Progressives Routed In Oregon’s Democratic Primary As Jayapal’s Sister And Portland’s DA Rejected

With 63% percent of the vote.......

Excellent.

Election being called for Vasquez. Sanity returning to Portland.

Great news!

The article is stretching the facts. It’s her sister and all the dummy commies will still be in power.

Yay!

Why is this good news on Dl?

Because even Datalounge is sick of the bullshit, R7.

And no, that doesn't make us Republicans, either.

We can have nuance in our politics? What?

Thank God. I live in that district.

The Squad is the worst possible set of representation to make progressive causes appealing to the mainstream. Thus, they have a lot of suspect funding and tons of corporate media coverage.

Jesus Chrysler, Jayapal is one homely bitch. And I like her. But man.

The drug policy is not bad. Some EU nations did it and it was messy in the beginning but it got sorted out.

I live in a smaller but “progressive” city and it’s hell in a handbasket. Nothing ever gets done, crime is rampant and the touristy area is getting overrun by screaming junkies.

Congrats, Portland.

[quote] The drug policy is not bad.

It was absolutely disastrous for Portland.

[quote]Progressive policies on crime are just the latest part of the movement’s platform to be repudiated in Oregon this year as the state repealed its three-year-old law decriminalizing drug possession for personal use back in March.

I think these rash 'woke' policies from progressives in recent years are going to be overturned with a vengeance by decade's end.

Like when Ancient Egyptians got rid of Atenism immediately after the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten (c. 14th century BCE) who had enforced the new, monotheistic religion on his subjects despite their objections/pleas..

They hated him so much for it that Akhenaten was erased from history and was only rediscovered in the last century upon the discovery of his son Tutankhamun's famous tomb.

Schmidt conceded the race to Vasquez just after 7 pm ET Wednesday as the tally showed the challenger was up an insurmountable 54-45 percent.

Soros DA Chesa Boudin (San Fran): Out

Soros DA Kim Gardner (St. Louis): Out

Soros DA Kim Foxx (Chicago): Out [Is still in office but is not running for reelection]

Remaining

LA’s George Gascón,

Manthattan’s Alvin Bragg,

Philly’s Larry Krasner, and

Alameda County’s Pamela Price (currently facing a recall effort),

They should bus the drug addicts from Kensington to City Hall and Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square in Philly.

Let the wealthy voters and Krasner have a taste of what they inflict on middle class and working class residents.

R14 Funny you don’t name that “small progressive hellhole” so we can fact check your crime stats. Fuck off conservative Nazi scum.

Some small rural towns are meth filled hellholes and vote 90% Republican.

Maybe people are tired of nepotism.

R20 Nepotism?

R14 you won’t name the city, liar!

The day Bragg won he put out an insane memo about all the crimes he would no longer prosecute including shoplifting and farejumping. . Now drugstores are impossible to shop in and the subways are overrun with loons and fare jumpers. Fuck you very much.

R23 The subways has ALWAYS been overrun with loons, Boris. NYC is VERY safe. Get better talking points you Russian POS.

And somehow you think that is a positive.

You don’t sound unstable at all, r24. Very mature and reasonable.

R26 sure, Boris.

They give excellent opinion.
