    Don’t under estimate Dow’s greediness and virtue signaling. Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and anything to the East needs to break off into its own county.

    I mean, with everything Seattle has going for it, you'd almost have to purposefully fuck it up. Which is exactly what she's trying to do.

    Jimminy Christmas she's a fucking buffoon. A dangerous one at that.
    She promotes free stuff for all. She’s not a buffoon, she knows most voters in her council district are buffoons.

    Change the Democrat mascot from a Donkey to Santa Claus because that’s The Left in 2020 and their voters don’t care. I want in on @HHusky and his early retirement, though.
    I think there are more moderate left-leaning people in Seattle than it appears. Like most view points, the loud ones get noticed. There's a whole swath of Seattleites that are reasonable non-commies who just have that northern European "mind your own business and don't be a loud mouth" ethos and they get drowned out by the radicals.

    I agree, though, that the younger ones - the kids in their 20s - are followers, and that's almost everywhere. The lessons of the failures of communism are lost because they don't make movies out of it anymore and because we don't teach economics and political economy to people who don't major in those areas. During my time, you couldn't avoid at least a superficial swipe at communism unless your head was buried in the sand. Wolverines!!!!!!!!!!
    Idk, you grew in era where people were fucking paranoid and horrified of communism/socialism to unhealthy levels.
    Fuck that. McCarthyism died in the 1950's. Is that what your central party overlords are telling you to parrot online? That 'we' were fucking paranoid?

    The Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union and communism died during the era we grew up.

    We mocked communism because that shit didn't work.

    Scared? That our country may have to go to war with them. Nuke drills diving under desks. Scared? No. But that we hate a system that murdered over 100 million people last century and enslaved the populations is natural. We aren't as stupid as young people today as we didn't believe everything our teachers/professors told us. We lived in normal households predominantly with both father and mother.

    Evidently your 27 dads had shitty morals and intelligence and didn't teach you jack shit.

    I actually grew up in the soviet block. So most people there had same aspirations as you guys they just wanted to live their lives and take care of their families. But if you guys just want to justify your xenophobic, I understand

    You're assuming that Marxism isn't going to spread into the Eastside
    It ain't going past Cle Elum, I can guaran-fucking-tee that.

    Spokane real estate market is HOT right now. Affordable houses are selling in about 3-6 days. Who do you think is buying? It's the same thing that happened to Seattle 40 years ago before the tech industry blew up. Californians and now liberal Seattleites looking to find a city in which to trade up in. You will lose a district at a time until you are the minority. Sad, but happening.
    In theory, yes.

    But those fucking pinkos are going to have a much harder tim politically transforming Eastern Washington than the Puget Sound. They may be buying real estate, but progressive shit ain’t gonna fly in Spokane or the Tri’s.

    Eventually, sure.gif, but it will be a long haul.

    Imagine what happened to the Cali fag on ‘Yellowstone!’

    I didn't want to wax on and on but I agree with you. It will take time. I was looking at the move to one, trade up and two, to have 10-15 years of not living in a political pressure cooker. Working at a Seattle suburb grocery store the last four months has been a real drag. Between the virus hot talk then BLM and now back to major virus hot talk I'm done. I just smile and nod my head to every person/coworker who feels the need to speak their mind. I figure Spokane would be a little less outraged by everything, all the time. A more measured response? Can people not buy a can of corn without stepping on a soapbox anymore? Can't they speak their mind on a hard core college football board like me? What's the world come to?
    The idea of a desert climate, medium-sized AZ or New Mexico town, conservative majority, blue skies and hot sun, lovely Latinas abounding, and NO Seattle bullshit, just seems enticing to me. So I'm getting closer and closer to getting serious about this. But I also know that the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence. I need to keep that in mind.

    I can't remember if I spoke about this publicly or not, but on March 6th I interviewed on the Oregon coast for a sportswriter job, and was offered it. I was sitting in my hotel room, looking at the ocean, watching the live stream of the Woodinville girls basketball team at the Tacoma Dome, and PMing with Race Bannon and Dave Hoffmann to get feedback about whether to sell my condo and make the move to Oregon. Race and Hoff both said go for it.

    But there was all the talk about how the Covid shutdown was going to happen very soon. And after hours of mulling it over, I decided that the timing could be bad and I might paint myself into a corner. So I declined the job offer and stayed put, and a few days later we all went into lockdown.
    New Mexico not so red. Even Arizona and Nevada are struggling. Reddest states last election were Oklahoma and Idaho.

    My sister lives in AZ and cousin Maureen lives in NV, and they say that both states are still pretty conservative. I know that Santa Fe is quite liberal.

    If McCarthy succeeded, maybe we're not in this mess today? I don't know, but food for thought.

    When did I support them? All I said that people in U.S. were paranoid over socialism/communism to unhealthy levels.

    Please find where did I support that form of economy?

    Praise allah I got the fuck out of Seattle. Most people don’t understand that Karl Marx was a fucking loser like most of HH idiots that live of their parents. Only difference Marx found a fucking friend that he mooched for all his life. Why follow his teachings is beyond me

    Tukwila is tanned, rested and ready. Moved ops there in '16 with zero regrets.

    CU@Odin.
    Odin is delicious. I was quite happy to see them move from Fremont/Wallingford to Tukwila.
    Nothing finer than loading up on booze at Total Wine, downing a few pints at Odin, and being home in 15 minutes.

    This is how Democrats appeal to the center

    It's a mistake to run against socialist ideology

    Divisive

    Fucking this.

    Piss the fuck off kid, and let adults (excluding your 2 moms or dads) do the heavy lifting.

    I lived in Phoenix for 10 years. Moved back to Seattle 8 years ago b/c it really isn't ideal for raising kids - most of their schools suck. The golf is great and the weather, outside of August/September, is great. The taxes are much better (and like I mentioned above they have the shitty schools to prove it). If your a foodie you won't like it much either but the politics are much better - no palm tree huggers.
