    This is another good example of leftist policies causing an election loss. Even in a place as blue as Seattle.

      This is a good example of people not understanding what they’re being lied to about, being fed endless propaganda/copaganda and fear based on whateverthefuck, not understanding how governments work or how their rights are being stripped away.

      Yet here you have a militarized white supremacist union - wholly unaccountable to civilians or the law - willing and openly boasting about killing people.

      The American dream is just around the corner.

      Defunding the police is actually popular as long as you don’t call it ‘defunding the police’.

        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

        Election results say otherwise

      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.

          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.
