Seattle on track to have most progressive city council in years

Well, the people of Seattle have spoken and what they’ve apparently said is that they want more socialists on the city council. The sure sign of this is that after an election that looked grim for council member Kshama Sawant on election night, she has now taken a narrow lead over her opponent:

[C19fan]

Damn Commie ungrateful bitch is actually going to win re-election. I guess the Communists found enough homeless people to cast ballots.

[yldstrk]

“progressive”? What the hell does that mean?

[livius]

Communist.

[Truth29]

Seattle might benefit from a communicable disease typical of third world, unsanitary, countries. Cholera comes to mind.

[XRdsRev]

I guess Seattle actually can get worse.

Beautiful city filled with crazy people.

[Russ]

People who want to put us back in the Dark Ages are called “progressives”. Call them what they really are: Luddites.

[VTenigma]

I remember when elections were decided on election day. Now elections are decided when the commies have counted enough votes to get the desired results.

Our son sold his West Seattle house and moved north.

Oh good more people sh##ing in the streets more drug overdoses, more crime murder and rape, more chaos, mores stupid people looking for free sh##

[Adder]

Things look grim for 2020.

The fraud continues right in our faces and we just let it happen.

2018 was a dry run. Now, they figured out that there is no consequence to the crime and no one to speak against it.

There was an article last year about the last “conservative” on the Seattle city council not seeking re-election. After reading the article I realized he was NOT a conservative in any stretch of the imagination. More like a democrat from the sixties.

[VTenigma]

I hope he got a good price.

[Varda]

Is this vote by mail? I never understand any conservative endorsing this. Your vote goes through the postal workers union, what could go wrong?

[21twelve]

Well, the statewide referendums (mob rule) look better. The $30 flat rate car tabs passed (a couple years ago the state made the tabs based on an inflated value of the vehicle - so $250 for a $11,000 car.)

Also - the “Affirmative Action” bill that was passed a couple of years ago also appears to be shot down. I’m not sure how or if the state legislature has changed.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He came out way ahead.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Yup. Vote by mail was designed to facilitate massive fraud. Ballot harvesting was designed to induce massive fraud. Every time elections take place outside of public forums, extremists win in abundance.

[Midwesterner53]

Another “stunning turnaround, comeback” win for the hard core left! They manage to do that a lot somehow..........

The visitors from Canada are the only friendly people you will run across in Seattle. Well Canadians and waiters, but the waiters are faking it for a bigger tip....

Re: the “Affirmative Action” bill that was passed a couple of years ago also appears to be shot down.

Don’t celebrate yet.

“Referendum 88” was rejected by +4% on Tuesday night.

After three more days of “counting,” rejection is down to a +10,000 vote lead, or just +0.56%.

King County has 6,300 uncounted ballots, so Rejection might hold.

Or, they might “find” another 10,000 uncounted ballots in the trunk of a stolen car, like they did in 2004, when Dino finally got beat after three lawsuits and three recounts.

Yeah, that first Rossi vs. Fraudoire contest was the epitome of 'Rat cheating. Of course Rossi had no chance in the courts when he filed his challenge to the fraud election, since the judicial system there is as crooked as the election system. Look no further than the reputed Republican Sec. of State (Reed), who willingly certified Fraudoire as the "winner", and then had the nerve to tell Rossi to be happy to go after a consolation prize of King Co. Executive, which everyone knew he had no chance of gaining. Then they said he should wait for a rematch with Fraudoire, and of course he got wiped out in that, since the power of incumbency is formidable, plus political re-matches seldom live up to the hype. So Fraudoire gets a second term and Rossi gets a one-way ticket to Palookaville.

I know it is un-Christian to hate anybody, but it is becoming more and more difficult for me (and others I know) to not hate these 'Rats for the despicable things they do.
