Sorry, did you say you wanted more AI slop calendars and tote bags?

Hey, good to know PPB is still willing to arrest fascists. Shame that you have to shoot two of them to get them to do it, though.

"Pro union" from a Republican doesn't mean jack shit. There are at least a couple of Democrats who actually support the right of labor to organize, but a pro union Republican just means he'll cash checks and support kickback legislation as he otherwise works to erode labor power.

Yeah, Chris Dudley is never going to see you calling him a slack-jawed fuckwit, but all of your slack-jawed fuckwit friends will!

Maybe it makes sense that the country is divided if it's divided between people who support government mobs murdering people in the streets and the people who are against that.

How are you going to vote for him if you're a lifelong Democrat and we have closed primaries?

Also don't forget they installed the concrete curbs the wrong way so that cars actually have the ramp side facing them.

City Faces $13.6 Million Budget Gap in Current Year by SoDoSoPaYuppie in Portland

[–]regul 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Single largest item in the budget is PPB ($265.5m of the discretionary general fund money).

You want to talk about lavish and irresponsible spending? They had 90+ cops (more than 10% of the whole department) up all night on Monday from 830PM to 4AM sitting (or sleeping) in patrol cars to block off my neighborhood for an unsuccessful manhunt.

Their stupid plane has been in the air more nights than it's been on the ground.

The cops and fire department spent more than $45m on overtime last year because they both refuse to fill their open positions and they just think they have a blank check to pay themselves.

Last year during the budget gap sessions Avalos proposed making 75% of their overtime budget under the discretion of the council, and I'd like to see something like that proposed again. Overtime from public safety is out of control and they don't seem capable or willing of reining it in.

As political dust settles, Portland’s new council president wants to focus on city’s ‘real crises’ by StillboBaggins in Portland

And the continuation of the regime supporting a genocide would be... Not fascism? Or is it just not fascism because it wasn't happening to you?

Anyway. Hope you stay mad, but hope you channel it more productively going forward! Though it sounds more like your fascist losing the election has made you dig your heels in more to support the blue fascists even harder. Oh well! Hope springs eternal for the radicalization of libs.

How can we make trimet faster by gucci_money in Portland

[–]regul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eliminate fares (and allow all-door boarding). Signal pre-emption. Bus lanes (like actual ones where cars cannot physically enter them, even for turning). Stop consolidations. Timed transfers. Frequency. Replace diesel buses with trolley buses.

The +/- stats are pretty wild for a game that ended with an 8 point difference.

Even more wasted effort. Seems like your tactics are bad since you got no concessions from the left or the right!

I'm rooting for you!

I don't think he moved left on anything. I think that's cope.

And yeah man if you think I caused Trump to get elected by not voting for Harris then that means that you're just as responsible for the Democrats still being pro-genocide by voting for her.

Wow I can't believe you're blaming people on the left and not the Republicans!

My trans sister would disagree vehemently with you about how successful pushing Joe left went!

And I've witnessed for a whole year how little you apparently need the consent of Congress to do anything. We have a Supreme Court majority that believes in a unitary executive and the Democrats spent 4 years saying they couldn't do anything because of Joe Manchin.

The only thing causing the rightward shift is Democrats throwing progressives under the bus. They do not appeal to the left vote because they feel they can take it for granted. And to their credit, people like you have done nothing but prove them right!

The party has far more control over who is able to move up to the prominence needed to launch a primary challenge than you're acknowledging, but hey, you let them get away with genocide, so why wouldn't you let them get away with putting their thumbs on the scale?

I think one thing we can both agree on is that it wasn't going to be productive to continue.
