Liberals ruin everything they touch.
One of the many homeless encampments throughout Seattle.
I grew up in a suburb of Seattle, which even though has been ruled by demorats since 1969, use to be a semi-safe place to visit. As kids, we lived across the lake and would bus it to downtown Seattle to visit the Center, food fairs and even concerts.
Now, I’d never venture anywhere to downtown due to rampant crime, homelessness and open drug use on the streets. You can read more about the failures of demorat-run Seattle in my parts 1 and 2 that I’ve posted here.
Democrat Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell
The current demorat mayor, Bruce Harrell, had promised to address the city’s many issues, of course. Yet after a year and a half in office, absolutely nothing has improved in the city.
I was just in Seattle in May (for a funeral) and saw the disaster with my own eyes. But don’t just take my word for it.
Take the word of a 23-year veteran of the Seattle Police Department, Lieutenant Jessica Taylor, who says that “criminal are running this city.”
Jason Rantz from KTTH radio reports that Taylor resigned, sending the Seattle Police Chief a scathing 15-page letter. Take a look at what Taylor has to say:
“Chief Diaz, let me tell you, the state of the Seattle Police Department and this city is a disgrace,” she wrote in the letter she shared with the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “The toxic mix of the Seattle City Council’s absurdity, the spinelessness of the Mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor’s office, and your failed leadership has accelerated this city’s downhill slide straight to rock bottom. The problems were already brewing before you came on the scene, but since your arrival, it’s been a free fall into anarchy & chaos.”
Taylor also blames the Seattle City Council for playing politics and catering to the radicals in the region.

Seattle just had a primary election for Council members and, of course, all the incumbents appear to be safe and in strong positions heading into the November election. Nevermind the fact that the city they govern is a hot mess.
The cognitive dissonance in democrats is astounding. By committing even further to their beliefs, they will NEVER learn this important lesson:
DCG
And will not change till people wake up and run the demorats out and clean the criminals to make it safe for family’s to live there.
And yet voters in these failed cities and states just keep voting Democrat, despite the rampant and ever-increasing crime, “homeless” vagrants, cost-of-living. Being Democrat/Progressive truly is a mental illness.
Maybe it’s the machines voting these people back into office.
In Washington, it’s mail-in ballots. Been that way for decades…

No, it’s the people – they’ve been reliably voting “D” for decades – they truly ARE that stupid!
And they’ll vote for their own race every time, no matter how awful the candidate is.
Ditto on not vote-rigging. 1+ years ago, I was living in a very-blue city and state, and was surrounded by blue zombies who, not even knowing me, just assumed I was one. That’s how near-uniformly Demonrat those places are.
Voter IDs say otherwise.
Unbelievable looking at the picture of the Seattle mayor, with his chest puffed out–what in Heaven’s name does he have to boast about , , , , what, being “King of a garbage heap! You could just as well replace the name Seattle, with Portland and all the facts would apply. We, the taxpayers are fleeced to pay for this pitiful showing of governance.
This police officer was spot on when she told them “It s none of your business” when given a exit interview questionnaire, that asked what her future plans were. Good for her.
Why can’t they recognize what they’re doing?
