Oregon Republicans facing arrest

[Arlenton]

The walkout in Oregon has nothing to do with elections, though. Why do you keep spouting drivel about "not respecting elections"?

My relatives think stunts like this are stupid and petty and their state legislators in Albany are Republicans

Well shit. Sorry Oregon timber workers, some people on the other side of the country think the people you voted for are stupid and petty. Looks like you better get your resumes ready and start applying at Walmart.

[Necroghastia]

Totally a credible threat and not scaremongering in the least, that.

Yes, "politicians who have done a thing are likely to continue doing the thing unless stopped" seems pretty credible and realistic to most people.

You wanna elaborate on what thing they're doing, or..?

[Scomagia]

Work together for the rural folks to get raped by the interests of Salem and Portland, you mean.

Totally a credible threat and not scaremongering in the least, that.

Considering it happens already...yeah, talk about something you aren't ignorant about.

[Arlenton]

Work together for the rural folks to get raped by the interests of Salem and Portland, you mean.

Yeah how dare those people be allowed to vote or have representation relative to their population

How dare people in a rural district vote for senators who will represent their interests.

They have less residents so they get less representation. That's how representative democracy works.

At this point you could probably just add up their collective actions.

I'll take things i didnt say for 2000 please

[Necroghastia]

If I'm so ignorant and it's so rampant, it should be easy to explain how it happens.

yeah how dare anyone who disagrees with you have representation or be allowed to vote.

[Scomagia]

Yeah how dare those people be allowed to vote or have representation relative to their population

When our livelihoods are at stake, you should expect resistance.

Don't you know? There's less of us so we should just accept the ignorant whims of Portland and Salem, regardless of what happens to us.

[Arlenton]

Well shit. Sorry Oregon timber workers, some people on the other side of the country think the people you voted for are stupid and petty. Looks like you better get your resumes ready and start applying at Walmart.

They have less residents so they get less representation. That's how representative democracy works.

Each district has roughly equal population.

This. Very. Fucking. Bill. Is. An. Example.

So how do they get to do what they want at the expense of large cities like Albany?

[Telconi]

This is how freedom dies, to thundering applause aye votes.

I keep asking for people to source and explain what these "actions" are, yet no one's actually done so. Funny, that.

[San Lumen]

Yeah we should give them less representation or rig the election so their votes matter less. Or the minority should shut down the government because they dont get their way.

Again since they can stop the legislature from functioning with this stunt why bother showing up at all just run for election and say ill protect your interests by not doing anything and those evil people in Portland and the coast can't oppress you.

Fucking. How. Question. Mark.

They really should knock that shit off.

[Scomagia]

Well shit. Sorry Oregon timber workers, some people on the other side of the country think the people you voted for are stupid and petty. Looks like you better get your resumes ready and start applying at Walmart.

They have less residents so they get less representation. That's how representative democracy works.

And they have maneuvers available to keep from being stomped out entirely, like walkouts. This is also representative democracy.

[San Lumen]

This. Very. Fucking. Bill. Is. An. Example.

Fucking. How. Question. Mark.

Its real simple. They get less representation and their votes dont count more for statewide elections therefore they are being oppressed

Except people did, your willful ignorance is nobody's fault except you.

Can you make a single post without lying about what I'm saying?

[Telconi]

Fucking. How. Question. Mark.

Its real simple. They get less representation and their votes dont count more for statewide elections therefore they are being oppressed

You do understand it's possible to hold the majority of the legislature and not be scum right?

Where????? I've been keeping up with this entire fucking thread, I've never seen anyone do so beyond vague shit like you just said.

[Thermodolia]

Nevermind that. How would you feel if it ever happened?

Answer the question and stop dodging it. Otherwise I’m going to assume you’d be pissed and you don’t want to answer the hypothetical because you realize that it would destroy your current position

I respect the outcome of elections

So you’re saying that you wouldn’t be pissed? That you wouldn’t be pissed at all if the rural areas took away the state funding for NYC?

Press X to doubt
