It still sounds to me that you are complaining because there are more people voting Democratic.Michael K. wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 7:24 pmAgain, find the last time a Republican had a chance in an election that included King County? You will have to look back some ways. Yes, Smiley needed more votes. Aint happening in this State where half the total votes come from Seattle, a place where 75% of the votes are Blue, regardless of the canidate.gil wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 11:02 pm
Smiley just needed more votes, period. What county gave her the most votes? Pierce, followed closely by King. (Final total might change.)
What county gave Matt Larkin the most votes? King.
I know lots of people who would have considered a "moderate" Republican in the last election. I have friends whose kid is in the high school where there was a murder yesterday. Do you think they are happy about crime? Policing? Homelessness? Hell fucking no. But I doubt they would every vote for someone who would not say that Biden was legitimacy elected, or was wishy washy about supporting abortion rights.
And no, I don't think the majority over there care about crime. That is why they continue to vote for the people that refuse to punish it.
People here don't care about crime? That is just a stereotype, and pure BS IMO. In the last Seattle elections, by the way, the further left candidates for Mayor and a city wide Council position lost. And a Republican was elected City Attorney. Yeah there are some far out left wing nuts, but even Sawant almost lost the recall vote.
