    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.

    The exodus to Bellevue/Redmond/Kirkland over the next 5 years is gonna be massive.

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

    An absolute embarrassment that she was re-elected. It's absolutely incredible.
    She represents her constituency. Puget sound has become a left wing militant shit hole.
    The Wobblies tried spreading it to Everett in 1916, with disappointing results. Time for a repeat?

    You're assuming that Marxism isn't going to spread into the Eastside
    This. The problem shifted into high gear with the mass import of northern Californians In the tech industry. They brought with them a culture that strongly supports Marxist ideology marketed as progressive liberalism. Anywhere they go will be at risk of developing the same cancer.
    Can't blame it all on the Calis. Thousands of mini-Marxists from every college in the land have come to Seattle to form their progressive Utopia after their 4 years in Commie Re-Education Camps like University of Missouri, Wisconsin, Yale and Harvard.

    Gonzaga hired that ugly bitch Melissa Click from the U of Missouri protests, so the seed has been planted in Spokane as well.

    It's the colleges and universities for the dumb, with ratios of 17 Libs to 1 Con that are causing this, too.
