Senate File 26<\/a> passed the Republican-controlled Minnesota Senate unanimously and is headed for a vote in the Democrat-controlled House.  The bill makes it easier for people to obtain marriage licenses during the Walz Dictatorship.<\/p>

Weren’t Republicans going to fight to end the dictatorship, rather than enabling it to continue? <\/p>

What was so urgent about this bill that Republicans had to go along with it, rather than hold it up to force concessions?<\/p>

I get that they’re all amateurs, citizen-legislators, but isn’t there anybody up there who knows how to play this game? <\/p>

I’ve wondered the same, from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But political parties are run by those who show up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every conservative that’s stayed home out of anger over Trump being nominated, or Trump losing the 2016 caucuses, or failture to retroactively condemn or canonize Tim Pawlenty or Michele Bachmann, or Jennifer Carnahan-Hagedorn’s performance as chair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The party reflects those who show up. In some places – the 7th CD – that’s a good thing. In some – CD4 – it’s deeply problematic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it”s those who show up that pick the people who get elected that fight the fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been out for the past couple years – call it burnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I”ll be back. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
