okay that’s a lot of words saying that i’m wrong but none actually explaining why.
why’d he lose then?

graue.bsky.social•70 days ago

Huge spending by venture capitalists and the real estate industry against him. An electorate very hostile to incumbents (our mayor also lost). And while being attacked by YIMBYs, he was also being attacked by NIMBYs as the only candidate *supporting* a controversial housing dev in a rich nabe.

Don't forget the redistricting too

graue.bsky.social•70 days ago

Indeed

This is correct, alongside redistricting and broader anti-incumbent sentiment.

i’m sure the complete lack of Introspection on your or deans part will bode well for future elections
don’t worry, he was perfect and just lost because he supported one (1) housing development, not the dozens he opposed

Not conceding your incorrect point does not entail a lack of introspection - it means that I've considered it as part of (not really introspecting, as I have no relation to the campaign) introspection and don't agree.

Also, as a simple matter of fact, Dean did not oppose "dozens" of developments - it really is absurd how much you are out of your depth here. Stick to your own city.

"towards your own political aims rooted in bad economics" should be considered laudatory, coming from someone who labels themselves a communist!

msp.themsp.org•70 days ago

This is a pretty silly joke to try and make, I'm pretty confident in my own credentials around discussing economics - something which is not specified by associating yourself with communism.
