Imagine somehow going broke when you own all of the oil in the world and every car in the world uses it. Only guy who can relate to that is someone who somehow bankrupted a casino in a country full of gambling addicts

This may not be entirely fair but a reason I don’t think mayor Pete has It is because he polled zero percent among Black voters, the demographic which - can’t say this without sounding condescending but - usually gets it right, early, when it comes to candidates

Again I am dying not to drive. I don’t want to drive. If you make spaces for all it gets people like me off the roads and less traffic for the people that want to drive.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Woo hoo!!!!

a famous wealthy rapist was enthusiastic to put another famous wealthy rapist on the Supreme Court, where he would go on to give the famous wealthy rapist who appointed him total immunity from prosecution

Being good at making money doesn’t mean you’re good at anything else. It definitely doesn’t mean your opinions on anything else are important. It most likely just means you’re ruthless, which is the primary trait of most rich people.

Actually, one more point. Driving up to Snoqualmie Pass in the snow is a privilege. Don't have snow tires? Or snow chains? Or a 4WD? Or a car at all? Then you're SOL. A bus levels the playing field and opens the snow to everyone. Let's get it done, Metro.

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot. Vote in your local elections! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Well, I guess next year I can't vote for you unless there is a "-Socialist" after "Democrat" by your name.

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Don't forget you can also email them—go to their website and click the contact option. Speaking as someone sitting in an airport and not making phone calls.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all. Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

I am always the one coming in hot to drop my ballot off. I love the energy in this city on Election Day. Watching young people run and get excited to vote is best.

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

I love my city so much. Especially in the fall.

From the top rope

This is clearly critical of the government of Israel but I’ve never seen a shred of evidence that Mamdani holds antisemitic views. The only thing they can cite is a slogan he didn’t say.

The thing about the billionaires failing to stop Mamdani is what they spent is about the equivalent as a normal person sticking a 20 in a slot machine and shrugging when it doesn't hit. Kind of a problem.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

What an excellent, inspiring speech from Mamdani. I haven’t felt chills like this… ever?

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

🔥🔥🔥

Hearing MSNBC say that you couldn't run Mamdani anywhere other than NYC because it's "cosmopolitan" is so frustrating. He could win in Chicago. He could win in Portland. He could win in LA. Bernie, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren are very popular among Democrats across the nation. Move to the left!

folks we still got prop 50 coming in CA if you’re in line to lib out stay in line

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.* The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

No! C'mon man

Big salute to whoever put these up at U District station.

“Mister Speaker, do you know your own name? Can you state what country you are in? What is the current year?”

The last community I’m feeling sorry for are the New York billionaires threatening to leave the city if Mamdani wins on Tuesday because they don’t want to pay more taxes. We have folks who don’t know how they’re going to feed their kids tomorrow—in the richest country on earth.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

the tone deafness is beyond parody

Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close. And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness. Musk is everything he hated.

Toasted Seattle: mention “can I put this on my neighbors tab” and SNAP recipients can receive free breakfast for their family. 👇🏽

We invented programs like SNAP and ACA because we're supposed to be leaving a better world behind for the generations that follow us, not wielding poverty against the marginalized

Today through Election Day (Tuesday, November 4th), people in Seattle can get two free 30-minute rides on a Lime bike or scooter. It's part of the company's Lime to the Polls campaign. Use code "VOTE2025" Here's a map of ballot drop boxes in King County: kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

We deserve better. Dehumanizing our neighbors by using photos of them on their worst days without their consent is unacceptable. We have a lot of work to do to address homelessness, but this only moves us further from that goal by othering real people in an attempt to score cheap political points.
