What would it even take for Seattle to start shrinking? A tech bubble burst? A massive Earthquake? A revolution?

Collapse of global trade, collapse of the tech industry, or maybe a recession or depression. A couple are very possible.

There's a dude here named "Biome" who runs for random positions at the county level at every opportunity. With that name you'd expect him to be full-on hippy, plastic ban, no GMO, etc, right? nope!

cheetah7071 posted:Is she just a blue seatwarmer rather than a real good senator? I never really hear about her She and Patty Murray are basically blue noise generators. The good senators are one state south. I'm in the 3rd CD so I'm praying for a miracle that Dave McDevitt beats Jaime Herrera Beutler. Pretty loving unlikley, but he's a better candidate than the last two cycles produced, with an actual progressive platform (single payer, >$15 min wage, free college, etc.) so it'd be great if he could ride a wave.

Cantwell is the Boeing pocket senator and my internal monologue puts her in the same category as Schumer and Pelosi. We need younger blood.

I mean thats pretty much a tradition for at least one of the Senator from Washington to also be the Senator from Boeing. *cough* Scoop Jackson *cough* Young blood just means they will be the Senator from Amazon. Also as someone who got re-districted into Reichert's district the year before I turned 18 I am happy to now have a chance to flip a seat blue. Also on the Strangers site it was amusing seeing Adam Smith advertising on the page that was endorsing his DSA primary opponent. Jack2142 fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Jul 19, 2018 |

Bipartisan policymaking is the dirty word it always should have been at this point. Joe Lieberman penned an op-ed the other day and was laughed into hell. Also Paul Ryan isn’t a senator. No on credible is opposing Cantwell. Too bad.

Lmao I just got an email from Rep. Derek Kilmer with the subject line "Imagine if you couldn't use Facebook." I mean, I kind of wish I didn't have to use it, Derek. He's generally a pretty good solid Dem despite being bland as hell but that was a little
