Best Senators from Minnesota in the Last 50 years

[Mr. Smith]

And now for the one sota land where they say pop.

So?

[Sumner 1868]

Wellstone, but this is a better than normal selection pool regardless.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone.

[Mr. Smith]

Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone.

My thoughts too. I had considered Franken, but Wellstone has his perks without the negatives.

[Dr. Cynic]

HHH and Wellstone, definitely.

[wnwnwn]

I through Mondale would had more fans.

Anyway,
Humphrey
Humphrey
Humphrey

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Klobuchar and Wellstone (HHH only barely missed the cut)

[YE]

Humphrey and Wellstone.

[Agonized-Statism]

It's a shame McCarthy just barely missed the cut here. I'm not a social democrat, but I'm not inflexible either- I'll give them some support if they're serious about challenging liberals and advancing reforms that will push the Overton Window in the right direction (hence why I supported Sanders in 2020 even though I found the self-proclaimed "democratic socialists" to be a bunch of naive pushovers, which they proved themselves to be in the end). I probably would have been Clean for Gene in '68.

Wellstone was decent and Mondale had some Ws. Makes me wish we had the '80s Democrats and their advocacy for a nuclear freeze back.

Eugene McCarthy was hardly a social democrat, unless you are using some kind of different definition of the term.

Social democrats for Reagan.

I throught HHH was like a moderate socdem (at least in the european definition). Was McCarthy to the left or right of him on domestic issues?

Well, for some reason the Dems for Reagan ads tried to appeal to the Ted Kennedy primary voters...
