No choice but to recall Kshama Sawant
Here is why.
She is not going to survive this. Good riddance. An absolute opportunist, and uses social justice to push her socialist agenda. And that is not hyperbolic, whatsoever. The ballot is fukking hillarious

Here is why.
Sawant disputes the third court-approved recall charge, concerning Sawant’s leadership role in a protest at Mayor Jenny Durkan’s home. That address is protected in a state confidentiality program. Sawant’s weak retort is that she didn’t “lead” marchers to the house and that she has never known Durkan’s address.
This denial rings hollow. During Sawant’s onstage speech in front of Durkan’s house, she reportedly spoke critically of the “Richie Rich” neighborhood. Shortly afterward, Sawant’s council Twitter account retweeted notes of gratitude “for speaking @MayorJenny’s rich house,” as one put it. Curiously, those notes appear to have vanished from Sawant’s timeline.

Councilmember Kshama Sawant, City of Seattle Council District No. 3, Response to the Recall Charges
Vote ‘NO' on the right-wing recall. The charges against Kshama Sawant are dishonest, and the courts haven’t found her guilty of anything.
Kshama, an immigrant woman of color, is being attacked for participating in peaceful Black Lives Matter protests. This recall is part of the racist right-wing backlash attempting to criminalize protest nationally.
Big business and the right wing want to remove Kshama because she’s such an effective fighter for working people. Rather than appeasing the establishment, Kshama has used her 8 years in office to win historic victories like the $15 minimum wage and Amazon Tax to fund housing. Rather than taking home the $140,000 Councilmembers pay themselves, Kshama lives on an average worker's wage and donates the majority of her salary to social justice movements.
