I remember when there were Republicans on the city council, not all that long ago. My take on it is that they moved to the burbs or out of Minnesota or, in the case of Schulstad (an "independent") retired. In other words they left the field to the DFL which schismed to debate. It would be better to have a mix, but what can you do if one team leaves the field?I live right in the middle of it, and I see the same view. There are disagreements about how to turn Minneapolis into a socialist "utopia," but ultimately, our city council has the same end vision, and the agenda has been moving forward like greased lightning, regardless of some petty squabbles along the way. This town is run by the DFL. There is no disputing that. Even the "opposition" (Green) is left-wing. So, where is the real opposition?
