Bill George is the op-ed writer who penned -
Business and community leaders I know were very pleased when they heard U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar was running for governor of Minnesota. They know her as a tireless advocate for Minnesota citizens, the business community and nonprofits throughout the state.
In sharp contrast, Jim Schultz’s recent column (“Tim Walz has been a terrible governor. Would Amy Klobuchar be any different?” June 1) got it wrong in suggesting Klobuchar will run as a moderate but govern as a “hard-left administration.” For 19 years in the U.S. Senate, she has governed as a moderate. But Schultz got one thing right: The agenda for her administration should focus on growth, education, restoring fiscal responsibility and elimination of fraud.
What the fuck!
Progressives need to primary, even if it means losing to a loser, given what the nation is sliding into. When some idiot writes Klobuchar is hard left, fuck all, that is pure fiction. How the hell is Glen Taylor allowed to publish such trash?
We're stuck with Klobuchar because the DFL inner party sucks, and we need progress, and will not get if from them. The only thing they have going is the Republicans offer worse scenarios.
Bad and badder? Yes! Something like that.
Yes, business loves Amy Klobuchar. First sentence of the awful op-ed notes that. And we have that federal pile of ongoing insurance year-after-year giveaway while Klobuchar has been a senator for 85 fucking years.
Or it feels like that. The only thing in her favor is the Republican inner party is more dreadful than the Dem inner party. That's it. We have a lost war - claimed as ended - instigated by Bibi with Trump a fucking spectator to disaster, and that sort of Republican thing is why Klobuchar will be the next Gov of MN. Handed her by the Republicans, and remember Biden only stoked the Gaza genocide, not the bigger mistake of poking a stick into the Iran hornets nest.
The USA is making itself an international basket case. Progressives are amazed. Yet the truth is it's been this way and will be this way. But rubbing peoples noses in it via that level of Strib editorializing is simply offensive beyond decency.
Amy Klobuchar is and has always been a CONSERVATIVE IMPEDIMENT TO PROGRESS AND AN IMPEDIMENT TO FAIRNESS TO THE PEOPLE!

What a great nation we could be. Could have been is the better truth.
And Jarad has his Albanian playground. Next up. China rising. China may be more humane when driving the car.
But what do I know?

Yes, so pissed that I might in the governor race write-in Jesse Ventura. What's wrong with a tone-deaf party that hands me AK as if I should like it? Bless Maine. They are leaders in ousting the Susan Collins low value high-hubris types (including Klobuchar in that rubric). Progress please. Decent healthcare for every US resident.
___________FURTHER UPDATE___________
Here in MN CD6 Doug Chapin is NOT a career politician like Tom Emmer or Amy Klobuchar, who've had the power but lacked the karma for true CHANGE and HOPE as more than campaigning slogans.
CHANGE is overdue. If Klobuchar had the agenda Chapin has things would be less objectionable. And Chapin is no ultra Progressive to the left of Bernie; nothing like that. Just wanting fairness and decency from DC to the people. Moved by the Jan 6 Trump beerhall putsch.
Don't burn the ships, but give us better than AK pablum.
