Do you most prefer the politics of Los Angeles, NYC, or Seattle?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I know nothing about Seattle politics, but I went with it because those of NYC and LA strike me as absolutely atrocious.

Is there a single place in the US that uses Proportional Representation? Sometimes I wonder if Americans are even aware of its existence.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, that's not surprising. Though still pretty sad.

Is their any chance of electoral reform in Seattle, with the success of the Socialists?

Also what breed/tendency are these Socialists? I thought Sawant was an SEP goon for some reason, but I just googled and she's Spcialist Alternative (the wsws had a typically wsws article on her).

Socialist Alternative is the US affiliate of the Committee for a Workers' International, which grew out of the Militant tendency of the Labour Party. The UK equivalent is the hilariously named SPEW (Socialist Party of England and Wales), which operates through it's front group, er, 'coalition', the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, whom I'm sure you're familiar with. They're social democrats who like to quote Trotsky, for the most part. They've more or less endorsed Sanders and more or less endorsed Chuy Garcia when he ran for mayor of Chicago.

Class traitors! To the guillotine!

Wait, are you actually saying your views are so ideosyncratic that there's no left-wing splinter group that matches your views? I mean, you have Maoists out there! (I don't know if one can still find any Hoxhaites.) Surely there must be something?

Yeah, that's pretty hilarious.
