What about all the poor Capitalists?
Will no one speak for them?

Who will see to it that those unlimited mountains of cash
continue to help us to choose 'our' decisions-makers?

Remember what 'our' Supreme Court says:
Money talks, everyone else ... walks.

This is great, we need more candidates that don't take money from corporations!!! #TeamKshama!!!!

Er, the difference between ANY two political parties is "mostly philosophical," isn't it?

Socialists So White

@5, you realize both of the candidates, Sawant and Scott are people of color?

7

@6 Yep. The only two who aren't white in a room of Whitey McWhiteys.

8

Whoa. They sent the Big guns.

9

Somebody needs to learn to count. Ain't no hundred folx in dat room.

It's true, with this many white people, there is no way this organization is not racist and evil.

It needs to be disbanded, and branded a hate group. Someone call the SPLC.

"Event organizer Emily McArthur, who's a member of both DSA and SA, told me that Morales was "enthusiastic" when she was first invited to participate in the evening, but ended up cancelling by e-mail "a week or two" ago. In an interview with The Stranger earlier this month, Morales said she was a member of DSA but didn't embrace Socialism."

A lot going on in this paragraph, not the least amongst it, SA's potential trouble-making entryism.

12

Oh for God's sake...nope. Nope. Nope.

@9 Remember the one thing socialists are good at is creating run away inflation and destroying wealth and capital. So 50 white people in a room can easily become 100 diverse people in a room.

Oh the poor little snowflakes. The gimmie croud.

@13:

Tammy Morales' husband makes way more than $250 K. According to Salary.com, in Seattle: "The base salary for Physician - Gastroenterology ranges from $341,020 to $476,988 with the average base salary of $403,965."

Tammy Morales' house is valued closer to two million than one million dollars.

I suspect that for Tammy Morales, the idea of being a Champagne Socialist has lost it's fizz.

1 You are so right on. Please everybody cry crocodile tears for the billionaires having such a hard time from threats of socialism.

Who cares how much $ Tammy is worth if she will fight for the underdog with us underdogs then more power to her.

26 persons own half the world’s wealth. This is unacceptable. Share the wealth not the misery. Follow the lead of the french yellow vests who are on a national strike now for antipoverty benefits and social justice concerns.

This mayor ruthlessly incarcerated several Occupy persons and that were held in solitary confinement.
Those who want to stop poverty are brutally attacked by those in power.

White people that are willing to fight for oppressed people are welcome to join up with these movements. Many white working and poor people are oppressed as well by the plutocracy.
