Oregon Republicans facing arrest

[Diopolis]

What the hell is that shit ?

The governor have to send the police after elected representatives because those people are unwilling to do their job ?

Tell me this is a dream. that is this some sort of fake news.

Did the USA truly reached that kind of low ???

this is the most ridiculous news I heard today... Sometimes, I think conservatives should ba banned from voting.

This happens every year, on both sides of the aisle. Just recently it happened with democrats in wisconsin.

[San Lumen]

They will be reelected no matter what. Their districts are too red for them to lose except for two or three of them.

Well boo boo hoo hoo hoo for the overlords of the coast.

Yeah how dare we allow those on the coast and in Portland representation. They should have less seats than those in rural Oregon because they have cattle and grow crops.

[Arlenton]

They were elected to represent rural Oregon. Not the state as a whole.

and respect the will of the majority of the state. They dont get to dictate policy as they are not in the majority and shut down the government like a petulant child

Why not? Are they breaking any laws? If no, then it looks like it’s something they can do. They are protecting a vulnerable minority from a majority backed law that will harm them.

[Thermodolia]

Because it was fucking winter

And?

That’s why it was unused. If we are talking about that bird refuge thing

[Bear Stearns]

Potent demographic mix. Sunbelt cities are tense with conservative whites squaring off against increasingly non-white city centers.

If anything sets off the breakdown of the United States, it will be racial problems first and foremost.

I don’t think you understand Atlanta then. Atlanta has been majority non-white for the last 3 decades

We're talking about the metro areas. Atlanta city proper's borders are pretty arbitrary.

[Arlenton]

Well boo boo hoo hoo hoo for the overlords of the coast.

Yeah how dare we allow those on the coast and in Portland representation. They should have less seats than those in rural Oregon because they have cattle and grow crops.

I mean, you literally said you don’t want those farmers to have representation...

[Northern Davincia]

This kind of stunt is so outlandish that I applaud it.

[Diopolis]

But see, anyone who lives outside of a major city can't count as a person. That'd be silly.

[Scomagia]

Yep. A lot of this state is timber country, not that Salem gives a shit.

yeah free and fair elections are so irritating. How dare they party who won the most seats gets to do what they where elected to do.

I didn't say that. I am merely pointing out that a significant portion of this state is marginalized, demeaned and, frankly, abused by Salem.

[Bear Stearns]

This kind of stunt is so outlandish that I applaud it.

It is pretty funny.

[San Lumen]

Its not as many as you think. Governors make many appointments that require confirmation from the state senate.

The rest of the nation is not like NY Lumen. In quite a lot of states, pretty much all of them, the biggest offices are all elected plus the entire judicial branch.

Either way it’s pretty much a moot point as the bureaucracy will still keep running

I am not referring to offices like Attorney General or Comptroller. We elect those in New York.

There are many appointments the Governor of every state makes to boards and commissions and to lead state agencies and other positions within those agencies. The head of the DMV is appointed by the governor for example

[Thermodolia]

And where are these pro-lifers in Atlanta? Please do tell for I’d like to know

Presumably, the Georgia march for life.

That’s pretty much the only time people from outside of the metro ever go downtown much less into Atlanta. Outside of that you’re going to be hard pressed to find people in the metro area who agree with the abortion law.

Republicans could actually lose a chamber if they aren’t careful

[San Lumen]

Yeah how dare we allow those on the coast and in Portland representation. They should have less seats than those in rural Oregon because they have cattle and grow crops.

I mean, you literally said you don’t want those farmers to have representation...

No I did not.

[Lockdownn]

Good. Just goes to show our party based system is completely fucked.

[San Lumen]

yeah free and fair elections are so irritating. How dare they party who won the most seats gets to do what they where elected to do.

I didn't say that. I am merely pointing out that a significant portion of this state is marginalized, demeaned and, frankly, abused by Salem.

Yeah how dare those people in Portland and the coast have their votes for statewide office counted equally as yours and they get more representation based on their population

[Arlenton]

This kind of stunt is so outlandish that I applaud it.

This has happened before. I think Oregon Republicans did it like a month or so before this, and it worked. Other notable examples are Wisconsin Democrats in like 2011 and Texas Democrats in 2003(?).

[Loben The 2nd]

Well boo boo hoo hoo hoo for the overlords of the coast.

Yeah how dare we allow those on the coast and in Portland representation. They should have less seats than those in rural Oregon because they have cattle and grow crops.

PERFECT. Well done lumen.

[Thermodolia]

I don’t think you understand Atlanta then. Atlanta has been majority non-white for the last 3 decades

We're talking about the metro areas. Atlanta city proper's borders are pretty arbitrary.

You said inner city. Besides the metro area is pretty much half and half at this point. During the hight of the BLM protests nothing crazy happened in Atlanta.

I really don’t think anything would actually happen in Atlanta. Many conservatives hate going near it while many liberals hate leaving it

[San Lumen]

and respect the will of the majority of the state. They dont get to dictate policy as they are not in the majority and shut down the government like a petulant child

Why not? Are they breaking any laws? If no, then it looks like it’s something they can do. They are protecting a vulnerable minority from a majority backed law that will harm them.

by shutting down the government? Why not just not show up at all until the next election since they dont respect that they lose the last election?

[The Two Jerseys]

This kind of stunt is so outlandish that I applaud it.

It is pretty funny.

Most entertaining thing since the Colts fled Baltimore in the middle of the night.

[Arlenton]

I mean, you literally said you don’t want those farmers to have representation...

No I did not.

You said earlier that these Republican Senators should ignore their districts’ constituents and instead vote for what the state as a whole (aka the urban majority) wants.

[Bear Stearns]

I really don’t think anything would actually happen in Atlanta. Many conservatives hate going near it while many liberals hate leaving it

Well sticking with the Sunbelt, a BLM guy did go on a killing spree in Dallas.

[Bear Stearns]

It is pretty funny.

Most entertaining thing since the Colts fled Baltimore in the middle of the night.

Or when the Orioles did during the riots.

[San Lumen]

Yeah how dare we allow those on the coast and in Portland representation. They should have less seats than those in rural Oregon because they have cattle and grow crops.

PERFECT. Well done lumen.

Nice to know your support rigged elections

[Diopolis]

And?
I'd still consider an antifa attack on georgia march for life to be the closest thing to a plausible scenario that leads to a spiral of out of control political violence.
