On a measure to increase our local minimum wage, statement against, paraphrased: "Don't listen to the extremists from Seattle Democratic Socialists, this will hurt our jobs and the economy!!"
I was already in favor of this, but thanks for letting me know I should vote for it harder.

@Aether Since we don't have a labor party as such here, and our Democratic Party is managed top-down, organizations like this one generally fill the gaps locally to various degrees of effectiveness.
This proposal, and the attempts to rally Boeing's union to affect it, seems especially reasonable in that direction.

Also, anyone who proudly blasts out their job title as "CEO" on a personal website when I search for who they are and why they're against a measure clearly should not be trusted with any position of power, ever.
