There is feral and violently feral. Somalia is the later. Thanks Clinton. Anybody find it ironic that the nut job side's candidate has a last name of Warsame.

Ironically, the problem here is exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting.OverSeas AG said:
and this is why we are not a Democracy, but instead a Republic. The Mob.

I get that, too, but what you have to recognize is that this extremely provincial crap is not why the politics of Minnesota are what they are. The Somali population might be enough to control two state House seats and a couple of seats on the Minneapolis city council, at most.OverSeas AG said:
I get your point... but my point was more about how quickly it devolved into a Mob, rather than the technicalities of that particular political process.

"…A Democratic endorsing convention in Minnesota plunged into chaos as dozens of supporters of rival candidates clashed on stage."
" Shocking footage revealed the brawl erupt as backers of Minneapolis City Council member Aisha Chughtai stormed the stage sending supporters of her challenger, Nasri Warsame, into a rage. "
" This is embarrassing,' shouted convention chair Sam Doten as the ugly scenes escalated. 'We are shutting this down - this is no longer safe.'
"The fight broke out at the endorsing convention of the Minneapolis Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) Party for the Ward 10 city council election and ended without an endorsement and at least one person in hospital."
" Local party leaders condemned the violence which was spurred when supporters of Warsame began shouting and jeering at Chughtai backers. "
"A man waving a Warsame sign was the first to rush the stage, before several others joined him, shouting and banging on tables - bringing proceedings to a halt. "
" The Minneapolis Police Department said they responded to reports of people fighting, but did not observe any altercations and made no arrests."
"One man in his 30s was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and paramedics treated a woman in her 40s at the scene, according to CBS News. "

Here's the nub of the conflict:
" Warsame has campaigned on a law-and-order message, saying on his website that he's "committed to reducing crime and addressing issues such as car theft, organized crime, human trafficking, and the opioid crisis," while also "dedicated to working collaboratively with law enforcement to reform policing practices and address issues of racial bias and discrimination within the department."
" Chughtai has endorsements from a long list of progressive and labor groups, including the Democratic Socialists of America."
" The Chughtai campaign issued a statement denouncing the incident as "horrifying, unacceptable, and indicative of the growing threat to progressive, pro-people candidates and movement leaders."
" The Warsame campaign punched multiple women of color on our campaign team, and shoved and harassed LGBTQIA2S+ delegates and supporters," the statement said."
