Ranked choice voting? Hopefully someone halfway decent snuck in.

Ranked choice voting is Marxist.

Does the new mayor enjoy burning riots and drugged homelessness as much as the old mayor?

I saw part of a TV interview of his. He sounds like a good guy. Business owner that grew up in Portland and wants to return the city to sanity. I wish him the best.

Homelessness was an issue he ran on promising overnight only shelters, but that solves nothing.

He is apparently unaffiliated with any political party. He's the CEO of a trucking company.

That's about all I found out about him.

“He’s the CEO of a trucking company.”

I didn’t see that, but then I was really looking for his political party. Good catch, what kind of start up money did he get for his business from the Biden Administration?

The rank choice was a Portland thing. Rank choice was shot down on the Oregon state ballot.

Ranked choice voting? When did THAT become the method used in Oregon? I thought only Alaska (which we all hope gets voted out) and Maine had that kind of voting system.

“He pledged to end unsheltered homelessness in his first year.”

Round em up—Put them on buses—send them to San Fransicko.

Mission accomplished!


You know they can do it when they want to—just pretend Xi is visiting next week...

Meet the new boss...Same as the old boss... :(

‘I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again...’

Many states had referendums on ‘ranked choice voting.’ Many states now ban this stupidity. It’s evil. It’s Communist...but it appears to forward the agenda of those that want to see America fail! *SPIT*
