A republican stands no chance of being elected in Portland and very little chance of winning in the suburbs immediately around Portland.

It is about as “deep-blue” as you can get.

Human nature and history clearly shows that the far-left is horrible at running any size government. It is far easier to tear down the system than to “be the system.”

Agreed. It simply seems to be one of those truly bizarre spots that utterly denies reality.
It is not a sufficiently desirable location for us normals to wish to move there and especially to "toss our hats into the ring" for local election.

I have a childhood friend who resides there. This person is telling me there are NO RIOTS happening and it is all film footage being manipulated.
They are seriously that kooky now. I feel sorry for my longtime (yet clearly delusional) old friend. :-(
