Kellie Torres has to pretend to be a progressive and hide that she worked for Dan Ryan in order to try to trick voters in D3

Yes it is very inconvenient for politicians who think being progressive is about stating values and losing gracefully to have elected officials who actually try to implement said values

When I talk about moderate Democrats maybe being the problem in Oregon, this is what i mean.
In 2008, Steve Novick was the more progressive candidate in his primary against Jeff Merkley and I was excited to vote for him and evangelize for his campaign on my college campus.
So I have to ask -- what about his politics have shifted to the point that a donor who has given Christine Drazan $30,000 since 2022 has decided to max out for his reelection campaign?
Moderate Democrats have lost the plot in their efforts to fight the left wing of our party out of some cold war era/ Reaganomics mindset.

Well, Kaliko, since you don't name a single issue where my politics are different now from what they were in 2008, you apparently can't answer your own question. The fact that I don't always vote for every performative and / or illegal proposal from the
"Peacock" camp doesn't mean I've become the enemy.

Steve - In my estimation, it appears that you have allowed yourself to become a reactionary defender of process and institutions rather than a bold visionary who is willing to push what is possible. It seems to have made you an ally (knowingly or not) with other reactionary forces in the city who are focused on maintaining power for the wealthy and well connected rather than building power for a a multi-racial, working class Portland. You are not the enemy but people who fund the enemy are now seeing themselves aligned with your campaign.

Drazan attending a play in Portland (BABYLON) is probably the thing that would scandalize her voters the most.

not the most important thing, but i did run into christine drazan at opening night for Pride and Prejudice at PCS. she averted her gaze immediately before i had a chance to talk to her and repudiate her whole deal, and then she scuttled into the theater to enjoy Portland’s cultural offerings.

christine should spend less time worrying about me and more time worrying about whether her friends and donors are in the epstein files. and you should worry about whether christine drazan’s donors are also supporting candidates in the city council races.

As someone who voted for Steve Novick in his U.S. Senate primary against Jeff Merkley, I find it interesting that his current politics on Portland City Council has him aligned with a donor who has given $30k to Christine Drazan since 2022.

It's been over 24 hours since I called for Portland City Councilor Mitch Green's resignation over his calls to abolish police and prisons. Tina Kotek still refuses to condemn him. Her silence is an endorsement of the police abolition movement.


Unhinged MAGA Republicans and corporate lobbyists want Mitch Green out because DSA candidates are a threat to the system that is failing all of us.

Stand with Mitch.
