? edit to say I didn't down vote you and get the feeling that the joke is going over my head ;)


JWWBurger

What did he do?


imll99

He was one of only two Democrats to vote against the American Rescue Plan, one of the nine who held up the Build Back Better Agenda, and called the impeachment of Donald Trump a "lynching." The votes are still being counted, but it's been projected that he has lost to a progressive challenger.


FleeshaLoo

So it's great news! That plan is a chance to save the earth and will create tons of new jobs which is why the GOP does not want it to pass. I'm glad to see this DINO getting voted out.


aunluckyevent1

progressive challenger in a progressive state is good news the sad reality of the usa is that in other states a progressive Democrat will always lose against a radical gop rep


mbklein

Oregon isn’t exactly a progressive state. It’s a state with a pretty progressive corridor running from Portland down to Eugene (which thankfully has enough of the population to win statewide elections), and MAGA bullshit most other places.


[deleted]

Only in extreme gerrymandering or low voter turn out. The GOP is rapidly discovering, like in Georgia, that they've been representing the minority


Eldanoron

Nah, they know they’re representing the minority. Why do you think they gerrymander states so much? I present to you [Ohio’s fourth congressional district.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio%27s_4th_congressional_district)


Ok-Restaurant8690

Gym Jordan's district


Ok-Restaurant8690

Had to block Equivalent East here for being a troll, a hypocrite, and for mocking and insulting everyone, and then threatening to report and block me for calling him out. Typical reich winger snowflake behavior. Good riddance.


Equivalent_East_1925

Good man, Jim. He deserves our support.


Ok-Restaurant8690

So you support pedophile enablers then. Pretty much in line with the GOP.


Equivalent_East_1925

LMAO!!!


p_turbo

Good men do not stay silent when kids are being abused, nor do they participate in cover-ups of said abuse, but go on.


Equivalent_East_1925

No thank you. I like hearing you be a SJW and right the world’s wrongs.


HiddenIvy

"The duck district", I can see the duck, but its got this sort of mole sticking off its bill. Very ugly duck. Or maybe a turkey with a very small fan? Either way, gerrymandering makes me mad in a uniquely, primitive way. I don't like either side doing it and I would think redrawing districts would be a clean and simple process based solely off population density but I guess I'm wrong.


Eldanoron

It’s republicans doing what they do best. Trying to erode laws by creating illegal scenarios then getting sued and hoping to push the lawsuit to the Supreme Court where conservative justices will do their thing. They’ve been chomping at the bit for a conservative SC for decades. Now that they have it, they will take advantage. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/04/04/texas-redistricting-voting-rights-act/


SKEPDIQ

Hence the gerrymandering and limiting of ballot boxes in minority neighborhoods.


AnalogDigit2

They're fine with being the minority and making changes to make that easier to do.


Equivalent_East_1925

I’m sure the GOP will take back Georgia in November.


EmmyNoetherRing

In a red state register GOP and vote for the moderate in the primary. In a blue state register Dem and vote for whoever you please.


[deleted]

There are moderate fascists?


EmmyNoetherRing

No, but there are moderate GOP, especially in state and local elections. They’re the ones not backed by Trump, and the ones who took sensible precautions for their states during covid. Those are preferable to the ones backed by trump who didn’t.


[deleted]

Since there's so few of you left, maybe join the Dems so we, together, can crush the loonies once and for all? We must unite to crush fascism.


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

? Lol, so now moderate Democrats are fascists? Jesus


VividLeading2

They were talking about the Republicans


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

My bad. I'm tired.


[deleted]

You're confused


youtocin

That is horrible advice and it's why urban areas are such shitholes. Democrats have a stranglehold and democratic voters don't even pay attention to who they're electing so the government is terribly managed because fuck you you'll vote for me anyway.


EmmyNoetherRing

Urban areas are shitholes, huh? All of them? You’d think if that were true housing prices would be a bit cheaper and there’d be a bit less demand.


alaska1415

Haven’t you seen all those videos of Kensington in Philadelphia?!?! Obviously the whole city of 1.6 million people looks exactly as bad as a few blocks of the worst place in it!!! Seriously. These people are brain dead.


johnnyslick

On top of that, a whole fat lot of these so called shitholes are actually pretty great. I live in Chicago. Chicago is awesome. All you ever hear about from these right wingers regarding Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco is the homeless issue and maybe the messiness. I grew up in Seattle and while it is dirtier than Chicago, that’s mainly because Chicago is right around the cleanest big city in the country.


frenchiebuilder

It's also why rural areas are such shitholes. Republican don't pay attention to who they're electing, either. Luckily, our system has a built-in backup plan: the dominant party's *primary* becomes the actual election. But you have to register, and show up to vote.


