    Seattle sucks. I voted with my feet and left. It's not going to become Detroit though.

    It does suck in many ways. I consider leaving. I do sense some backlash in sentiment, but if we all do a Dori Monson and do our bitching from Shoreline (or Bothell, or Kent, etc.) instead of staying, who do you think will be voting in Seattle?
    At this point what difference does it make?
    I don’t view it as my duty to stay. But this has been a nice place to live for most of my life. I don’t think it’s doomed, but I do wonder where the tipping point is.
    The people moving to Seattle are either going there for a tech job or because they actually like the politics of the city. If it ever changes course it will take at least a generation at this point, probably two.
    The City is overrun with soyboyz and beta males. It's been growing softer and softer, year after year, since the early 90s. The city is so full of skinny dudes with perfectly coifed beards paired up with 250 lb plus fat bitches who boss them around, it's fucking absurd. Even worse, many men I've met call themselves "feminists" for fuck sake, forever dooming themselves to the friend zone, paying for dinners while their date goes home with someone else. FT, FM, FY, and fuck Seattle.

    Yellow, first off fren, I like you.

    But I'm pretty sure you voted Dem early and often at the state and local levels and you reaped the rewards.

    Moving to Bend like every other west of the mountains lib that enjoys the outdoors is humorous and par for the course.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not, don't make the same fucking mistake and turn Bend into Eugene.

    Despite everything in Seattle I am blessed to have a good techish job and I enjoy living here, for the most part. Maybe I'll move one day, but until then I'll be fighting the good fight and will vote straight R. Who knows, the pendulum might even swing a little more towards sanity?

    Well, fren, in the 25 years of and on that I have been a registered voter in Seattle, I voted GOP in every Federal, State and Local election with one notable exception- i.e., not voting for Trump in 2016. So I didn't reap shit. If you recall some of my earlier posts @PostGameOrangeSlices I was stuck in Seattle Public School hell waging a lonely fight again transgender pronoun studies for kindergartners and official BLM week in school.

    My wife and I are fortunate to be able to keep Seattle based income and live in Bend. It was a no brainier once this became a reality. It is overrun with California libs, but in comparison to Seattle it feels like Texas. We're in the most liberal part of town an instead of every other house having a BLM yard sign like my street in Seattle, maybe only 1 in 15 do here. That's progress if you ask me.
    Do the morons post those signs because they endorse the Marxist platform of BLM? Or are they doing it strategically, so the mobs won't smash their windows when they troll the neighborhood?

    I want to believe the latter, but fear its the former.

    Give Bend one more federal election cycle - they will catch up. The school district will not be far behind Seattle/Washington in its efforts to teach porno at an early age
    Both my parents were Teachers.

    Fuck the Teachers Union and their contorted SJW "losers first" world view.

    Look no further than the riots in the streets to see the heroic fruit of their labors.

    Any teacher with half a brain would be embarrassed and ashamed of this generation, but most aren't smart enough.

    So what city of 100,000 near the mountains in the Western USA isn't fairly liberal? SLC? Ask @89ute . Missoula is getting more liberal. Boise I guess but it doesn't appeal to me. And living the guns n' religion compound lifestyle like @PurpleThrobber ain't going work for us.
    Even Bozeman-Belgrade is about 50/50 right now, if not slightly left.

    The environment and nature seduce them. Then they turn around and ruin it with spoiled little bastard kids.

    Sorry, Yella, but those little Cali spawn all over Milltown are a big reason I don't go to Bend anymore. Punk-Ass little shits.

    Do your kids a favor and beat their asses when they misbehave. They'll thank you for it later.

    Fair enough! I missed that thread but sounds par for the course.

    Godspeed
    And I will add @PostGameOrangeSlices because you're still a young buck, Seattle is much more enjoyable sans kids vs married with multiple children. Once you start paying for daycare for 2 kids + the cost of real estate for a family four, you'll feel you been fucked by a train.
    Kids terrify me. A wife does too, frankly
    What about a husband?

    Missoula is pretty liberal because the college basically runs the whole city. It was that way when I lived there 10-15 years ago. I imagine it’s even more so now.

    That's what I'm saying. Basically, every cool mountain gets over run with Kalifornicators. I love the mountains so it is what it is I guess.

    My wife and I are fortunate to be able to keep Seattle based income and live in Bend. It was a no brainier once this became a reality. It is overrun with California libs, but in comparison to Seattle it feels like Texas. We're in the most liberal part of town an instead of every other house having a BLM yard sign like my street in Seattle, maybe only 1 in 15 do here. That's progress if you ask me.
    Give Bend one more federal election cycle - they will catch up. The school district will not be far behind Seattle/Washington in its efforts to teach porno at an early age
    So what city of 100,000 near the mountains in the Western USA isn't fairly liberal? SLC? Ask @89ute . Missoula is getting more liberal. Boise I guess but it doesn't appeal to me. And living the guns n' religion compound lifestyle like @PurpleThrobber ain't going work for us.
    Even Bozeman-Belgrade is about 50/50 right now, if not slightly left.
    Best percentage I could ask for, quite frankly.
