Democrats in Seattle, you have a choice to make. You need to decide if you’re going to support those who are pandering for power; and in Seattle pandering for power means pandering to the left of the left.

Here’s the question: do you, as a Democrat in Seattle, stand with the statement that “it is an act of war” to build the police ‘bunker’ in North Seattle and that the police are white supremacists?

When someone is breaking into your house, who do you call? So why do you let your Democratic leaders pander to the Black Lives Matter movement when they call the police racists and that building police stations is an act of war?

Democrats in Seattle, are you willing to stand up against this? Are you willing to challenge your friends when they repeat the Black Lives Matter talking points?

If you were at a cocktail party and someone said “Barrack Obama is a militarized black supremacist who has never helped the country and never will,” you would stand up to a statement like that. So why not stand up to people saying the police are militarized, white supremacists, instead of pandering to them?
