Friendly reminder that Seattle's current city attorney is a trump backing Republican who was elected all because Seattle at the time was too scared of a candidate who once talked about abolishing the police.
The author here is running for the position and if you're in Seattle I highly encourage supporting him. We have a chance to drastically shift the center right city government that has plagued our city these last few years
This is another good example of leftist policies causing an election loss. Even in a place as blue as Seattle.
Except that's not really true. She didn't run on that at all. It was a tweet from long before the election that the right wing used to tarnish her
But she lost because voters were convinced she ran on that leftists policy. Whether she actually did doesn’t change the intentions of the voters.
I mean if you really think the right wing accurately portrayed a nuanced issue that's certainly a take
that isnt true as you have seen in recent news musk had rigged the election machines, and you should be more cognizant of the fact that voter suppression plays a heavy role. sexisms, and racism were crucial amongs the republican voters.
Convinced…
