Great news for Seattle
Sawant is gone! https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/incumbents-herbold-and-juarez-lead-sawant-trails-in-tuesdays-seattle-city-council-election-results/ Thanks for funding the campaign against socialism, Bezos!
damn she polled 46%? lol
Fuckin commies
Who is this person?
She’s a member of the Seattle city council who makes AOC and the rest of the Democrats look far right by comparison
Dude if Seattle were a country it would undergo hyperinflation like Zimbabwe did. And I second that this city is like Venezuela. Actually, these idiot city leaders probably keep those failed nations as models for their policies. If I didn’t live here it would be great to watch then crumble
You have no idea what you're talking about. Do you vote? Please don't, you aren't intelligent enough.
$15/hour wage did wonders for lowering worker hours.
WTF! I see Sawant's ad everywhere on the street and utility poles in Captiol Hill and I even get her campaign workers knocked on my door to make donation to her. How do these measures fail to attract enough votes?
Without those ads she would have only polled 4.6%.
It's embarassing that our city has enough cat ladies and hipsters to vote in Head Clown Shamasawant.
Oh thank goodness
What are some examples of her policies?
Surprised I haven’t seen more posts on rejecting Affirmative Action / state-based racism.
Isn't affirmative action already being done federally? Supreme Court ruled it legal and every state must implement it.
Short answer is no. As an example, private companies who receive no federal government benefit (contractors/subcontractors) are not required to follow it by federal law. 8 states prohibit it in a number of different ways. California most famous for banning it from consideration to public university systems. Hence, 40% of UC attendees are Asian. WA is the same way, the legislature voted for it, and now voters have rejected that referendum keeping the status quo.
She trails. Doesn't mean she's out yet. Let's not declare victory early.
