Would love to hear thoughts on specific careers or vocations in which multi-passionate people tend to thrive.

Or the names of ICE agents.

this was the explanation sent to all members from Local Council prior to the membership vote:
Motivation: As outlined in the Electoral Working Group Recommendation Electoral Working Group Steering Committee’s Recommendation for Endorsement of Katie Wilson, while the candidate identifies as a socialist, Katie Wilson does not fulfill the minimum standards of endorsement as passed by the chapter. Members of Seattle DSA are united in opposing Bruce Harrell. Everyone on Local Council who lives in Seattle will, themselves, be voting for Katie Wilson in the election. Because of this, it may seem strange to oppose an endorsement. However, our member-approved endorsement process is far beyond “we are voting for this person”. Seattle DSA is committed to building independent political power. We aspire, in short, to be an organization that operates like a political party. Political parties share data between campaigns. They expect their candidates to endorse other candidates within that political party. Katie Wilson has articulated clearly, in the process of seeking Seattle DSA’s endorsement, that she refuses to commit to these things. While we are willing to be lenient with an endorsement request by a candidate with minor differences with the chapter, it is the opinion of the Local Council that the political differences between Katie Wilson and the chapter are so significant and numerous that they are frankly disqualifying for a candidate seeking our endorsement. These differences include the following: Not committing to endorse other DSA electeds, or to meet regularly with the Socialists in Office Committee. Not committing to support the platform of the chapter if elected. Not committing to supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Not committing to end or reduce sweeps of homeless people in Seattle, beyond a stated preference for “sweep alternatives”. Not committing to reduce the current record-high budget of the Seattle Police Department. Not giving a clear vision for her future office’s relationship with DSA if elected. Accusing DSA of being “self-marginalizing” in relevance within Seattle politics for not issuing an endorsement of the campaign. Refusing to draw any distinction as a candidate between herself and the Democratic Party. In addition, Transit Riders Union sent an email encouraging its members to join Seattle DSA for the purpose of supporting Katie Wilson’s endorsement. While we appreciate a call to join DSA, our bylaws specifically prohibit entryism, meaning any coordinated attempt by an outside group to join our chapter for the express purpose of influencing its internal democracy. We look forward to working together with Katie Wilson when she wins the office of the Mayor, especially toward a member-approved ballot initiative to provide free childcare to Seattle. However, these things being true cannot get us past the fact that Katie Wilson does not meet the endorsement requirements that the members of Seattle DSA voted for. In solidarity, Seattle DSA Local Council

Yep, that’s one of the signs. There are also lots of alt-right Easter eggs in her new album and merch. Some of them not even subtle.
