Militant Moderate
Since we’re playing the Democrats v. Republicans game now …
Having lived in states in which Democrats cannot and do NOT get elected outside of major cities, if the Democrats are responsible for what a great city Seattle is and the awesomeness of Washington, I’d like to thank them.
And if folks aren’t happy here because of the dominance of the Democratic Party, go live in Republican-controlled Oklahoma, Mississippi, or Alabama. Life is too short to live somewhere where you aren’t happy.
Sure, the Dems aren’t perfect, and there are things here and there with which I think that I disagree with most of them.
But here’s the thing: The Democrats have not completely abandoned the notion that there’s such a thing as a “Quality of Life” issue. Contrast that with the GOP, whose mantra seems to be that taxes are theft, that the most important metric of public education (if it should exist at all) is how little it costs (down South, new high school football stadiums are exempted), any laws or oversight on business is straight out of ‘The Communist Manifesto,’ etc.
We’ve got it pretty good here!
And it’ll be even better once the tunnel is completed. You’ll see!
