The city is not far left. You have wealthy right wingers who have quite a bit of influence
Yeah and the $15 min wage and soda tax came from the wealthy influential right wingers
Nice attempt at sarcasm π
Who knows? The west coast in general is significantly more liberal than the east. Birds of a feather, I'm sure.
Portland OR is the same
Portland is awful

Because the city has a gay and child molesting mayor. What do you think can go wrong? Oh and he was elected by the people, that explained a lot. There's no why, there's just is the way it is.
Hard to meet normal straight Americans who are not a far left social justice warrior, in this city.
"normal" "straight" Americans. It's easy to tell where your sympathies lie.
Username checks out.
I can't help but laugh when someone tries to use snowflake as a pejorativ. Just remember you're quoting Fight Club, a satire written by a gay man about how male fragility causes men to destroy themselves, resent society, and become radicalized, and that Tyler Durden isn't the hero but a personification of the main character's mental illness, and that his "snowflake" speech is a dig at how fascists use dehumanizing language to breed loyalty from insecure people. So basically people who say "snowflake" as an insult are quoting a domestic terrorist who blows up skyscrapers because he's insecure about how good he is in bed.
Best comeback ever
Agree. I'd give you reddit gold but instead I'm going to screencap this and keep it in my backpocket.
Oh boy. Potatoes gunna potate.
Because our economy is wealthy enough to sustain all these liberal parasites so they migrate here, and they keep voting to take more for themselves. America was founded on the idea that we shouldn't suffer from the tyranny of the majority. So much for that idea.
These comments are so hostile. How exactly are you guys suffering? In concrete terms every person on this app probably has a job and everything we need to be relatively happy. So what's the big deal? Do you really need to be so hostile? I get that elitists on the left can be equally hostile, but don't you have any inclination to be more mature instead of playing eye for an eye? Do you really feel oppressed by a system that makes you more or less comfortable? People on the right are the biggest recipients of social services. You don't feel any sense of charity that your taxes go to helping them survive as we thrive here in our comfy tech jobs? Can't you take it down a notch?
No because I genuinely believe liberal policies are harming this country, and those on the far left are anti-American and dangerous. We are in the midst of a culture war for the soul of this country.
Would it surprise to to hear that I basically agree with you. I'm totally progressive and there are few people I think are more toxic to this country than Clinton and all her pseudo-left politicos. But I'm just as scared of the right. It's important not to buy into the false left right propaganda fed to us by the mainstream system that wants us thinking we have less in common than we really do. Neoliberal and neoconservative strategy are both about taking over the world, which is completely unamerican. Most people on both 'sides' are fairly ignorant about politics and history. Progressive and conservative values used to have a lot of crossover. We used to recognize shared values. But now we're being sold the civil war garbage in order to get votes and sell hats. People get duped. Again, it's not you vs me. It's people who run everything vs people with no power at all. My two cents. I would generally say something snarky and dismissive to people talking like you. But I'm over the anger. You simply aren't my enemy. Maybe you could do better at not looking at things in such a binary way.

weirdo or snowflake = people who disagree with you?
Not at all. Most of my friends back in the east coast are liberal, but they are pragmatic, sensible, level headed. Seattle has so many nutjobs.
So true. I know people who are intolerant liberals here and in sv. You just cant talk with them except by agreeing with them. No level headed discussion.
