No. Minneapolis and some other local governments use ranked choice voting in local elections. Minnesota as a whole does not.
The Democratic party in Minnesota is officially the Democratic Farm Labor party . . . .
If we’re going with “officially,” it’s officially the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party of Minnesota. It’s commonly known as the DFL.
Could more cities turn to Democratic Socialism for mayoral candidates? What would that be like if it reaches the state and then national levels?
Then Democrats would win in some places and lose in other places. It is unlikely, I think, that Democratic Socialists would win anywhere that doesn’t already lean blue (like Minneapolis). It is much less likely, I think, they’d win in toss-up areas, where winning candidates need to appeal to the political middle.
Democratic Socialists candidates everywhere is not a recipe for taking back Congress, I don’t think.

Probably not, but they could heavily influence how the party LEANS if not in the next midterm, there will be the future presidential elections. I do think there will be such a strong reaction to Trump that they have a pretty good chance of impacting the democratic platform.
Republicans are already loading their cannons for the next battle.
