Actually this thread in general is a pretty interesting one, people really calling the sub on their BS
Fresh comment, 16 mins old. Not a USian but I’m pretty sure this is all bullshit, but someone in the US could probably respond better. (Also, the allegation was not that there were several DSA members on council like Chicago but that “leftists hold a significant amount of power” on city councils), so some slippery bullshit on top.

but the mayor is far left
IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD IS MURIEL BOWSER “FAR LEFT”
Kshama Sawant in Seattle. She spearheaded the $15 minimum wage push, probably being the reason any city/county/state anywhere has adopted it. IIRC she’s also not running for re-election, and is going to focus on far more important and effective labor organizing and movement building going forward.
I’m pretty sure that’s it. Definitely none of the city council members, state politicians, or federal representatives in California anywhere near me are anything even vaguely leftist.
