FACEBOOK AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME GOOD NEWS: Our Revolution Duluth endorses Leah Phifer; Jason Metsa is the hindquarters of the candidate list (to nobody's surprise).

Again, by screencapture (click the image to enlarge and read):

Good News. AND -

Metsa disdains progressives; so vice-versa fits his attitude and persona well.

_____________UPDATE_____________
Our Revolution Duluth published questionnaire responses of the cooperative candidates (all but Metsa), this link. Even if outside of CD8 and lacking a vote, go ahead and pick a favorite.

Remember that even if not having a vote there you can contribute toward the success of any candidate or cause you support, and Phifer does not have the Metsa-Stauber mining money behind her. She is the candidate of the bunch to which I have contributed, and may again help.

Indeed, individual contributions will matter more for those several candidates who are apart from the Metsa-Stauber love-in with sulfide mining, where that love-in is reciprocal and will determine where the mining money is focused. Metsa and Stauber are the gung ho, damn the consequences advocates for mining without meaningful qualifications and protections; the other candidates being more cautious and conservative about sulfide mining. As is clear from the published questionnaire responses.

Whether Metsa will abide by the DFL endorsement process, if the endorsed candidate is anyone other than him, is unclear to me.
