    Nah but the libs keep electing conservative Dems.

    Edit: Guarantee these downvotes are coming from people who don’t live in a solid blue city. There is only one viable party so you get all flavors of democrats, the most conservative ones always win mayor and the majority of city council.

      The head of the city council is also against the recent referendum to shift local elections to even years, which would likely increase turn out. Higher turn out usually means more progressive votes

        I mean Sarah Nelson thought we could reduce traffic by using kayaks in Elliott Bay for freight, so she’s just a font of good ideas.

        Let’s not forget the major gerrymandering that was done to the 3rd district to push out socialist Kshama Sawant.
