seattle politicians get all weird about an organizer in office, it short circuits their brains when someone isn't entirely beholden to corporate donors & NIMBYs, good thing all the "sensible moderates" just got done trashing every possible council norm, not gonna be hearing their complaints

Harrell did this in Seattle and Wilson would be similarly justified in purging Bruce dead-enders

"The Dead Enders"
#DOOMLOOP #Seattle
Rob: *Me* a dead-ender? I'm the guy who saved Curby! Joy: Sure I tried to create a permanent subminimum wage. But I saved the “Hot Rat Summer” mosaic! Maritza: I’m currently looking for new henchwoman opportunities Bob: my next bill will make it extra-super illegal to do graffiti *while* street racing Debora: I came here to keep this chair warm and vote with Sara Nelson, and we're all out of Sara Nelson Dan: I'm not like them! Look, my nose is growing back! [pointing at a tiny nose]

"Deep Cover"
#DOOMLOOP #seattle
BUSINESSSMAN: Fellow business leaders, for the first time in 12 years we're locked out of the mayor's office. However. -We sent a deep cover operative into the Transit Riders Union to expose our new mayor’s hidden agenda. Meet Kyle. KYLE: For 6 months I lived on a barista's wages in a market-rate apartment. I traveled only by bike or bus. -In that time the most important thing I learned was this: -You people made the city into a meatgrinder for the working class and you must be stopped [businesspeople aghast] [two men grab Kyle by the arms as he struggles] -Oh my god they flipped Kyle! -Get him out of here!

Post-Election Vibe Check with Rob
#DOOMLOOP #seattle #curby
ROB: Watching council president Sara get obliterated at the polls on Tuesday got me thinking -What type of legacy am *I* building at City Hall? -Will people remember me for my deep commitment to affordability and traffic safety? -Or my eloquent oratory in defense of equity and social justice? -Or perhaps- [CURBY appears as an apparition] CURBY: Ahem -There’ll be no left turns for you, ROB

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

The reactionary centrists are not ready for what's coming at them with Katie Wilson. They have no natural defenses against a socialist bus-riding mom who's laser-focused on providing direct material gains for the working poor. Probably the most pragmatic left-politician I've ever met
