Needs a beacon
Joshua Freed, candidate for governor, seems to have lost his bearings. It's no longer clear what he stands for.
A few days ago he said that the police badly need reforming, which is simply false.
Then he visited the "commune" in Seattle and seemed to approve of it.
Now he disapproves because the "commune" kicked out a Christian preacher.
Is that the only problem? Isn't there something wrong with a mayor allowing open insurrection and secession because the right sort of people are seceding? Shouldn't a governor candidate have a better idea for handling the situation?
The Spokane cops have a better idea. Let protests continue within bounds, and arrest anyone who commits actual violence. So far it has worked. It might stop working later, but as of today it's working a lot better than the Seattle idea of total surrender.

More likely Freed is just pulling the old bait-n-switch, like Obama and Trump and Tulsi and Bernie and a thousand others. Pretend to be sane, gather money from suckers like me, then suddenly surrender and join the other side. Just another fucking faker, another evil Pied Piper. Easiest explanation.= = = = =
Idea: A real opposition candidate, if such a mythical creature existed, could gain serious support from people who are tired of the game. Offer an ironclad guarantee. "Here is my permanent agenda, my basic purposes and goals. If I ever depart from any item on my agenda, I will refund all contributions." Use a bonding firm to enforce the surety bond.
