Pandemic 2020

What's dumb is voting for someone just because they have a D or R in front of their name which is what many voters do. I might be a registered Democrat but I'm not voting for someone just because they're a Democrat.

One of the big problems in politics today is the Us vs Them mentality that prevents things from getting done. If it's an R it has to be bad. I find that thinking to be simplistic.

If you don't live in Oregon you're free to move here and vote for anyone you want.

Im sorry man, but that argument might make a lot more sense when there is a political party that is actively pushing proud boy and conspiracy theorists as their platform.

It is the 'both sides' nonsense that is preventing things from getting done.

There are 2 echo chambers. One has a D in front of it while the other has an R in front of it. Neither uses critical thinking but group mentality.

Nope. You might think that there is two 'echo chambers', but that is bullshit.

And both parties aggressively target even those that share the same basic political ideals if they stray from the group narrative.

Yeah totally the same then.

She didn't wear a mask.


They fomented a riot on the capital to stage a coup by brainwashing their supporters into a full on radicalized cult.

Totally the same.

what's your view on mask and vax mandates?

i think it's too late in the game for both. the R's want their freedumb. let them have it. they've had plenty of time to know the risks/rewards by now. it would be a good look by the Dems and the Rs are gonna keep dying. win/win

Who cares? Oh wait, you do or else you wouldn't have brought it up.

I am jumping to a conclusion. That is true.

Your posts are center-right when it comes to women's sexual freedom, so I am jumping to the conclusion that you have a bias against Brown because she is gay.

That last sentence about the rail at the tittie bar... Be careful of what you can catch in that tittie bar. And if you're in Oregon you know that they're not like the tittie bars in Texas or other states. No pasties, it's full nude and they put their stuff inches from your face. I've been to the Acropolis, Magic A Gogo, Mary's Club, etc... but that was years ago. I still remember the Pink Pearl. Haven't been in a nudy joint in almost 20 years.

"dirty women" "be careful in a tittie bar" Careful of what? Catching Covid? You bet. I miss sitting at the rail of a titty bar with a cold beer. It's been years now.

You can deny that you don't care about Brown's gender and I won't call you out for it. You haven't said anything directly on the subject so I'll accept what you say as true. But a lot of your posts are pretty conservative. It's not a reach for me to jump to that conclusion.

I made a post regarding the Governor of Oregon not wearing a mask at an intimate indoor setting attended by many when she's banned those types of events in her home state unless the attendees wear a mask.

You have now made the comparison to the Capitol Riot which has nothing to do with wearing a mask. The Capitol Riot was a very bad occurence and those responsible should be in jail and many already are. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue I brought up or the pandemic.

hanimmal said:

OMGerd she didn't wear a mask, so I am not going to vote so that some qtarded proud boy fuck nut can have that much better of a chance at winning so that they can then stop everything that is keeping people safe during the pandemic and then wreck our democracy.

Full on cucktastic mental gymnastics.

do you live in Oregon? did you bother to read up on her? maybe Xt has a point, not all democrats are good at their jobs...a lot more dems are than republicans are, but they ain't 100%...
you seem very eager to kick anyone to the curb that isn't quite as gungho as you are about the democrats...they're obviously better than the republicans, but it doesn't take a lot of effort to be better than most republicans...

You guys are funny.

I'm center right about women's sexual freedom? I'm pro choice and I challenge you to find a single post I've made indicating anything else. What can you catch from a lady stripping naked at a tittie bar? How about any one of many STD's. While I find those types of venues to be disgusting if a woman wants to be exploited that way that's her right. These are not college girls paying for their tuition. These all nude clubs are rife with prostitution and drugs. It's actually quite sad that these women end up in that lifestyle but that's their right.

I voted for Brown so I guess that makes me biased in favor of her. Oh wait, I won't vote for her again so that makes me biased against her because she's Gay. Politics, just can't win.

They both should be in play, but unlikely to be enforceable regardless. The Republican and other idiots who have been brainwashed are losing ground thankfully though.

The thing that sucks about the dicks not wearing masks is that it hurts the people who are wearing masks just as much.

How many people at that event besides her were not wearing masks? It looks from that one picture that it was likely not just her right?

If she is stuck in that room with those idiots that entire time, it really stops being effective to keep her safe, and if she is the public figure in that room taking pictures with people, I have no idea what the event was, but that too should come into play too.

Your governor is doing what she can to keep you all safe, I would think that would mean more than some picture of her somewhere without a mask on.

Nope, but the 'I am not voting because she wasn't wearing a mask' is the type of stupid shit that was pulled on Clinton that ended up shaving off enough voters to give us Trump. And it should be pushed back on every time, because it is directly the reason that we ended up with a the Capital Riot on Jan 6th.

I am gungho about our democracy, and right now there is one party actively trying to destroy it. And the 'both sides' bullshit needs to get called out every single time. It is not about 'kicking people to the curb', it is about pointing out the trolling bullshit.

"dirty strippers" "watch out, you don't know what you will catch".

I wouldn't say that. You did. It has an air of misogyny and a conservative attitude toward women. .

What will I catch if I look at titties? Other than an eyeful, that is.

Just thought I'd toss this out there as well. Seems I'm not the only one not impressed with Governor Brown. You have to be pretty bad in a blue state like Oregon to have such a low approval rating as Governor 43% especially when a Republican Governor in a blue state like Vermont has 79%.


Polling Shows Kate Brown Is Least Popular Governor in America
Brown’s approval rating is at 43%; Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, is at 79%.

who the fuck said anything about both sides? you really think Xt is a troll trying to undermine the democratic party? i think he's a guy who lives in the state that woman represents, and he's not happy with the job she's doing...it might behoove you more to ask him why he's not happy about it, than to just assume he's a long term russian disinformation plant...

She's been a good governor. But Oregon is more conservative than one would think if they only know us through Portlandia.

Oregonians’ negative view of Gov. Kate Brown hits all-time high, residents favor gun restrictions, landlord relief, police use of tear gas, poll finds

In a new poll, only 37% of Oregonians had a positive view of Gov. Kate Brown. A plurality also said half Oregon's congressional districts should lean Democratic and half Republican, rather than be stacked against Republican candidates, as four of the five are now.

Oregonians’ negative view of Gov. Kate Brown hits all-time high, residents favor gun restrictions, landlord relief, police use of tear gas, poll finds

Gov. Kate Brown’s approval rating has tanked after a year in which she led the state through a pandemic, ensuing recession, racial justice protests, violent far right and anarchist demonstrations and historic wildfires, a new poll shows.

I endorse measures to give landlords relief if they also give relief to tenants who lost jobs during the worst days of the lockdowns. But her stance on stricter laws regarding concealed carry and her policies against indiscriminate use of tear gas by police (she's following judge's orders) are ones that win my support. Not so for many of my neighbors.

Seems like you all would be in danger of getting that far right proud boy candidate then if too many people decide to not vote for someone actively trying to help your state because of something stupid like a picture of her without a mask.

I'm just explaining why I think you are a moderate conservative. You aren't changing my mind with that post.

I am a moderate. I've never denied that. I think we need more moderates. Extremes are bad regardless of what side they come from.