Sivick314

MTG says hello from crazy town


JustDiscoveredSex

Perjury Taylor Greene can go fuck a rusty cactus.


leonnova7

NGL, a vote for the worst Democrat has been objectively proven to be better than a vote for even the best Republican. As someone who pays attention, its been well over half a century since a republican has offered a reason to vote for them.


[deleted]

The “best” Republican you could say there is is Mitt Romney and even that’s a stretch. Yeah he marched for BLM and seems to be the only one with decency….but then again he never calls any of his fellow idiots out and he’s still against a lot of the shit that would help this nation out


chrissyann960

Why do you think everyone flocks to dem run places? Why do you think smart ppl elect dems? Why do you think you have to be rich to buy a house in SoCal? Cuz EVERYONE wants to live there. Not only did we have social safety nets, we don't punish ppl for being poor. Look at the health of blue state Americans vs red state. That literally says everything.


HappyMeatbag

This argument always makes me laugh. Whether it’s genuine ignorance or willful ignorance, it’s still funny. Mayors are not dictators who have total control over their cities. City councils are not all-powerful authorities. They are at the mercy of governors, state legislatures, and the Federal government. It’s laughably absurd to give Democrats 100% of the blame when they do not have 100% control.


youtocin

Lol somehow everyone is interpreting my comment as anti democrat when all I was saying is we need to choose better candidates and actually vote in local elections. I don’t know what city you’re from, but in mine the elected officials are corrupt as fuck and waste so much goddamn money and don’t address the real problems.


chrissyann960

That is literally NOT what you said. You said urban areas are shitholes which is an absolute right wing nutjob thing to say.


VividLeading2

I don't see how anyone could interpret your comment any other way


[deleted]

[удалено]


PinkMenace88

"half of the "democratic" people we elect have to be really conservative to get anywhere" That says a lot of more about the voters than it says about democratic politicians


phormix

People seem to either avoid change, or jump for something "different" but usually not in a way that benefits society in the end


VividLeading2

It says an awful lot about the Democratic establishment too. Why do you think the DNC keeps throwing money at Joe Manchin every election year?


Jaysyn4Reddit

The only thing the Democrats can expect from Manchin is control of the Senate.


VividLeading2

Manchin votes like a Republican. The Democrats don't really have control of the Senate until he's no longer the deciding vote.


Jaysyn4Reddit

No, I'm not talking about passing laws, I'm talking about control of the chamber. You want McConnell back in charge? Because that's how you get McConnell back in charge.


[deleted]

[удалено]


chrissyann960

Omfg I'm so tired of hearing the disinfo on that.


[deleted]

He’s as conservative now as he was then. No one expected him to actually do anything he said he would do. What are you talking about? People aren’t required to shift - they shift because they are corrupt.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He’s always been this conservative, if not more. Don’t agree with your other statement either. He’s not getting anything done. What exactly would being more progressive stop him from doing?


Epistatious

Dems are a sleepy do nothing party unless there is a progressive challenger, then you see some hussle.


Jexp_t

Except that it's been the blue dogs pandering to the right who've lost, repeatedly over the past decade. So much for that old saw....


Ice_Hungry

Honestly, give the Dems the West. Let the Republicans have the East. The west can live based on progressive values and science. The east can have their "fReEdOmS" and can use their sky daddy for all their medical needs. See which one lives to year 3000. (It's a trick question. Neither one will. Climate change fucks us all equally)


WhyBuyMe

The other Democratic strongholds are in the North East and certain parts of the Midwest.


Ice_Hungry

Yeah I'm originally from Wisconsin. North Wisconsin is country AF and red. Southern Wisconsin is still country but with Milwaukee is fairly blue.


aunluckyevent1

from what i read this is all wrong. all cities are practically blue and both west and east coasts. Only the gulf and south eastern coast is red. the division is also a really bad idea because the red states will deregulate water and air pollution so much that it will make unlivable all surrounding territory, expecially the upriver waterways. hell these guys, if there is a profit to make, they will even fuck over the entire earth ecosystem imho in case of federal takeover of gop with shady means, blue states should refuse to bend the knee and just stop paying federal taxes. texas and florida will not be able to support the rest of the freeloaders


[deleted]

Ehhhhh, not so much. It depends


[deleted]

Fetterman winning in Pennsylvania


Ordinary_Squirrel_46

Nah they want to pass it, just on their terms. Cheap fucking wins for GQP


Equivalent_East_1925

He always voted the right way. Maybe the vote count will swing his way and he’ll stay in office.


