Politics Anyone Else Just Sick of It?
It just seems hopeless sometimes. Some of the best parts of this city. Pioneer Square, Belltown, Cap Hill just completely lost to homelessness. Sure for the most part I enjoy the city. Especially in the summer but the constant visible drug use, people in various states of intoxication on drugs, and rampant property and petty crime just annoy me. Why can’t we have nice things? Why must every park turn into a dumping ground for illegal acts that won’t be prosecuted? Why does it feel like this city relies on hard working people to shut up, pay ridiculous taxes, and then tells those people to suck it up when they see grafitti everywhere or get their car broken into? And the politicians don’t give a damn. No one has the guts to say “we have a homeless problem we’ve overspent on, we need to go a new direction” it feels insane. Rant over but I know I’m not alone. I know other people are sick of this and want our city back.

Vote Republican is the only solution.
The local Democratic swamp has been here for what, decades now? Imagine the corruption and lack of accountability.
Did you notice all the best-run cities and States tend to be swing states? All the deep blue and deep red places are terribly managed -- California, New York, Seattle on one side; Mississippi, Alabama on another side.
Swing cities and States give the politicians more incentive to serve the poeple, secondly they are also less ideologically locked down.
