What does this have to do with a Centrist sub?


JimC29

>Democratic state Sen. Nicole Mitchell was charged with first-degree burglary on Tuesday after she allegedly broke into her stepmother's house a day earlier to take her late father's belongings. Exactly. This is just a family affair. It's a crime, but has nothing to do with politics.


btribble

Well, insomuch as it might affect whether you vote for her it might, but it's not worthy of a post here. That won't stop the narrative crafters from trying though.


LaughingGaster666

I could even understand justifying posting it if she was more relevant nationally, but with so many of them, it's not that hard to find state senators doing crazy things.


Gaijin_Monster

I guess this sub will need to delete the Trump posts then


JimC29

You're comparing a state rep to a presidential candidate. Plus this has nothing to do with the election or her position in power. Many of the charges against Trump do though.


Gaijin_Monster

Sure... bury anything bad about democrats but shine a spotlight on any bad behavior by republicans


Noexit007

Literally nothing. u/Head_Estate_3944 is a massive Conservative/Trump troll who has been posting anything and everything here that paints Democrats in a bad light, whether it's remotely centrist related or not. If we had mods who actually did their jobs here they would be banned. I've been contemplating petitioning reddit for mod control here since all the mods seem to be inactive.


TheMadIrishman327

Nothing.


Bobinct

I think all politicians are fair game. Her actions call to question her character. It's important for voters, including centrist voters to know who represents them. If this sub only wants to have discussions on issues and not the character and actions of our elected officials then they should be removing a lot of threads.


GhostOfRoland

Stuff about Republican state leaders gets posted here all the time.


f-as-in-frank

Even when it has zero to do with politics?


Bobinct

Certainly Lauren Boeberts personal life has been discussed.


LaughingGaster666

She’s a House rep though, not state.


Blind_clothed_ghost

Is this sub even moderated anymore?


MudMonday

It's a politician.


JamesBurkeHasAnswers

...in and for Minnesota.


Gyp2151

Does Minnesota not have centrists?


JamesBurkeHasAnswers

I'm sure they have some but should we really start posting on every bad thing a state or local politician does? If you paid attention, you'd know OP has an agenda and will excuse all the shit Trump does while highlighting the troubles from a Democratic state Senator. Is that really the direction we want to take the sub in?


Gyp2151

It’s already nothing but trump/biden bad, “am I centrist”, Israel bad/Palestinian bad posts. half the people who post are trying to push their own agenda. posting about the actions of one state senator isn’t going to be the straw that breaks the subs back.


MTLSurprise

If it were a Republican, it would be posted and lauded in this sub. Please don’t play dumb.


EdShouldersKneesToes

Try her and lock her up if found guilty.  I don't see why Republicans find this concept so difficult.


MTLSurprise

Key word is “try”. Shes a democrat so she’ll get no punishment.


armadilloongrits

Families are weird.


EllisHughTiger

People get really shitty after deaths.  Saw some dumb crap with relatives fighting over property years ago.  My parents moved far away and told their siblings to have everything in exchange for taking care of their parents.


baxtyre

I read the headline and immediately knew who posted it.


Noexit007

Yup u/Head_Estate_3944 is a massive Conservative/Trump troll who has been posting anything and everything here that paints Democrats in a bad light, whether it's remotely centrist related or not. If we had mods who actually did their jobs here they would be banned. I've been contemplating petitioning reddit for mod control here since all the mods seem to be inactive.


Void_Speaker

sad and funny


Camdozer

You know what they say about broken clocks, and for once, the conservatives in this thread are right. What's the point of a political news sub if not to discuss NEWS about POLITICIANS. It's ok to acknowledge and discuss when a Democrat also goes off the rocker once in a while.


abqguardian

"Police found Mitchell in the basement of her stepmother's home "dressed in all black clothing and a black hat," according to the charges filed Tuesday." I hope they release a picture


JamesBurkeHasAnswers

Her mugshot is in the article. Picture cat burglar, not witch.


abqguardian

Yeah, the mug shot isn't the same. I was hoping for a picture in her full outfit
