U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Thursday she is running for governor of Minnesota, promising to take on Donald Trump while unifying a state that has endured a series of challenges even before the federal government’s immigration crackdown.

Klobuchar’s decision gives Democrats a high-profile candidate and proven statewide winner as their party tries to hold onto the office occupied by Gov. Tim Walz.

Klobuchar cited Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota, federal officers killing two Minnesotans who protested, the assassination of a state legislative leader and a school shooting that killed multiple children — all within the last year. She avoided direct mention of ongoing fraud investigations into the child care programs that Trump has made a political cudgel.

    So again just gonna point out that no one has any substantive things to say to me its all just how you feel which is utterly worthless.

    I always question this idea that .ml instances are somehow bad rep. The perspectives are so varied from the left of whatever the Lemmy.world instance is at political that that is a really wild generalization. Are there annoying leftists? Oh my god yes but there are also annoying liberals.

    You do need to have people be willing to engage in good faith, which I do strive to do, but its not pushing an agenda its expressing a different political ideology which largely fundamentally reimagines what society can be in a way where it is better for us all. Not modest reform that makes you feel like things are better when all the same systems of oppression exists but one where those systems are gone. It takes a lot of work to learn how to have those conversations in a way that is productive and wholly valueless…they are almost impossible to do over these kinds of forums unless every party is coming to the table in good faith which I find to be rare.

    Anyway I disagree with how you are characterizing what I said still but agree to disagree I guess.
