I think the latest city council election is going to show that Seattle sadly wants more of the same problems and people like us are unwelcome

I don't know, Sawant got way less than was expected in the primaries (36.7% [1]), and I think a lot of folks are in the Sawant or anti-Sawant camp whereby all on the non-Sawant primary votes will consolidate to Orion.

Or people blew off the primaries sure that she'd take the general. ️

She actually did pretty well considering many thought she would get primaried out. All the other incumbents look pretty secure as well

At least Mike O'Brien is out. His replacement may end up being more of the same, but at least it's some kind of change.
