Republican Davison +17 over police abolitionist Thomas-Kennedy in Seattle City Attorney Race

The elephant in the room here is that the progressive coalition aside from SAlt—Progressive Party and Democratic progressives, People’s Party, and DSA—went too far in their campaign rhetoric. SAlt may be very much into class warfare rhetoric, but they do not advocate for extreme policies the people aren’t ready for and that would lead to confusion and are not the ones to advocate violent rhetoric against property. SAlt focuses on simple stuff like minimum wage increases, affordable housing, and advocates police reform and defunding for community programs (it should be noted that Kshama Sawant has worked with employing the current police chief and her party views police as workers like any other).

None of the other parties had much idea of cooking together, and they didn’t know what to serve against the big order of the duopoly, so we had incompetent cooks in the kitchen and the more experienced chef was too preoccupied with not wasting enough resources so as to cook tomorrow.

Ultimately they gave it their all and were close to victory if not mainly for factors outside of their control, such as Covid raising fixed costs and the dark money and astroturfing on social media promoting lies. Still, as I noted previously, the coalition made errors in campaigning that would have at least got NTK over the finish line leading to a progressive-dominated Seattle even without the mayoralty.

Now however is not time to reminisce or dwell in the past, but move forward in preparing for battles to come.
