Leftist politicians, but not sure what kind of leftists if actually leftists at all, Jesse Johnson and Hoang Tran, will be sworn in tomorrow at Federal Way City Hall, along side re-elected R.I.N.O. politician, Martin Moore (regarding Johnson, already seated on the Council about a month ago, and re-swearing in for the regular term). Johnson is a curiosity so far, because even though he got much of his support from the globalist left wing, he sounds like an Establishment Republican sometimes; for instance he's not a fan of apartments downtown, believe it or not (keep all those poor people out of sight and out of mind, right?): and Johnson says that he wouldn't have supported P.A.E.C. had he been on the Council for the vote. Johnson almost seems, politically, to be like Susan Honda, who is allegedly a fiscal conservative despite her pro-P.A.E.C. votes, and was part of the apartment moratorium consensus on the Council, the latter viewpoint being utterly ridiculous, or Orwellian, with all the influx of globalism and concern about homelessness in the region -- even though I voted for her.
Guess Honda & Co. had better find some major, low-cost home builders and benevolent financiers who are going to house all these folks, which would be doubly harder than providing apartments or rooms for them, not that any of it would be easy. My guess is that the Council is going to pay a lot of lip service to helping the homeless without coming up with solutions, because solutions will mean hard financial decisions, and P.A.E.C. has pretty much taken that off the table.
It is possible to be leftist, but not populist, which is a double whammy as far as I'm concerned, because the only leftists that are worth their salt are the real populists. Even Sawant & Co. in Seattle have populist tendencies, which is probably more than you can say about this new Federal Way City Council. The new kids on the block make-up probably means the new Council is more globalist-minded than leftist, and even further away from populist. Like I said, a double whammy, if not a triple one.
