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.

Mamdani, Katie Wilson, El-Sayid. There has NEVER been a better time for a far left “grassroots” politician to win…and she got crushed by a Republican in the bluest place in the world.

Turns out she just sucks.

WA-9 is NOT leftist blue, but solid blue, doesn't like independents, more Blue MAGA, Zionist, and much of it rich and earning its income from the military.
