Yeah my instinct is optimism here, but I've learned to recoil from my optimism.

crunching more numbers, it looks like kshama only needs about 55% of the remaining votes to win (reminder she got 59.3% of today’s drop) cautiously optimistic

All the burnouts remembered to turn their ballots last minute. I got mine in to the gas works ballot box at 8pm on the 5th and it hasn't been counted yet.

Man, even I was surprised by how drastically it turned in Sawant's favor. Based on the other results that updated today, after all that money spent by Amazon and Moms for Seattle or whatever it's called, they got only one of their preferred candidates in (or zero if something crazy happens in the next ballot drop for Scott)

Just signed up to help with the Rebecca Parsons campaign for wa06. Her platform is really really good. Helped out Joshua Collins last week a bit but definitely not driving all the way to Olympia. Haven't done alot of political stuff since 2016 after the whole kick in the gut of Bernie then some medical problems and then then tromp. Kinda excited to get back on the horse. Any of yall doin stuff?

Want to send out a big "gently caress you" to all Snohomish County voters that voted in the Sheriff candidate Adam Fortney. Any police officer whining that "instead of criminals, police are the ones that are being cuffed by regulations" is someone that wants to be above the law and should not even wear a badge.

Of course, this year it was bought for $850k, demolished, and now a 3 story pseudo-Craftsman McMansion is there in its place, spread across the entire lot, where you could probably fit four of the kind of place I'm living in, to say nothing of 10+ apartments. I wouldn't have minded the construction noise so much if it hadn't been going toward something so wasteful. It's not even the ugliest of the teardown/replacement houses in this neighborhood either. Like, I know everyone hates on developers for that kind of development, but they can probably get more money for 4 modest homes than one mongo home, the reason they don't build that in in-demand, dense urban areas is usually because they can't.

Not only Sawant, Pugel is also gettin beat now too! I think this puts it at only one race that Amazon stole from us? Edit: NM on that, I guess pederson didn't get amazon money but he just sucks and we should canvas the U district harder next time. silicone thrills fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Nov 9, 2019 |

I'm so happy to see the day when the Chamber of Commerce loses control of the city council. And all it took was Amazon trying to ham-handedly do the same thing (as a single, giant, more obviously troubling business).

I just meant that "Amazon donates $tons to X candidate" is easier for people to see as a problem than "The Chamber of Commerce supports X candidate", even though the chamber of commerce is a stand-in for the same lovely and misguided business interests that include Amazon. Basically, Amazon accidentally let people see behind the mask of propriety.

I'm moving out of District 3 this weekend, and I was going to be real pissed to leave it in the hands of Orion. Now I can allow myself a sliver of optimism for the future of this city. By the way, I saw on twitter a statement Durkan made (to Crosscut for some article) when asked about the city council results, and lol. It's 90% "look how progressive I am too, really".

Honestly regardless of how anyone feels, the fact that for the last couple of days conservatives have been running "AMAZON BEAT THE SOCIALIST" Headlines and idiots like Dori Monson dancing on her graves now look even stupider then usual. Also didn't Orion already declare victory election night too?

5) Outrageous name-calling Whether it was calling Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Seattle’s biggest job provider, “our enemy,” or referring to Seattle police officers who had been exonerated in a shooting as murderers, Sawant has certainly come up with vivid insults for people with whom she disagrees over the years lmao sawant owns

All of mynorthwest's news stories are pretty horseshit right wing stuff. Hell, Dori Monson writes for them now. They have a couple decent sportswriters but they specifically target right wing boomers (but I repeat myself).

Javid posted:I'm next door in Jackson county; Yes they did, it's literally where that "maam there is nobody I can send" 911 call came from; yes, they finally actually found a way to fund it that the voters wouldn't reject, which passed in 2016. I remember hearing a bit on OPB... last year? where they were talking about some county in Southern Oregon, in which rural fire services were largely provided by private departments. There was reportedly some issue where people were getting financially burned because subscribers to one of the departments would call for help, and then the other department would get there first and bill them the non-subscriber rate. The guy being interviewed then said "but we don't necessarily want big gov't solutions either, so it's tough."

Remember this rear end in a top hat? Apparently he’s still kicking around. https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2019/11/far-right-activist-ammon-bundys-rush-to-save-an-idaho-ranch-ends-without-standoff.html quote:“It is our determination that the Nickersons did not uphold their obligation to the contract,” Bundy said, “and that forceful removal of the family from the property was warranted to protect the rights of the bank’s shareholders.” Government bad, but banks good!
