teamgreen02 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Election day tomorrow. Locally it is the Minneapolis mayor, city counsel, and their proposal to replace the police with a department of "public safety" (which I'm sure will pass). Dems about to get wrecked in Virginia with the governors race. If Virginia elects a Republican to statewide office, 2022 is going to be a landslide.

Bontz Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You absolutely know the morons we have in this state (MN) will vote blue ... the ones in the Cities anyway. I'm sure Frey will live to see another term and all of the liberal proposals will go through without a lot of pushback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't go anywhere near the place. And the current Mayor Small Frey would be the best option they have - he's actually come out AGAINST that #2 ballot question of defunding the police, along with the Chief of Police, and the Firemans Union. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they will but it won't be the ones in the crime ridden neighborhoods that vote for it. Frey isn't expected to win. He's a conservative compared to most of the other candidates. With the ranked choice voting it will probably take a week or more to figure out who won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also be shocked if the metro votes to keep the Minneapolis PD. Too many people in strategic places that stand to gain from its demise. They get the government they deserve.

I'll be shocked if Youngkin doesn't win. McAuliffe has run a terrible campaign. His whole "parents shouldn't have a say in what the schools teach their kids" was a position only the liberal elite can relate to. Minneapolis will be another Portland or San Francisco before long. Back in college we used to go all over and have a fun time. Wife used to work downtown at night. Now we hardly ever go down there. Really the only time now is the State Fair or Supercross.

The Shitties is just someplace we have to drive thru to get to somewhere else right now. That sucks because there are lots of things we used to like to do there, even as recently as 3-4 years ago. Go biking, out to deal, breweries, just driving around, etc. Now it is keep on driving to Hudson or Rochester or further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least once a week in grad school. Now usually hit up 35E to specifically avoid Minneapolis. I don't care if it's 45 mph through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never worry in the city .I would not attempt to raise a family there any more but to just go to a festival or a park or a game no big deal . That said there are deff places I would not go hang out alone after dark . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I am not so sure the police thing will pass . Peopke who live there and own business there are sick of the 40min wait times and the refusal to show up bs and they all know exactly why it is happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in college we used to go all over and have a fun time. Wife used to work downtown at night. Now we hardly ever go down there. Really the only time now is the State Fair or Supercross. The reason I say that is, look who the the president is. Most votes EVER by a candidate?! Doesn't make ANY sense at all. Therefore, a generally democratic state with a former governor and HUGE Clinton lacky, it wouldn't surprise me if he "miraculously" won. I don't believe things are on the level. Hopefully, I'm wrong. As far as MN goes, I live among the cows and rocks as our esteemed governor so eloquently put it. He's a jackass but that's an entirely different story. I have nothing but contempt for the metro and 99% of the decisions they've made for the rest of the state. Minneapolis PD, from what I understand, hasn't been a necessarily upstanding department, however, lots of things go on in the metro that never make the news and allow many of the do-gooders in this state to live their lives of denial. My sister-in-law is one of those people so I've seen it firsthand. I avoid the metro as much as I can. I used to be a big Twins fan but skipped it this year because I have no desire to 1) contribute $$ to pro (woke) sports teams, and 2) go anywhere downtown for any reason and spend any of my hard earned dollars in that shithole. Enough of my money already goes there. Ok, rant over. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convention Center or Uptown same thing. It seems the North West section up by US Bank is still reasonable. But that is about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
