'I am antifa': Sarah Iannarrone forces runoff in bid to become Portland's mayor
The Washington Times ^ | June 2, 2020 | Valerie Richardson

Voters in Portland, Oregon, will decide in November whether to elect an Antifa mayor, even after President Trump vowed to declare Antifa a domestic terrorism organization.

Despite her proud stance, or maybe because of it, Ms. Iannarone placed second in the crowded May 19 mayoral primary with 23.8% of the vote. That landed her in the November runoff with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who came up just shy of the 50% threshold needed to win the race outright.

A former Oregon state treasurer, Mr. Wheeler is as liberal as the next big-city mayor. He is a Democrat, though the office is nonpartisan, but the often-violent clashes between Antifa and right-wing groups such as Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys have placed him in a difficult position.

I bet that she wins. She is what the voters of today are looking for. The mood of the voter has swung. The 18 year olds and up depend on Big Government Programs to sustain them.The older crowd 70 and up need to make sure that their insurance[s] are paid up and that their wills are in order.

If she wins, and since she’s “Antifa”, is she going to blow up City Hall and declare Anarchy?

So let me get this straight.....
Portland already has a lib-whacko Dem as a mayor...and the person running against his re-election is a even WHACKIER uber-lib Dem?

Are there any normal people left in Portland???

(I know it’s hyperbole, but there was some person in the last couple of days asking if the President would be the first to nuke one of his own cities. I nominate Portland, Oregon. It’s the only way to be sure.)

Not really. They see the system as Bezos, Zuckerberg, and the military-industrial complex. They want all of that gone.
