"White female mamdani" is just fucking insane 💀 Also seattle is extremely woke compared to the rest of the us so good luck creating backlash. Its gonna be all the people from several states away who have nothing to do with it that complain. Same thing with NY, a lot of the people saying how "new york will fall" were from texas and whatever.
they had to emphasize she is white and a female, they dont consider her human. Mamdani has defintely got the dnc scared to the point they had to reveal thier true colors as racists and islamophobc like the gop they are.
It's a satrap of the Boeing/Amazon Imperium with all the existential horror that implies.
Case in point, Seattle hosts no less than five Superfund Sites for toxic waste cleanup. You cannot fish in several of it's major waterways due to the accumulated contamination.
It was a major perpetrator of Red Lining, creating enormous ghettos that suffer from neglect and hyper-policing to this day.
But we don't have anyone in the City Council screaming the N-word during campaign events or promising to deport 100M people if elected to higher office, so it gets the reputation of Woke by comparison.
Corpus Christi is on the verge of losing water pressure across the entire municipality, because the city administration looted the funds for desalination facilities too aggressively.
That's just the tip of the iceberg on Texas politics right now.
But sure, they've made a cottage industry of heckling the other major economic heavyweights in the country.
The "compared to the rest of the us" carried a lot of weight in my argument and you left that out in quoting me but other than that yeah i agree.
