It hasn't even been 12 hours and I'm already seeing DFL folks juice up the down-ballot races.

Ironic. By the mid-1970s, US farmers were largely reliable Democrat votes, based mainly on Democrat-cheered farm subsidies and the fact that Jimmy Carter sold himself as a peanut farmer man of the people. (Which was not entirely untrue.) Since Reagan, farmers have been solidly Republican. I assume that Minnesota farmers are not substantially different from other farmers across the country.

My understanding is that there used to be a third party in Minnesota called the Minnesota Farm-Labor Party. They were the dominant progressive party of the Depression era and merged with the Minnesota Democrats in 1944 following internal conflicts. Today, I'd say that a majority of farmers up here vote red, but Dems still have a lot of blue voters in the Iron Range.

For some reason I think of farmers as being the blue collar Reagan democrats that don’t really exist anymore. Even though the only farmer I knew was a conservatives conservative!

OK, fine, throw in a watermelon, but I think my pony-dragon will want something more to eat...

I read the same thing you did and my thoughts were less "Scooby Doo" and more "Tiger King".

I'd be happy for our nation if Biden stepped down and Michelle Obama ran.

I mean, I'm not a fan of family dynasties in our politics.  I wasn't a fan of two Bushes, or the prospect of a second Clinton.  But I'd be happier being cranky about an Obama dynasty, than I would shocked and aghast that the US had lost it's way so severely, that it intentionally put a neurodegenerate puppet into the chair.

Is there a place to watch it after the fact?  I don't usually watch tv in the evening.
