Do we think it's any kind of coincidence the long lines and shuttered polling places almost exclusively happened to be in heavily black and Latinx areas? I don't. It's voter suppression. Same sh#t they pulled in GA in 2018 to steal a governorship. 2 Link to comment

Dems are going to make a real push to take the state legislature this cycle. One day their grip on the state will fail. Perhaps on that day the GOP will finally consider becoming something better than they are now. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 A case against Republicans up and down the ticket. They're the minority in the Oregon legislature. Dems want to advance climate change legislation. Republicans have literally fled the capitol and are hiding to torpedo the legislation. The case is these clowns don't give a rip about democracy. They're taking their cues from Trump and they're fine breaking any rules and violating any responsibility they have in order to get their way. Vote them out. Vote them all out until they decide as a group to do better. Quote Oregon legislative session ends early after Republican no-show over cap and trade SALEM — Democratic leaders in the Oregon Legislature brought the session to an abrupt and early close Thursday afternoon, after they were unable to resolve an impasse with minority Republicans over a controversial climate change bill. “This is a failed short session,” Senate President Peter Courtney said before he gaveled out. "I can’t rely on human nature anymore.” Nearly all Republicans in both chambers had been absent for more than a week, in a successful effort to kill the greenhouse gas cap-and-trade bill that was Democrats’ top priority for the 35-day session. Republicans also repeatedly objected to voting on any bills other than budget adjustments and tiny policy tweaks, saying that was all voters intended when they approved annual legislative sessions. With the session set to expire automatically at midnight Sunday under the state Constitution, Democrats rejected Republican offers to return to the Capitol in exchange for Democrats killing cap-and-trade or referring it to voters. Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. has said he believes referring the climate change plan to voters would spell its end. In comments from the House dais, Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said it was clear the 21 absent Republicans in that chamber were not going to return in time to finish work this session. ----- In a video conference call with reporters from an undisclosed location Thursday, the Senate Republican leader, Baertschiger, assailed Democrats for voting down Republicans’ proposed amendments to cap-and-trade. He accused Democrats of having “switched into campaign mode” by teeing the bill up for a vote midway through the session and predicted the party and its supporters will run ads against Republicans for killing bills that would have helped foster kids and people with mental illnesses. At the same time, Baertschiger sounded deeply conflicted as he echoed some of the concerns Democratic leaders raised about using walkouts as a negotiating tactic, saying, "it scares me to death.” Lawmakers typically oppose bills by voting “no,” offering amendments or negotiating deals to kill them in exchange for helping kill or pass other legislation. Baertschiger said he anticipates lobbyists will increasingly push lawmakers to take it a step further and flee the Capitol to kill bills. “This is not a good way to run a state, I can tell you that right now,” Baertschiger said. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 See, it's the MEDIA's fault that Trumpists deliberately changed the meaning of a Biden quote. Imagine how members of the MEDIA would feel about that as they go about their business protecting Trumpists. Link to comment