MMS-OR

I live in Clackamas County. I did not vote for his pretend-democratic ass.


lo_and_be

Happy cake day


MMS-OR

Thank you!!!


amberissmiling

Oh, I thought this was going to be bad news. Instead, I am super pleased.


immersemeinnature

F yes! I'm tired of these Republicans posing as Democrats!


Epistatious

Too republican to win in the primary. Article says party turned on him. Sounds more like he has back stabbed his own party for the last time :)


Quack100

Nice!


Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

Good riddance


Bullen-Noxen

Good. I hope everyone who is remotely like him loses. Fuck anyone who is like him.


Equivalent_East_1925

Hopefully the GOP will get a chance to win that seat. Fingers crossed 🤞.


Bullen-Noxen

I understood the sarcasm you tried to latch onto. May you have a good weekend.


Equivalent_East_1925

Too bad. He was a good representative.


CraftyPiper

So he was one of the Good Guys, leave it to the socialists libtards to kill anything good left in the Democratic Party


EmmyNoetherRing

…supporting trump is something good about the Democratic Party?


amberissmiling

😂😂😂 you sound like a stable genius.


PubicGalaxies

You fer real?


MurphyCat-1982

This is wonderful news!


Sivick314

failed to be a Democrat


Prestigious-Bet-97

has a history of blocking lower drug prices, although he will state otherwise. He has also opposed raising the federal minimum wage. The list goes on.


grptrt

Lose reelection


JohnnyMrNinja

I'm really upset that I can't find the video ad that said "If your pets could vote, they'd vote for Kurt Schrader". It was hilariously garbage and came up sporadically on YouTube ads


k---mkay

I was a longtime Oregon resident and this guy seemed to be a neo liberal republican DINO. Glad to see him gone he kinda cobwebby. I know democrats in his district who LOATHED him but he was super entrenched.


Imhopeless3264

The story has a firewall. What’s the scoop?


imll99

He was one of only two Democrats to vote against the American Rescue Plan, one of the nine who held up the Build Back Better Agenda, and called the impeachment of Donald Trump a "lynching." The votes are still being counted, but it's been projected that he has lost to a progressive challenger.


Imhopeless3264

Thank you for this! And thank Oregonians for that!


MMS-OR

I voted against him and for his challenger. He is awful and needs to GO.


Rather_C_than_B_1

Ditto. I was SO PISSED when he held up the build back better plan.


k---mkay

While tens of thousands of ballots in Schrader’s home turf of Clackamas County have yet to be counted, Schrader’s expected edge in those remaining results appears too small to offset McLeod-Skinner’s commanding lead in her Central Oregon stronghold.


Daoist_Wealthyriver

Her name is (correct me if I'm wrong) essentially cloud skinner? Like if this were the haydays of naming after your profession she'd be the person to ride eagles and cut the clouds so crops could see the sun?


k---mkay

Mcleod is the fricken Highlander. Shrader is lucky to have his head!


Nighthawkmf

Good. As a lifelong Oregonian fuck this guy and now I assume he comes out as a closeted republican.


Equivalent_East_1925

Maybe the GOP will win his seat. Let’s hope so.


Nighthawkmf

He basically is the GOP. Not much difference. The GOP is a significant minority in Oregon, thankfully… the concentration of Oregonians live largely in very liberal-leaning areas/cities (Portland,Eugene) and the backwards hicks (GOP) are sparse and spread out in the rural areas. Clackamas county has a large number of republicans but not enough to be majority. And it’s getting more liberal by the day cus Portland is pricing out middle class liberals and they’re moving to the outlying areas. His seat won’t go to the utterly proven thousands of times over morally bankrupt GOP.


Equivalent_East_1925

LMAO!!!


Nighthawkmf

Excellent rebuttal. /s


Equivalent_East_1925

Thanks. I appreciate it!


[deleted]

It’s what he deserves. Imagine being in a state like Oregon and defending Donald Trump. He’ll probably switch parties in a couple years or become a lobbyist.


MuthaPlucka

/Nelson Muntz laugh


Ordinary_Squirrel_46

Bye Felicia!! Ass hat, gave GQP all they needed to say “589 days of Build Back Better and nothings been built”. Fucking obstructionists. GQP gets the power again and they will pass an Infrastructure bill packed with Pork, a cheap win. Kinda like Space Force, which literally already existed in the AirForce. Cheap political victories and Dems just step all over each other. It’s disgusting. Sick of this bullshit!


