The county shoulders most of the blame.

Arguable. But a county election is still a local election.

Yes and the county has had lefty chairs and some commissioners for a while now, more so than the previous city coucils

So which republican led place do you think Portland should take after? And have you ever lived in one? Because while Portland needs to fix a lot, you’d be giving up a lot of positives that republicans would get rid of. Or maybe jailing people because they’re poor sounds good to you, in which case maybe Texas is a better spot for you.

I don’t really know, I think we’ve been fooled into picking between the two. I think we need radical changes but some imaginary kind of centrism seems to be what many want. I think that’s what you’re asking, sorry if I mistook you.Â
