John and his daughter Sophia came to the Initiative 1098 election-night party for the vibe—"I figured it'd be more of a wake than a celebration, but a wake can still be fun," says John. He's a passionate voter who has voted for the Green Party for the past three elections; he started volunteering for the 1098 campaign after Labor Day. When asked his opinion on 1098's impending doom, John castigates delusional Americans: "When the majority of Americans think they are middle-class, you have to recognize that the line between aspirational and delusional is thin." His daughter Sophia, 21, says she thinks it's because people her age don't vote—"A lot of them voted for Obama, but now they're disillusioned." They also told us that they canceled their Seattle Times subscription because of its anti-worker endorsements—John's wife is a Metro bus driver. They leave SECB in search of illusive promised drink tickets. The wake will commence soon.
