Seattle issues ‘Democracy Vouchers’ to voters

What could go wrong?

That is the dumbest policy I have ever heard of.

Wow.... How on Ea... Who thought this wa....

frick it, just gonna watch this one play out

interesting way to publicly fund candidates

This is a city where my two choices for US congress were toe far left Democrats, one an Indian woman whose ads touted herself as the next Elizabeth Warren, the other some Mexican dude who looked like he had ties to drug cartels

quote:

---

Seattle is issuing registered voters vouchers worth $100, which voters can use to support candidates.

Or, more likely, to be sold for $0.75 on the dollar in equivalent weed value.

Was on a plane yesterday sitting next to this lady from Seattle. We got to talking about the 15/hr min wage and she started laughing bc there were no actual jobs to be had. She moved to Pensacola last year and was paying 1,110/month for a 2/1 apartment.

Now it's 2,800/month. She was very much a liberal dem but even she could see that the state had zero clue about how this will damage the middle class even further. I wish I had read this yesterday before talking to her

So the poor masses get to fund their political ideology off the backs of the rich taxpayers, just like unions dues funding the dems regardless of the workers views.

This is ridiculous. The best system is one where there person with the most private wealth wins. In fact, we could save the taxpayers a ton of money if we just got rid of voting altogether and gave offices to the wealthiest person willing to take the job. The more money someone has, the better they are a personal responsibility and business, and the government is a business, so logically that's the way to go.

King County can't be saved. The rest of the State is decent though.
