Sweeping this election under the rug and simply carrying on as we have been is a recipe for disaster, a group of nearly 90 Democratic officials and volunteers wrote in an open letter this week, promising an as-yet-unnamed challenger to state Democratic Party Chairman Jaxon Ravens." Every thing is fine. We didn't lose anything important. The majority of the people love us and support us.

Of course, if you look at the map all the counties, except for 2 are West of the Cascades. The problem is that those counties think that they are enlightened and much smarter than those of us who live on the East side of the mountains.
I might add that even in counties in the East where the Democrats used to have a large footprint, because of the Democrat policies not benefitting those counties there has been a sea-change.

The Washington Democratic Party is doing some soul searching, Is a Democrat soul searching like bigfoot hunting? They are sure there is something there, but they keep on coming back with zero evidence.

Go hard left...communist, in fact.
And get a hardcore, anti-Semitic Muslim to lead you there.
To: mdittmar
Heh, heh. The path “forward”. I see what you did there, Seattle Times.

Doomed to wander crying in the wilderness....
“Search and rescue” of stranded Democrats may soon become merely a recovery action. I hope they used a Sharpie to write their Social Security number on several places on their bodies, so they may be more easily identified when found.

I can remember when you could get a fairly balanced POV from the times. The PI was always reliably hard-left. Now they’re both unworthy of even birdcage liners.

Maybe there won’t be so many communist votes in Seattle if they can be defunded for being a sanctuary city.

I'm not so sure. Seattle has been a bastion of left-wing commie pinko Libturds for long before they were a Sanctuary City.
Here's a pic of a statue of Lenin that stands in an area in Seattle known as Pioneer Square that's been there since at least the 1990s.

I live in Seattle so I have seen the statue of Lenin.
It is in the Fremont District of Seattle which has always been libtard. When I was at the University of Washington where we had sort of a soft brand of hippies, the hardcore heavy drug users were all in the Fremont District, which is about four miles from the University District.
Somehow the Fremont groupthink has pervaded the rest of Seattle.

>> Nationally, Democrats will be out of power in the House, the Senate and the presidency for the first time since 2006.
I disagree. In 2006, the RINO rubber-stampers of Democrat policies were in charge. (If they were real conservatives, they would have gotten SOMETHING done.) So the Democrat party was out of power in name only.

Maybe they aren’t shoving their leftist agenda down our throats with enough vigor.

Two Yakima City Council members return from Washington, D.C., with renewed hope
While it is unclear what shape any action will take, Yakima City Councilwoman Carmen Mendez feels inspired to make Yakima a safe place for residents living in fear about a new president.
Mendez and Councilwoman Dulce Gutierrez represented Yakima at the New American Leaders Project conference in Washington, D.C., last week and came home with new ideas for problems such as homelessness and bullying.
The most important takeaway for Mendez, however, was how to respond to residents in light of an election that left many fearful.

Ah. So you can verify that this has been the case since before the Sanctuary City was a glimmer in a Libturd’s eye.
