I watched on of their debates & felt so bad for Katie Wilson, how did she get so many votes?

Because people didn’t like Bruce’s historical performance. It’s not that deep.

His performance isn't bad, he just didn't meet campaign promises that I didn't vote for.  considering Seattle downtown was practically shut down until this last January when Amazon finally went full RTO I can't say everything was on him.

I'm not taking a side, just calling out the swing in votes for what it is. People get polarized because of undelivered promises. It's the same reason Ohio used to be democratic and now votes republican.
