Seems not.

I seriously doubt anyone at this plant will take it over and start producing bases just because some random city council member told them to do that.

You found it interesting enough to comment on a small regional issue but seem to not understand why others might find them interesting also.

Yes, I found the title interesting enough to click on it and comment on it after reading it, in that sense you are correct. But like that issue, this one also is a non-issue.

It's a bit of an issue that enough people feel that simply taking what you want is a legitimate position to have voted for this person.

She is speaking about nationalizing some factories, she does not have the authority to order workers to 'take them over'. She is concerned for the welfare of our workforce, a concept alien to the right.

Do you know that is why people voted for this person? And what did they think one socialist member of a city council might accomplish other than opening up a diologue outside of the typical two party system? I have always said if a third party wants to become relevant in national politics, they need to start at city and state levels. This rule goes for all parties that wish to be the third party. Though I still don't think this one socialist city council member is going to have any real effect in Seattle or Washington without working with other Democrats.
