The city of Seattle keeps voting for this.
The King County election system has been crooked for decades. It does not matter what people "vote" for. What they get is what the Democrat Party leaders decide they are going to get.
The real vote takes place in small meetings of the party officials and assorted corporate executives. The "Elections" are only for show to keep the marks quiet.
People will tolerate an amazing degree of political corruption when they believe they might get a small piece of the action. It is a losing game, like buying lottery tickets, but people seem to want to play.
