We had a big local election this week, plus statewide votes on some important issues. So we brought in four people to tell us what the results say about our political future.

First up: Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant, who appears to have won her race in Seattle’s 3rd District against challenger Pamela Banks. Sawant tells us why it’s a kind of “revolution” to have a socialist elected to another term in this city.

Then we hear from three political consultants: Christian Sinderman, the guy behind many of the “establishment” council candidates who appear to have won; John Wyble, the guy behind many of this year’s “insurgent” council challengers; and Sandeep Kaushik, who has some feelings about the “Move Seattle” and “Honest Elections” measures, and who also claims he can win ANY vote if you give him $1.4 million, a crayon, and a photocopy of his own ass.

Plus, as always, the music of the amazing Ahamefule J. Oluo!
