I spoke with @cmkshama about her independent challenge to one of the worst but most powerful House Dems, Adam Smith (D-WA); why Seattle has re-elected him for 30 years; the DSA, potential for alliance with right-wing populism and more. She's interesting:

Thanks so much to the members of the Green Party in Seattle, in Washington state, and nationally, for their solidarity with our independent antiwar socialist campaign! Several Green Party members have gone out canvassing with us and the Green Party has shared their endorsement of our campaign widely to their supporters.
It's a crucial example of principled unity: yes, there are political differences, and we will continue having frank and necessary debates. We also agree our campaign is a historic opportunity to deal a blow to the war-profiteering billionaire class and it's our collective duty to the working class and the Palestinian people to GET OUT THE VOTE!
💥TOMORROW IS PRIMARY ELECTION DAY!
💥VOTE NOW for our campaign if you are in Washington state's Ninth Congressional District and if you want our campaign to face off against billionaire-backed genocidal Democrat Adam Smith in the November election! https://t.co/sh3zyhgTI7

I'm very glad that someone in @cmkshama's district has been volunteering for her campaign after hearing about her for the *first time* on Bad Faith weeks ago, but it's a poor reflection of the independent left-media sphere that her campaign didn't get more attention earlier on.
Airline travel is a scam, but United has pushed greed to new heights with blatant profit gouging. An extra few inches of legroom, a seat change, or a seat that only inclines 2 inches costs $97–$118.🤯 There’s only a few ways to cure a capitalist’s greed…
@Its_ereko@ProudSocialist The kicker is, the US could 100% pay for Medicare, Medicaid, guarantee Social Security, pay for childcare, fix infrastructure and etc., because the United States has a sovereign currency that just happens to be the world’s reserve currency (for now🫤) but CHOOSES not to.
@HeyItsVadim He and his children should be the first to serve, as a regular enlisted soldiers. No cushy special treatment officer stuff for the political royal family, they should attend regular bootcamp with all the commoners.
@MorePerfectUS There’s no way to close that gap without a serious discussion of ditching capitalism. In our current pro capital system there’s no way the wealthy are gonna let themselves be taxed.
@Davizzy77@ProudSocialist@GreenArrowList Your voice to text must be 1000x better than any I’ve ever seen. If I don’t double check exactly what gets translated to text, it’s literally just a bunch of gobble cook, with terrible punctuation.
