I never understood this. If you picked 10,000 people at random maybe 10 would know who Piker is. Maybe. Republicans attack like this because they are toxically online and think everyone else is too. Democrats join in because they reflexively act in fear of any Republican attack no matter how stupid.

anders folk is telling minneapolis residents that he is a democrat, but the message he sends suburban residents doesn’t mention any political affiliation the part about ICE is also removed which seems like a misstep. operation metro surge hit the whole state, why not tell all of hennepin county?

This is basically 50% of all City Council platforms in your average blue city. And it makes sense because, until 2025, the federal government heaped loads of money into health care, public safety, and public education. We haven't even felt the worst of the cuts, but it's already landing with voters.
