Thanks for all of the explanation! I now get it in terms of proportional representation. While I'm not thrilled the DFL slate didn't all win, it makes sense that the DFL is not representative of 100% of the city.

There were 3 DFL endorsed candidates. Now it *matters* which order you rank them instead of being able to vote them in as a block

This is exactly the point. The will of the voter is completely ignored for who they want for the second and third seats. Since RCV already lets you pick your top 3, then shouldn't all of your top 3 be counted?

The DFL should be ashamed. Their goal, meant to disenfranchise thousands of Minneapolis residents, will have a ripple effect up and down the ballot. Wanting an affordable and accountable city should not ever be controversial. 8/
