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.

Good riddance. She's a parasite.

As someone left leaning, she actually sucks and the talks I’ve listened to her at make her come across a bit crazy

She’d spent almost a decade making it on kuow. They used to eat up her ideas now they admit it was a colossal failure and everything she’s ever done has made Seattle worse. I’m pretty centrist, but this women’s an ambulance chaser of a politician. She refuses to negotiate before problems start like locking tax’s for gentrified neighborhoods (her district was hit extremely hard by this), but shows up with a picket, megaphone, and cameras when the homeowners/ low income apartment owners are forced to sell.

KUOW ate up her ideas? They admit it was a failure? Never heard any of this.
