A big Seattle name is in the election battlegrounds — helping Trump

Seattle's star socialist, Kshama Sawant, said she wanted a revolution. Now she's trying to get one by campaigning to take Kamala Harris down in Michigan, columnist Danny Westneat writes.

    Saying the quiet part out loud:

    “We need to be clear about what our goals are,” Sawant said in a speech on Sunday in Dearborn, Michigan. “We are not in a position to win the White House.

    “But we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”

    So the goal is “fighting to defeat Harris, not just symbolically but in reality,” Sawant said. “This is ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her.”

    If you admit Stein can’t win, and you claim Harris must be defeated, then you’re working to elect Donald Trump.

      I’ll recently read an article about Jill Stein saything this EXACT same quote. It’s really triggering my bullshit radar. I’ll have to find the article, give me a sec.
