Another article:

Wilson primarily campaigned on expanding workers’ rights, addressing the homelessness crisis in Seattle, and creating more affordable housing through social housing, rent control, and using public land for affordable development.

Meanwhile, Kshama Sawant is running for congress in Washington’s 9th Congressional district (central/south Seattle and its southeast suburbs).

Zero charisma. Bland campaign. Unprepared as she was not able to answer a number of questions during debates. She's barely eking out a win, which means she'll be vulnerable come next election. I don't forsee her having a successful tenure.

That's short term thinking. If she doesn't deliver, it hurts the progressive movement and people won't give them another chance in the future.

That's old school thinking. They will smear the progressive movement no matter what Katie does. They call Nancy Pelosi a communist. Wolf has been cried too many times, now those types of attacks are no longer effective.
