Seattle Just Elected a Socialist Barista As Mayor
Amy Curtis

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have been making moves to install their preferred candidates across the country. Zohran Mamdani won in New York, and while Omar Fateh lost in Minneapolis, the socialists captured the city council.

In Oregon, a socialist who wants a 90 percent tax rate is on the school board and running for the state legislature. And Seattle just elected a socialist as their mayor.

Meet Katie Wilson, who unseated incumbent Democrat Bruce Harrell.

Here's more:

    Socialist Katie Wilson has defeated Democratic incumbent Bruce Harrell to become Seattle's next mayor. The election, which occurred on November 4, saw Harrell in the lead by 7 points, but Wilson gained ground over a week later as mail-in ballots continued to be counted.

    The latest ballot count on November 12 showed Wilson leading by nearly 2,000 votes, enough for the race to be called for the Socialist barista, with 50.08 percent to Harrell's 49.59 percent.

    Wilson, 43, a progressive community organizer and co-founder of the Transit Riders Union, has never held elected office. Her campaign, similar to that of newly elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, focused on "Trump-proofing Seattle," increasing taxes on big businesses and the wealthy, rent control, and doubling down on the homeless industrial complex. Additionally, she vowed to ensure Seattle remains a sanctuary city for illegal migrants, according to her campaign website.

The election of socialists and democratic-socialists is emblematic of the decline of the Dem party among younger and minority voters - significant Dem voter blocs that are walking away from Dem Party.

I think I see the problem there...

A 7 point lead reduced through mail-in ballots?

Keep counting until you win...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Seattle elects its own 'White female Mamdani' as mayor…who still lives on her parents' dime
Story by Eliot Force • 20h

Seattle has elected its first democratic socialist mayor, echoing the recent victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City's mayoral contest.

Katie Wilson, 43, had a nearly 2,000-vote lead over incumbent Bruce Harrell as of Wednesday, making it impossible for him to close the gap with just over 1,300 remaining votes to be counted.
 
Like Mamdani, Wilson ran on a campaign characterized by promises to increase affordability in the city. Another core part of her platform is addressing Seattle's homelessness crisis, which is one of the worst in the country.

Critics have called Wilson privileged and out of touch, as she regularly receives checks from her professor parents to pay for childcare.

She lives in a 600 sf apartment with her kid and fellow activist hubby. She's a college drop out and has never had a job. She wants everyone to live like her.

Just look at the Congress. How many of them ever had a job requiring  serious manual labor that raised a serious sweat, where you went home bone tired, knowing you had to get up tomorrow and do the same thing?

Exactly (not to mention paying taxes, clipping coupons to buy food for their families, and keeping a budget).
