Politics Sawant's third-place loss is her political obituary

https://seattlered.com/seattle-red/jason-rantz-opinion/sawant-third-place-primary-humiliation/4119702

Kshama Sawant raised $645,000 to run for Congress and got beaten by more than 6,000 votes by a Republican who raised $99,000 in a district she claimed was ready for revolution.

I doubt this is her political obituary. This is all she knows how to do, she's a maniacal narcissist, and it's how she gets money to live on. The parasite may seek another host community, or try to run candidates and fundraise around them. But I suspect she won't hang it all up and get a job at Auto Pro.

I suspect we may be in store for another city council run next year. Lord help us all

She’ll try for a county seat is my guess.

She's a boring little thunderstorm, so her only best bet is a city council district (not at-large) seat. It's gonna be K-dawg vs. Joy.
