Only area in the USA with 4 levels of government so let's another wrinkle to it!

It's really funny how Mitch Green shut up about his socialist private business hot dog stands after the foie gras ban. Did he find out how the pigs used to make hotdogs are treated?

Did you miss the first part of her post? Would love to see actual consequences for drivers that make biking unsafe especially in the downtown area but what can a city councilor do?

I really considered running, saved up money but ultimately believed there were going to be better people challenging Clark, Zimmerman and Arnold but holy shit was I wrong. These people have no clue how politics work AND they are not offering anything that will make district 4 a better place.

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
D4 has assumed that Clark and Green will win and Arnold will replace Zimmerman. There's no other reason why the progressive candidates in D4 are so fucking bad. Jeremy guy has well-intentions but no backbone (mayor Keith is doing a good job!) and Jamey copying Betsy Johnson's eyeglasses symbol lmao

You should tell her to actually campaign in D4 instead of doing everything online

People are overestimating the fight legislative Dems would have against Drazan. They would approve massive cuts to our state government under the name of "fiscal responsibility" and tons of privatization under the name of "helping businesses" Everyone forgets the Dems killed Measure 110 on purpose

It's great talking to friends & new acquaintances and hearing how awful landlords still treat tenants here despite our "friendly" tenant laws. Same with all the small business owners we're supposed to feel sorry for while they steal wages and violate tons of workplace laws. But gotta focus on AI!

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Portland Council realized that they can "ban AI pricing" on anything & it will pass 12-0 & they can all point that they did something good for us. Rent is still way too high but at least an AI bot didn't set it or my grocery prices. Way better than public housing or a municipal owned grocery store.

Great thinking by Peacock giving Zimmerman an easy win before the election. Now we will only be price-gouged by humans like we currently are instead of by machines, bless up 🙏

This is fucking pathetic. The foundation of democracy is strong public schools for everyone. Would love to have a politician here have the balls enough to propose banning charter, private and homeschooling here.

One of the best posts I've read on here and I'll add that it also strikingly shows how meager and lousy self-proclaimed socialists initiatives are here. It's all baked into making the most changes without actually changing anything fundamental. We don't even have municipal sanitation in Portland!

I think 6 years after 2020 you should be more mad about police brutality than less mad but anyways who wants a hot dog stand

We love the gerontocracy in America don't we folks??????

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
and people like Merkley have pushed the gerontocracy we see everywhere in Oregon and the USA today

The whole I-5 closure should have been dealt with like how PBOT deals with the steel bridge pedestrian path being closed. No warnings, no updates, just "it's closed, deal with it"

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Maybe you should tell people Mitch. Why does Eric Zimmerman send me a newsletter every month in the mail with all the bullshit he's done and you don't? To find out what you're doing, I have to either log into this hellhole echo chamber or use my girlfriend's Instagram

She's smart. She knows she doesn't have to do shit because people aren't going to vote Republican.

I can't wait for 4 more years of her. This state is pathetic.

😂😂😂😂 she's the one that made Oregon the popular destination for them!!!! Is it really this easy to fool people around election season?

Portland police collaborate with ICE, portland police officers are suing senior citizens, Portland street response still not 24/7 but hey just keep resting on those laurels

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Remember when all the leftist organizations here made a big deal about the mayor's office having no real power in the new system? It's been incredible watching our trucking CEO mayor run circles around them. Don't forget about re-appointing scummy Michael Jordan as City Admin. to "not rock the boat"

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Do you ever think about the 5 uniformed police officers that showed up to your town hall to intimidate you and wonder if they were comfortable intimidating you in that setting, wouldn't they be comfortable intimidating citizens who aren't public officials?

Why have none of my pro-Palestinian city council members tried to end the Portland sister city relationship with an Israeli city? It is an ethnically cleansed city 8 miles north of Gaza. But hey better focus on making 90% of Portland unhappy by doing everything to avoid calling a street "39th"

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Uh oh looks like the right wing chuds found out Portland today isn't the same as 2018 Portland. I miss the old Portland that would have beat and bloodied those TERFS

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
One of the most disappointing things about Peacock has been their refusal to talk about Portland Street Response. It's very obvious A)they are scared of provoking the Portland Police (and Chief Day is so nice & cordial to them in person!!!) and B) don't want to be associated with Jo Ann Hardesty

The moment I knew Mitch Green did not have the juice was when he put some statement on social media defending Eric Zimmerman for not speaking out about the possible Trump troop deployment here. Putting out a statement defending your shitty co-worker that destroys your goals is so obviously pathetic

I'm so tired of hearing about small business owners oh my god

And yes we need to question why the Enforce the Fare people are ***always*** white men.
000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
There's a reason the fare requirement people never tell you what the fare should be set at. It's because all their plans and ideas are hypothetical!!! They are imaginary plans. But if you introduce no fares to these imaginary hypothetical plans, it all gets ruined according to them. Use your brain.

I love that all my D4 representatives only care about SE Portland and never do anything for NW Portland

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Free fare public transportation is a great socialist litmus test. Do you believe a better world is possible where there is fast frequent fareless service 4 everyone? Or do you believe whatever a 61 year old white liberal ableist consultant named Jarrett tells you is best for public transportation?

I hate how unsafe biking is in Portland. I rarely do it anymore. Just walk or bus now. It sucks

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
It doesn't have any guardrails. Are we creating a new nonprofit to run the 2% budget? It's a good idea if the world was a fair and even place but it isn't. Just adds another layer that we don't need and could divert good money to stupid things

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
What's to prevent local business owners from taping over or unplugging chargers near them? You guys were already too cowardly to do anything about business owners on 13th so now it's not a car free street anymore.

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Can someone let me know why Portland DSA supports the 2% government budget being decided by voters initiative. I always told people that asked me to sign "That's what we elect people for" so I was kinda shocked to find out a week or so ago that Portland DSA supports it?

Don't forget the millions made off insider trading in Congress or his wife being VP of Northwest Natural for over a decade (I'm sure there was no conflict of interest there) but he wore a bike pin, a bowtie and likes weed!!!!

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
You guys should rename it so it's not named after a guy who made millions off insider trading in Congress

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Hey @harpua.bsky.social these guys aren't going to do anything, just play lip service to you. Mitch never talks about the privatization of the Sellwood Community House in his district and all 3 lied last year about going after PPB after the $3.75 million settlement. We have cops suing citizens now!

Portland Bluesky would support the I5 bridge replacement and rose quarter freeway expansion if Zohran did a video on why it's actually good

Trimet's new 77 route sucks ass

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I will vote for Mitch for re-election because there's no one better but I think the left bluesky portland echo chamber needs to acknowledge Mitch making some dumb unforced errors that play well to attacks

They love to put the readers at stations out of the way and make them inconspicuous looking. It's baffling

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Okay last hot take before I get off BlueSky again. Morillo is the only councilor that actually deserves to be re-elected. The rest of Peacock has been pretty underwhelming.

Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
It's such a shame everyone is terrified to talk about Measure 110 and how the Oregon Democrat Party fucked it all up.

What are you going to do about this?
