A time element for the election would be nice here to understand the context. I've not lived in Seattle for 25 years, so I don't remember the cycles, and I'm too mentally exhausted to deal with a search engine.

Elections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.

The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

Can't be worse than Paul Schell.

Wasn't old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who's been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao

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.

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.
