That's more coming out of the closet than being left of them. Dems have been moving progressively left for some time. Guys like Scoop Jackson are completely absent from the modern Democrat Party. Blue dogs are the remaining vestiges of rationality in that party and they are far out numbered by the Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi types.

No way Portland will let Seattle get away with this. A full-on Communist will be coming to their city council next time around. After that it will be Seattle's turn again...

totally disagree. They've become corporate stooges more than ever. If you're simply talking social issues nogaf about, maybe some have.

Even if the $15/hour minimum wage nonsense gets shot down in SeaTac, what entrepreneur in their right mind would start a business there with that possibility always hovering nearby?

Just borrow $10,000 from your parents to pay the employees.

Let's see. Seattle, run by communists, low unemployment, high wages, high home values.

Spokane, run by good ole boy conservatives, not so much.

Quite honestly the next Facebook will base their location solely off of minimum wage labor.

The commie bitch has done absolutely nothing but jump on the coattails of conversations other people started and take credit for them.

"low unemployment" = because we don't count people who left the workforce because they ARE NOT EVEN TRYING ANYMORE. Obama's favorite math tactic.
