It turns out that I’ve written quite a bit about the political charity TakeAction Minnesota this year. My interest in the group—who they are and what they do—centers on several topic areas, listed here in no particular order:
Ideology—TakeAction follows a far-left political ideology under the “progressive” liberal banner. The success TakeAction has enjoyed in elections, lobbying, and fundraising has pushed the state Democrat party even further to the left. With Democrats having a near-monopoly on political power in Minnesota, TakeAction’s influence among the state’s Democrats means that the state’s public policy choices represent the preferences of a small fraction of the state’s electorate.
