Democrats put faith in House candidate Bynum, but past support for decriminalizing fentanyl threatens chances

ADemocrat who recently won their primary in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, a swing district, previously supported a passed ballot measure that decriminalized drugs in the area.

Oregon state Rep. Janelle Bynum voiced her support for Measure 110, which, after being passed in November 2020, decriminalized most possession of controlled substances.

That ballot measure passed 58.5% to 41.5% in the state, with Portland’s Multnomah County offering the most votes in favor at a nearly 3-to-1 margin. However, Bynum’s previous support for the measure won’t likely appeal so much to voters anymore; a February poll saw 61% of voters call the policy a failure.

Just how much swinging goes on in that hotbed of depravity?

No doubt after watching that propaganda film "Fentanyl Madness". To suggest that fentanyl is a gateway drug is ridiculous.

Progressives NEVER anticipate disasters before they vote to enact them. Their total lack of common sense is most generally the cause.

I had fainted at home and had to have my hip bone replaced with metal.

I don’t know if the fentanyl they use in ambulances is the same as street
but I was thankful the person ask me if I wanted it.

I shook my head, no.

I think she said morphine would not be enough, yes or no?
I knotted my head yes. They said I was screaming like an animal
and flailing around. I was in and out most of the time.

That’s the worst thing I have ever been through.

In CA polls show that the voters regret their vote in favor of a bullet train. Yet outlets press on with this impossible liberal wet dream,
And not one of them will be penalized by the voters for this grotesque failure they will not give up on
