Eventually you may figure it out.

Those are pretty standard democratic goals. I guarantee you MGP will stand in the way along with the rest of the blue dog coalition.

000

No, we are not. You just don't have a valid rebuttal.

100

You are defending a failed strategy.

100

Yes, instructive in that you don't really want to change anything; you want to get to a less egregious version of the same thing.

100

If that was the case the grifter would be behind bars. You seem to think a majority of centrists will fix the problem. History has proven you wrong.

000

Go on defending a policy of more of the same. Fact is people like her do more harm than good. I do realize all you want is to get back to Joe Biden.

100

No it is not. The centrists need to go. Period. Stop defending mediocrity.

100

She has done nothing to stop far-right extremism. Actually, a strong argument can be made that she has helped. As has already been established, this is about centrist democrats being a problem from the top down. MGP is an example.

100

Not good enough. It is time to demand better.

011

Not dodging. Don't pay attention to that district. I have no vote there. As stated, MGP is an example of the type of people who need to be purged from the Democratic Party. From the top down. This is about the future of the party, not some mealy centrist who kissed enough red-hat ass to win.

000

Not my district, she is just an example. Anyone in the Blue Dog Coalition fits the same profile. These people are the problem.

100

And you think "Blue no matter who" will solve the problem. The democratic party has played a role to getting us where we are today.

This AOC–Pelosi Fight Is Not Good for Democrats

You really think that is going to happen with the current "D" leadership? The track record says no. There is more than math at play here. They all play the "done the time, next in line game". slate.com/news-and-pol...

slate.com

But it reveals a lot about the divide in the party.

100

If you can count on that "D" vote when the time comes. If you just load up with a bunch of waffling centrists what is the point.

100

I realize that. The 15% of the nay votes are the problem. I don't care about the district, time to stop playing that game. 85% is really not that good. We need to demand better. www.kgw.com/video/news/p...

I don't disagree with you on Kent, but really, is she that far removed from what he would have done? She can't be relied upon as a democratic vote, so while she may be slightly less egregious than Kent, it is still totally unacceptable. These middle managers in the Democratic Party have to go.

List of Democrats voting to condemn socialism in House ahead of midterms

Voting for Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is not going to solve anything. The Democratic Party is failing the American people and electing a bunch of centrists will result in more of the same. www.newsweek.com/list-of-demo...

The resolution by Representative Jeff Crank declares that socialist systems lead to mass human suffering.

Unless all the 19th century books are destroyed scanning them into AI models.

That prices out low income riders unnecessarily.

E-bikes are not vehicles and are not safe to operate mixed with cars.

201

They can set them to whatever the local law dictates. I think 24 km/h is a fair speed. Any bicycle can go at least that fast.

130

Cause insurance companies are so upstanding. Until they cancel your policy when you make a claim after paying inflated rates for minimal coverage. It's not libertarian bellyaching, it's that insurance companies suck.

100

The problem is you end up with laws written by idiots who know nothing about the issue and have probably never ridden a bike. bsky.app/profile/alex...

110

Getting insurance companies involved in any way is not necessary.

100

More bureaucracy is not the answer. We especially need to avoid getting insurance companies involved.

When I ride my e-bike at 20 mph, I regularly get passed by road bikers more worried about stats than safety. They weave in and out of pedestrians, run stop signs, and generally ride in an unsafe manner on a multi-use path. Any bike is capable of going 20mph.

A new, deeply researched book by retired reporter and editor Steve Law, Peddlers of Hate, provides historical context for one notorious period in particular—the rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon. And the similarities to today’s United States are profound.

If better, safe bike infrastructure were built, separated from cars, people would choose it.

Lyrics for this song are great. Unfortunately, this type of 80’s sound did not age well. Many great social commentary songs of the 80’s suffer from this.

A quick throttle through an intersection like that is a safety feature.

Hopefully that fuck is still feeling the fire.

I've been right-hooked twice already while riding through this intersection. Both times, the driver ran the red arrow without so much as a brake check. @pbotinfo.bsky.social

Providence is under pressure from the surrounding neighborhood regarding parking. Also, it is a method to get the suburban market into scary Portland: park at Sunset and take the MAX in. MP is positioning himself to get public funding for Providence Park renos. Purely PR.

Merritt is positioning himself for the next round of corporate socialism/hostage negotiation. The centrists will gladly write the check. #rctid #ripcity
