Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

And in local news, more defeats for progressive nutjobs...

Even in loony Seattle they have had enough of CHOP and defund police insanity.

Minneapolis soundly rejected a defund the police measure.

Progressive Team Woke got drubbed last night, even in favorable locations. I wonder if AOC or her acolytes will take note?

    Yup, that’ll lose you an election anywhere.

    AOC publicly backed a socialist in Buffalo who lost to an incumbent that won via write ins.

    We are done here.

    This one is a reach. I’m not going to celebrate a loss but you shouldn’t be celebrating a socialist taking 40% of the vote vs an incumbent democrat in a general.

    The write in part is impressive but that’s more about informing voters than any political position.

    Just because you write it, doesn't make it true. 60 to 40 is an ass-kicking.

    But but...it's about informing voters, "you guys".....

    Wrong. It's a complete plungering of socialism. GTFO out of here with that bullshit.

    Ok dude. Two democrats ran against each other and one got 100% of the Republican vote. What a victory.

    Not sure exactly what happened in the primary to have the incumbent not make it onto the ballot, assuming an asleep at the wheel mentality. A lone listed democrat on the ballot, with AOC public backing, got curbed stomped by a write in. AOC’s endorsement is the kiss of death so far this year. Should be telling for you, though I’m sure it’s not.

    Well if that doesn’t sum you up perfectly.

    “I have no idea what’s going on but it’s very telling that I’m right”

    You’re a caricature.

    What actually happened is all that matters here.

    I’m from the Billy Bean school of thought, “you say he’s a good hitter, so why doesn’t he hit?” If AOC and a socialist platform are so popular, then why can’t they win anything?

    It's almost as if folks got tired of being called racist, fascist, homophobes over the last year. Maybe folks got tired of being hassled in restaurants, or walking down the street. Perhaps they even became annoyed the MSM played along with it.

    AOC won when the long term incumbent got fat and lazy. She’s a creation of the justice Democrats. She’s an empty shot glass ready to be filled with whatever she’s told to say.

    The only people listening to her are the Kobe’s of the world and our corrupt MSM. Bartender Lady went tits-up last night in her progressive movement. Kobe is in denial because he’s a child.

    Harrell was bound to make history in this election - if he was a tranny he would have every angle covered.

    From Channel 13 - count on the news ensure race is ALWAYS an issue in an election

    The 63-year-old Harrell, who grew up in a redlined city neighborhood, would be Seattle’s first Asian American and second Black mayor. He has strong backing from business and real estate executives.

    Is she one of your moms?

    The electoral tsunami that just hit Seattle politics has been building for a long time. As the current campaigns started to take shape last spring, the warning signs for Seattle’s increasingly radicalized movement left were clear. Clear, that is, unless you happen to live largely inside the perpetual, self-contained ideological circle jerk that is Left Twitter.

    Agree

    When we lived Seattle it was at the end of the tough liberals who would smash your face in era. Pro labor, pro union, pro lumber, and pro waterfront. It was changing all the while but hit warp speed as the article points out

    Most Seattleites like most folks everywhere would like real solutions to homeless camps and the like but those solutions are not all rainbows and unicorns

    I ran the city contract for our company so I was always in city buildings. I remember the first winter when they let some homeless sleep in the lobby of City Hall

    A couple years ago King County was talking about moving the courthouse because people were scared to try to walk into it

    City government needs to govern the city. Not cosplay as leftist revolutionaries.

    Just not a voting issue though for a high character individual like the slobberer.

    Leftards lie and love to be lied to. The dazzler voted for barry and the dementia patient because they were the more fiscally responsible alternative. Sure.
