    How is it a strawman when it’s literally an accurate description of the situation? You’re trying to defend helping Trump, a fascist wannabe-dictator, get back into power on the grounds that your local Seattle Democrats fucked over a progressive.

    Here’s a reminder of what you wrote (in case you try to edit it to save face):

    Hi there, as a Seattle local I have a legitimate question for you. The local democrats I voted for turned around and gerrymandered the socialist 3 term serving city council member out of office. The only member that was actually pushing for the working class politics I wanted from my district representative. What kind of incremental change can I expect to really see when that is how the party at large operates?

    Cite the part of either my comments that isn’t an accurate restatement of that. I dare you.
