How a Socialist Won (Seattle's Occutard Kshama Sawant & NYC's stale white guy Bill de Blasio)
Socialist Alternative ^ | 1/31/14 | Ramy Khalil, Campaign Manager

**SNIP**

Lesson #9: Join the Fight

Last but not least, we had Kshama Sawant – an intelligent, eloquent, passionate yet tactful immigrant woman of color running against stale establishment white guys in both 2012 and 2013.

Sawant is an impressive speaker and a determined fighter, no doubt. But she is also an ordinary person who happened to attend a couple public forums in 2008 and was impressed with the Socialist Alternative speakers’ political clarity. Through discussions with Socialist Alternative, she decided to dedicate her life to fighting for a socialist world.

Most ordinary people gravely underestimate our own potential to play a role in changing the world. We should follow Sawant’s shining example and commit ourselves to this cause for which there is no greater reward. Nothing in life is more meaningful than fighting alongside other working-class people to end inequality, oppression, and environmental devastation. Join Socialist Alternative today.

In November, nearly 100,000 voters elected her to Seattle City Council – as an open socialist – and she didn’t take a dime in corporate cash!

...as far as you know. If not, she will. Socialists LOVE the free market - just as long as they can manipulate it for their own ends.

I hope they’re ready for when the people they expect to loot from tell them where to go and how to get there.

Liberals aren't as "evolved" as they like to pretend they are (and maybe we should be thankful ... and maybe not).

In NYC, they had a chance to elect the first lesbian mayor. They passed.
They had a chance to elect the second black mayor, the first in 20 years. They passed.
They elected another straight, white guy, but he's married to a black (former) lesbian, so he's cool. That's close enough. Liberating, even.

Granted, I thought that there was no such thing as a former lesbian, but they have two kids, so something's up.

Totally agree...It’s maddening living in a state with a festering bunghole like Seattle deciding every ballot. I say we wall off the city and shoot anything that tries to escape. It’s the only way to be sure.

I live near Pittsburgh and we have our own moonbats here but still, like you in Washington State being dominated by Seattle, we are dominated by Philly so I do share your pain.

Just let my family and I have some warning before you do. When I'm clear of the area, then you can party like it's 1999.
