Local/State Politics: Engage Now Or Die!

I like those CM’s. They got a sense of humor.

There is a stain on Seattle named Kshama Sawant who just announced she won’t be running for city council re-election.

That’s great but some of you in other parts of the country might start getting familar with her. She’s taking her Socialist crusade national.

The voters of California deserve this.

[Bammer]

I don’t know who either of those people are

It's better for you that you don't.

Jfc I saw on the news where a Seattle city councilmember was challenging the notion that late fees incentivize people to pay for things (parking tickets, mortgage, rent, bills, you name it … even returning library books) on time.

When are you going to announce your candidacy?

Trag, (this post probably belongs in the local government thread by the way):

I wouldn’t necessarily subscribe to the idea that members of XYZ committee are better equipped to vet a bill covering XYZ topic than the members of a different committee. In my experience very few people in XYZ committee have close working knowledge of XYZ topic. They move very quickly (at least in WA) throughout their day talking about gun laws, then salmon population, then housing, then drugs, then whether or not to tack on $1 to the cost of each Mariners ticket for SoDo neighborhood improvements, to stem cell research, etc. it’s like speed dating from one issue to the next in rapid succession, and again, members of XYZ committee are not necessarily experts on XYZ topic.

Yeah but that’s what legislative services divisions are for dawg

*Bammer dislikes this response*

Spoiler: show

Because I don’t really know what it means

FUCK ICE

LSD was originally created by the Legislature

Albert Hofmann might have a thing or two to say about that

[E.H. Ruddock]

Crazy that only blue States waste billions of dollars!

NC spent billions on a rail system that was never built.

Be sure and post those instances of corruption as they become known.

We just can’t get our shit together in general as a country

We just need to vote for the other political party, and when that party has total control of the government, then the corruption will stop.

Careful Burt, it’s a slippery slope to my sort of moderate political stance

I'm nothing if not a centrist:
