73. Get other progressives to vote!
Wed Aug 27, 2014, 07:20 PM
Aug 2014

I know progressives in the Twin Cities who dislike the DFL; the party is not "pure" enough for them. If they have a Green living in their Minnesota house district (legislature) they will vote for that candidate. I can't change that. But the rest of us need to show up on Election Day and vote DFL! I am very impressed with what a DFL government has achieved in the last two years. I am new to Minnesota, and really like the politics here. In no way should the GOP take power again!
