got disrupted
She's outperformed other Democrats in the years she's run, so not sure if relying on this platform is a good representation of our state.
As for other challengers, I'm not sure. Not a lot of other higher-profile DLFers that haven't already thrown their hat into other races.
and what I’ve heard from others in MN are any indication,
I'm not basing anything solely on this thread. Do you know or can you think of any politician that could be platformed to primary her, or for a challenge run for Gov?

ALL other Democrats or just the ones she's been up against?
Because she's never been up against Ilhan Omar, let alone at the perfect time for a progressive firebrand to run, what with fascist murderers running riot on the streets of Minneapolis using money Klobuchar voted to give them.
She's gotten a higher vote total than other Democrats that have been up for election in the years that she's run in. Her margins have been noticeably higher.
That said, I would love a much more DFL (rather than just Democrat) candidate that could post good state-wide numbers. The challenge is in finding them.
I'd vote for Omar in a second, but the Fox News-ification of outstate MN will make it challenging to say the least, unfortunately. It would really take a dedicated messaging team to even start to undue the propaganda against her.

She’s an Israeli asset and a traitor. She always votes to give Israel a blank check
Gross
Oh, hell
I'd rather Jesse Ventura or Al Franken run. Bleh 😩
He's good enough he's smart enough and gosh darn it people like him.
Jesse ain't got time to bleed, but could go one more term.
Franken was done so dirty. He needs to get back into it.
I have zero confidence that Klonuchar represent any departure from the exact cowardice and capitulation that democrats seemingly always practice and has resulted in a fascist takeover.
You haven't been taking on Trump yet so there is little confidence you will once given power. Withholding your opposition until you're given power is just you lying.
Nnnooooooooo
Someone please primary her into irrelevance, this is absolutely the wrong moment for someone like Klobuchar to do anything.
I mean, of course she is. She didn't convince Waltz to retire just for fun.
Ugh.
Now, now think of the visual: the little stress-ball binders she throws out at the crowd - could be fun.
But srs someone step in please. We got ~~9 months.~~ 10 minutes.
Ew.
Could we please have candidates from Gen Z?
Us millennials and these old remaining dinosaurs from 1950 should step aside and let the new generation lead.
I think is milenials are still good. For a few more years. Also, we are the only generation that can save files, and know where they went.
But more youngsters would be nice.
