Well good for you.
I happen not to be so trusting.

Where? When? Who? There has been very rare cases of people falsely submitting a dead person's ballot, but that is easily catchable. Helping people get to the polls (both sides do it) is not "vote dumping".

Ok you win.
Happy now?

We don't have polls here. We have mail in ballots and ballot dropoff boxes. Sawant's goons shouldn't be allowed to canvas across Capitol Hill and print out ballots on site and have people vote at these canvas sites on the spot. There is a reason you are not allowed to campaign near ballot dropoff boxes, this is basically campaigning where people are voting. This is how she wins these elections and it is fraught with grey areas that circumvent the intention of our voting laws. The Seattle Times need to do an expose on this and this kind of campaigning where you print out a ballot and have people vote on the spot there needs to be banned. It makes a mockery of our mail in ballot system. This is very different from helping people get to the polls.

The psychology of extremism can help explain how our society has turned into a 24/7 culture war. The latest "Reality Check with John Avlon: Extremist Beat" examines the science between what's causing people on the left and right to grow more extreme - with social psychology professor Jonathan

A very valid point.

Sawant’s goons, a/k/a: Brown Shirts, a/k/a: NKVD members will intimidate passive/non confrontational people to vote for Sawant… Out of fear.

Sawant is a threat to democracy, even if it’s only locally. She has an ability to and has disrupted operations within an entire city with her beyond Far-Left ideals. Funny, but a hundred years ago, an idiot named Hitler caused massive chaos in Munich by first openly challenging Democracy and it didn’t work out too well for him since he almost got shot for that criminal act. Hitler later learn that you can destroy Democracy, by using Democracy, itself via the vote.

And no, I’m not saying that Sawant is a Hitler, but unlike Hitler, she will NEVER have the power that Hitler had, but Sawant has used passive aggressive tactics to install a sense of fear to the weak, which both Hitler and Stalin mastered. Btw, IMHO, both Hitler and Stalin are basically the same and if you look at both Fascism and Communism, they basically operation and maintain control by using the same techniques.

During 2020, Sawant demonstrated a willingness to bend the law and/or policies to achieve her goals in Seattle AND openly and without any shame, lie about it afterwards.

Sad, but I still think Sawant will win in this recall effort and she will continue to destroy Seattle by using Seattle against itself. The only good thing about Sawant is that she is truly despised outside of Seattle city limits and cannot be elected be elected to anything higher than a seat on the Seattle city’s counsel.

Absolutely.

And she can live off of her Silicon Valley divorce money without her part-time hobby as a Council member who stirs the pot.

If she gets recalled the SCC train-crash will appoint her successor....even with them it couldn't get worse than Sawant

[usernametaken]

Seems like she has many fans too.
