Portland (and Oregon) has two types of leftist/progressive politicians: 1. Those who will do the right thing and fight for systemic change, even if it is a losing battle. 2. Those who are "realistic" about change and will avoid doing what is right to hopefully keep their political capital.

If Mayor Wilson breaks a 6-6 tie on the Portland City Council vote to fund the Moda Center, I personally begin a recall campaign. That’s a promise. He will be choosing to cut services for a billionaire’s bottom line. Portland deserves a mayor who will put the people over corporate profits.

Mitch and DSA councilors represent more than unions. They fight for all workers. Two unions are a small portion of workers, while thousands of others need their public services funded. Portland deserves a deal that doesn't give away millions of taxpayer dollars, while we suffer from austerity.

Portland politics is funny. People can be as radical as they want until they expect institutional change. As soon as you want the system to change (more democracy, more services, less policing, etc.), then you are asking for too much.
