Images aren't an argument.
The highest property taxes in the country and all they can accomplish is streets over-flowing with dirty needles floating in shit. Nothing screams success like shit in the streets. You are the winner.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

Seattle City Council is made up of all democrats with one exception, a socialist.

If you don't like liberals or progressives, get out of the tea shop. Move to Texas or something.
I don’t live in Seattle, genius. I live in the most conservative small town in the Greater Seattle area. ;)

Thanks for your advice though - very handy. I take it the political left will immediately quit bitching about Trump now, based on the same philosophy you were just espousing toward me, right?

No?

You mean you’re being hypocritical?

You moved to an area filled to the brim with progressives, liberals, socialists, and communists, and then you complain about progressives, liberals, socialists, and communists. As if you didn't know that going in? Were you really that stupid that you didn't know Seattle and King County was chock full of liberals? Hell most of Western Washington state, West of the cascades is that way. Has been that way for a while. It is the house liberals built.

There's a big difference between living in the United States which may switch conservative from time to time, and moving to an area/state which is predominately liberal and bitching about liberals constantly.

Get over yourself, you knew what you were getting into when you moved here.

He moved to Seattle for the high-paying tech jobs, which has resulted in you paying 2k per month for a studio apartment. That's the real irony.

As we saw earlier, Jedi in his progressive rage has completely abandoned any semblance of trying to justify the actions of his political cohorts, and will now obsess over me personally, JD-style.

Does your predictability ever bother you?
Or are you oblivious to it?

In actuality the head tax money will likely be spent as a funding stopgap measure for the Seattle City Council’s overspending.
This is happening everywhere and it’s not just progressives. Every state and municipality is trying to scratch up stopgap funds. Everything from ‘earmarks’ that magically get diverted from their intended use to seizures that are used to pay for municipal goodies to property tax increases that are intended to have most of the money siphoned off for uses entirely unrelated to the stated reason for the increase.

Rage on, lemming.
HM tried this same attack yesterday, but as we all know, nothing gets a progressive hard like repeating failed ventures.

Yeah, I just realized DB is exactly the kind of person Jedi is pissed about. Tech worker. Immigrated to the region for the tech jobs. Drives up the cost of living for the grocery store workers.

Maybe frame the discussion in that context.

They aren’t bitching when we buy groceries tho.
Well ... actually, they are. They aren’t bitching when cashing the check from ringing up groceries tho.
