> [@BlankSlate](#): > > Acey is the kind of guy who agrees that Trump is evil incarnate, but when election day rolls around, he’ll say, ‘aw shucks, the Democrat party just didn’t give me a choice.’ ⁢ I don’t see that at all. I think he’s just kinda gullible, and listens to the type of sensationalist, overdramatic stuff my dad watches. I notice he also will make thread about one of those sensationalist media videos—the ones about celebs and actors and stuff. But I do think he is firmly anti-Trump, and liberal if not progressive. I think he doesn’t have a good BS filter. He relies a lot on the board to help him tell what is true. My dad also does this. He never buys into Trump-level hatred, or being scared of people not like him. But he’ll still sometimes assume that the right wing stuff got the basic facts right. But he listens and learns when I debunk things. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > We got off on a tangent, so I’m bringing it here. What the hell is your problem with Seattle? I don’t have any problems with Seattle or San Francisco. I was using them as two examples of progressive run cities. There are others like Portland. The Walz thread was discussing his alignment as a progressive politician. I was trying to understand what that means. How would he govern if something happened to Harris. The best examples of progressives measures are in Seattle, San Francisco and Portland. The true test of any political theory is to see the results. Some Progressive politicians have been in charge in those cities for several years. I wasn’t attacking Walz or progressives. I was trying to contribute to an election thread. I’ve already accepted Harris as the only sensible choice in this election. I have never liked her, but she’s a thousand times better than Trump. ---

You said you didn’t support what the Progressives in Seattle were doing. So, I’m curious what those things are. > [@Kamala Harris's choice of Tim Walz as VP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kamala-harriss-choice-of-tim-walz-as-vp/1005352/146): > > I support those issues. > > That’s not what Progressives are doing in Seattle and San Francisco ---

The problems in progressives cities are well known. San Francisco has been discussed in imho threads. Homeless tents on the sidewalks. Drug use directly outside the stores. Shit on the sidewalks Businesses closing because people are afraid to go downtown and shop. Woke DA’s refusing to prosecute crime San Francisco gets most of the press. I don’t know if Seattle is similar. [I know the recent election removed several progessive leaders](https://www.theurbanist.org/2023/11/25/takeaways-from-seattles-2023-election/). It’s not my city and certainly not my political concern. I wouldn’t put up with it. I’d get out of that situation and live & work somewhere else. YMMV I wouldn’t even bring it up because I don’t live there. Honestly, I don’t give a damn what happens in a city over a thousand miles from my home. But Walz is an acknowledged progressive. He could be President if something happens to Harris. ---

Seriously, if you don’t trust the old 3 networks & CNN, try Reuters or BBC news. They’re pretty objective. Well the BBC is pretty objective about the US at least. I use that pair and NPR, but NPR is considered a Liberal mouth piece by some sadly. ---

I live in a high crime area. I see the gang graffiti every day 2 blocks from my home. The only comfort I have is active police enforcement. They’re doing everyrhing possible to keep me and my family safe. I am thinking about leaving the city after I retire. But for now I can’t deal with a long commute. ---

Yes, there have been problems, especially a few years back, but currently Seattle is Progressive and doing fine. I’m off to a Mariner game tomorrow night, and I don’t expect to see homeless tents on the sidewalks, drug use outside of stores, or shit on the sidewalk.
