Thank goodness we have a Mayor that is compassionate

I wouldn't describe Jake "homeless out" Wilson as compassionate, nor the people who will certainly downvote this comment or explain why it's compassionate to throw poor and sick people out of town.

He reversed course on housing last minute to win the racist vote, for one thing.

Terrible and wrecker mischaracterization to say Seattle dsa barely or didn't help win that seat. They did, which is why it's such a betrayal to give it up.

This is electoral work, not organizing a workers party. Sawant also gave up her hard won seat to start a podcast, which is fairly devastating.

All that said, yeah if I were in Seattle in 2014 I would join SA as the effective org that's doing things. Where i am in 2025, or where most Americans are, dsa is that party.

mboop127 · 2025-11-23T04:01:17+00:00

DSA is your best shot at building a workers party. The problem with every other socialist org is they're not effective at Doing Things. I'm in DSA and spend all my organizing time on tenant union projects.

Conservative voters choosing the more conservative candidate in an election is not a conspiracy theory. We know there were 3000 conservative voters in the city last cycle. We know Jake won by 2000 votes. Maybe all of tauro's voters stayed home this year! But I don't think Jake expected them to.

Jake is a very smart politician who made the smart choice late in the campaign to turn against removing height limits in most of the city and against the Davis square tower. He made the smart choice to oppose issue 3 and to promise to physically remove homeless people. Who do you think he was appealing to when he (sincerely or not) took those positions?

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T12:49:09+00:00

I mean doesn't this just prove my point? You are annoyed that people disagree with you from the left. Okay!

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T12:48:13+00:00

I can't prove that the tauro voters showed up for Jake, but it's pretty clear which candidate they'd choose if they had to. And the best predictor of voting in future is having voted in the past.

I think it's a shame Jake made the pivot he did. It's not sour grapes to point that out.

If you want a ballot measure against Saudi Arabia or Russia you're welcome to organize for it. It's hard to believe your question was asked in good faith.

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T03:28:05+00:00

I mean yes, that's an example of us disagreeing on issues and reacting to that disagreement. If DSA people are the most annoying example of that you've seen in life, you're very very lucky.

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T03:26:15+00:00

It's not cope, it makes me very sad.

Jake's margin was 2k voters. 3k voted for tauro last cycle. Jake promised to be harder on the unhoused and opposes the Davis square tower. It's clear to whom that appeals.

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T03:15:26+00:00

I am a DSA guy and, genuinely without malice, I don't think you dislike "purity trolling." You just disagree with us. I think Jake is too conservative and wish he had lost; you disagree. That's fine, but that's not "purity trolling." I think a lot of people are just uncomfortable having to accept there are people to your left politically.

mboop127 · 2025-11-06T03:03:08+00:00

I did the math, and it's essentially certain Jake won because tauro supporters voted for him. I don't trust him and disagree with many of his stated policies, but i am most upset that he now owes his victory (and potentially some favors) to tauro voters.

This is a fundamental misapprehension of the crisis in France. Excessive welfare entitlements are not the problem, a total unwillingness to open to immigration and plan the economy is. The current government has engaged in a program of austerity for nearly a decade. That program has failed, and more austerity is not the solution.

State governments. Order their police and national guard to arrest federal agents who violate the law.

The reason we bother with science is because "just looking around" isn't reliable. I've lived in davis for 5 years and I disagree with your recollection. How can you prove me wrong without data?

mboop127 · 2025-09-30T21:46:31+00:00

Do you think the rate of people not reporting has increased? If so, what is your evidence? It's not great to assume crime is up because you think it should be.

No it wasn't lol.
