I guess the last two years of Democratic leadership hasnt shown people what a disaster it is, starting from the White House.
All those right wing lying ads that were thrown out there were pathetic, made Republicans out to be some sort of anti-freedom monsters, which is just the opposite of the Democratic Party, we call call it campaigning deflection.
I cant believe people wanted 114, I guess you didnt read deep into it, its not going to do anything except the effect gun shop owners, the police dept and 100% of responsible gun owners in the state.
Then lets talk about the school bond, dont you remember you voted in a $275 million bond a couple of years ago for the schools!! Do you know that bonds never go away because people forget about it, so they just keep taxing you to death until you die, I guess people like getting taxed to death over and over because of irresponsible handling of money in leader ship. This election shows that Oregon is not the brightest state in the union thats for sure, people here dont vote for the smart candidate, theyre more interested in their identity than what theyre actually going to do to affect the state with their sorry policies. If Kotek wins, you just invited Kate Brown on steroids to run State, its sad three cities actually vote in the worst candidate second ever be voted in.
Let the homelessness, and the crime continue, meanwhile youre going to get taxed to death
Nonetheless, Mr. Marcos, we have all lived to fight another day. That is the true genius of our system: rationality and common sense–not brute force–always seem to win the day.
To clarify one point from fmarcos — bonds do expire.
fmarcos here’s a pro tip for you:
If you can’t legibly communicate your opinions in writing then please refrain from sharing them. All your doing is embarrassing yourself and reinforcing the reason so many people in Oregon do not vote for republicans.
Hi Bob Erickson
Let me correct your English grammar.
When you say “All your doing” , the correct English is actually “all you ARE doing” or in short/abbreviated English it’s “all you’re doing”.
If you’re going to correct someone, do it correctly.
I agree with fmarcos – congratulations Oregon you’re going to get what you deserve you buncha woke knuckleheads!
One of the key reasons that Jamie McLeod-Skinner lost was that she appears to the centrist voters to be a serial political adventurer. Over the past three election cycles, she has run for Congress in one district, the Secretary of State and Congress in another district, not really focused on building political capital in a step by step process Thus, voters really don’t know how her policies will be implemented. It appears to the average voter that she is simply shopping for a full-time political paycheck.
Hey Michael – Thanks for weighing in — though I do want to point out that after the most recent Census, Bend is largely in a new Congressional District. So while it’s true that Jamie ran for two different Congressional seats, they were both ones that represented a large share of Central Oregon.
