Kshama Sawant, a socialist, fights for common people
Jeff Bezos, of Amazon, lives just for himself and his giant dreams
the bully billionaire Bezos wants to suppress Sawant
Sawant is a City Council member in Seattle, Bezos’s hometown
her plan to ease the city’s homelessness was by taxing large companies
which was about to become a reality when Bezos crushed it mercilessly
in 2019 local elections, he gave $1.45 million to political action committee
the PAC is called Civic Alliance for a Sound Economy (CASE)
it was the largest sum ever given in local elections to beat the progressives
half a million dollars on Sawant alone, the most visible progressive face
Sawant was getting money from the common people, including unemployed
one was from Grand Rapids, Michigan – who sent in $200
on behalf of his boss, Amazon’s Aaron Toso had this excuse:
“We are contributing to this election because we care deeply about the future of Seattle.”“We believe it is critical that our hometown has a city council that is focused on pragmatic solutions to our shared challenges in transportation, homelessness, climate change and public safety.”
“pragmatic solutions”? absolute bullshit
last year Amazon didn’t pay a single penny in tax
Savant survived the election – thanks to her average people support
after Sawant’s victory, CASE’s executive director said:
“The business community stands ready to work with the new Seattle City Council — just as we have partnered with elected leaders to support a regional approach to homelessness, to advocate for more transit, and to add resources for affordable housing.”
“How our local government chooses to partner — or create division — matters.”
how much can you trust the PAC working for Amazon and other big shots?
NOT AT ALL
but can Sawant win the next election is a question to ponder
billionaires don’t want any kind of redistribution of wealth
whatever happens to the majority, they just don’t give a damn
Bezos asked another billionaire Mike Bloomberg to run for president
so that the billionaire assholes‘ wealth remains untouched
Bloomberg had declined but then decided to run as a Democrat
Sawant is a great human being and a brave politician
but we need many more Sawants, Sanders, and AOCs to win
