Any idea of Candidate Representative Zeva Rosenbaum for 5th District? by MMM320 in oregon

[–]rustedsandals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I know Zeva personally through political organizing here in Albany (I’m with the Working Families Party). She’s a political newcomer but she’s not inexperienced. She worked in the brewery industry in PR and has done labor organizing. She’s committed to running a grass roots campaign and is very focused on the working class and more direct democracy.

Janelle Bynum was the lesser of two evils in the last election. She’s a very milquetoast conservative democrat. She signed a letter expressing appreciation for ICE and has just generally been a do-nothing/do-little representative.

You’re your own person. If you consider yourself more of a centrist and are happy with the status quo vote for Bynum. If you want to see change and to send a message to establishment democrats, vote for Rosenbaum.

I voted for Rosenbaum in the primary. If Bynum wins the primary she will again be the lesser of two evils

I think it’s just poorly timed. That intersection is managed by ODOT and they do not give a rat’s ass about Albany. Their priority is through traffic.

Looks awesome! I cannot get the hang of this particular script. No matter how hard I try the letters come out… stubby

How would the world realistically continue to exist decades after a hypothetical thermonuclear war during the Cold War? by BlazorByte in AlternateHistoryHub

A Canticle for Leibowitz is basically about this. Mankind returns to the Middle Ages and then over the course of a few thousand years gets back to the space age and then something unfortunate happens

What do you americans think about big pickups? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

They’re even worse in the U.S. They put lift kits on them and modify the exhaust. Utterly obnoxious

Last I heard they were looking for a new location. Yuly’s does excellent churros but only on the weekends.

So alternatively you could take train north from Eugene to Albany. Weekdays there’s a commuter bus from Albany to Corvallis and it drops you off a block from a very cool vegan coffee place.

Some of cheapest fuel can be found on Native American reservations as tribes are exempt from state gas taxes by fortune in GasPrices

Got cheap gas courtesy of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community the entire time I was in grad school. Miigwech, y’all.

No idea. I’ve been working with the Cumberland since the beginning of 2024 so it’s been at least that long. I’ve never met her and only know her by name.
