The idea of Democratic Party unity - in Minnesota and nationwide – has passed beyond “charade” and “myth” into outright fraud.
No, I”m not talking about the primary battle; while the Dems’ three-way battle for the Gubernatorial nod is a sign of a deep split in the party, it is simply how things are done under our current caucus/convention/primary system.
No – even after the primaries are done and Mark Dayton once again proves that the DFL endorsement is in fact the kiss of death, and the party supposedly “unites” behind the former Senator, all that “unity” talk will be a complete fraud. The DFL – indeed, Democrats nationwide – will be misleading the people by saying they are united.
Why?
Because I”m not one of them. Not anymore.