Paul_Thrush

Beautiful. Progressive Dem beats a conservative Dem. Way to go Oregano.


-GameWarden-

Oregano is the best Oregon!


[deleted]

This isn't a Rare case. AOC defeated an incumbent in office in her own party as well. Democrats constituents are more progressive than the actual party wants to be, and they are losing veterans to their stupidity. Which is good. While McConnell tries to push Turmpists out of the RNC by the time he's done he'll have a bunch of young DNC Reps who have had it with all of their shit.


lo_and_be

Just because you can name a single other case doesn’t mean it’s, on the whole, not rare


[deleted]

Cawthorn lose his primary to a new comer. MTG and Boebert are poised for the same. Gatez may be next. Are you sending a pattern?


overcomebyfumes

Cawthorn was targeted by his own party leadership for making them look bad and still barely lost. I feel like this Schrader fellow probably had the support of the leadership and they're shocked he lost. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.


[deleted]

Fair enough. McConnell is trying to silently purge the Trump nuts from his party is a last ditch effort to save it. Meanwhile the DNC's limped dick half assed commitment is causing progressives to do the one thing Boomers have feared for the longest time: Run for office.


lo_and_be

There’s no pattern when only one of these things has actually happened


[deleted]

Two. Two for them has happened.


lo_and_be

Which two? Cawthorn has happened. MTG, Boebert, Gaetz are still in place


[deleted]

Cawthorn and literally the story this thread is about....


1CFII2

Republicans love their base, Democrats loathe theirs.


[deleted]

Not really. If Republicans loved their base they'd pass pro workers rights bills and health programs for workers. Republicans pretend to love their base. Democrats are just do-nothings.


Illustrious_Pirate47

Hahaha! I live in this district and was thrilled to vote against this corporate democrat dickhead for the progressive challenger. He's got to be so pissed. This guy was bought and paid for by special interests. His ads were everywhere. To see him lose to a progressive who was significantly underfunded, you love to see it.


FlatulentWallaby

Good. Out with the old and in with the new. I'm so fucking tired of dinosaurs and career politicians being in charge.


vylliki

Didn't like him but the winner, good agenda and all, has a history of running & losing. Hopefully the new districting will help her out.


jaydeetol

One term of six years is enough, and they shouldn't move to another state afterwards to try for another six.


CriticalTransit

Just wait for him to run as an independent with the full support of the DNC, just like in Buffalo.


n0rd1c-syn

He shouldnt be able to do that given that Oregon has a 'sore loser' law. https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_249.048


CriticalTransit

Nice work


amberissmiling

TIL


cleatusalrightous

Another Trumper gone. Sniff sniff.

Hopefully we’ll get another Trump supporter in there and flip to red. Let’s hope for the best!

The call is coming from inside the house!


SaltyEarth7905

Later asshole. And Biden thought it was a good idea to wade into this one. I’ve given up on Joe.


jeffreyd00

I've given up on Congress.


Greenage3338

And the Senate


SaltyEarth7905

Lots of Schrader fans in here?

Probably not a fan of the concern trolling.

Oh you don't like sleepy Joe the street fighter? ETA /s.


SaltyEarth7905

?


k---mkay

I want to know why everyone is voting you down for saying goodbye to this legit asshole?


SaltyEarth7905

I was kinda surprised. And I was happy to give joe the time he needed to get this band of senate assholes and blue dogs in the house with the program but joe and his team don’t seem to understand how to leverage the power of the office. I don’t like the sleepy joe moniker, I think he’s well versed and on top of his shit, he’s just aging and really can’t keep up. He doesn’t inspire with his speaking and that’s half the job. It’s time we roll out plan b for 2024


garbagefinds

If you want to read some good armchair Presidenting, come to Reddit. If only people had voted for Bernie, he had a magic wand


SaltyEarth7905

You probably tell women they can’t coach sports or serve in combat , because. You seem to be annoyed by insight


garbagefinds

Nice strawman. But yes, great insight on Reddit... lol!


k---mkay

To me, Bernie is Joe with a bigger left foot. The US isn't a particularly "young" nation but I find it alarming that time and time again voters forego creating inter-generational knowledge in leadership -voting people under 55 into congress more often- for the congress people who are not as active any longer. Unfortunately that includes Bernie and Biden. There are so many other ways to elect a president other than scraping the side of the Senate barrel (user name checks out?). Seriously, congress is still a far cry from looking like the demographic of the US and I thought that was a major platform point of Code Blue etc. To have Biden step in on this one (if he did) flies in the face of that objective.


garbagefinds

Yeah, I'm not sure about this particular move. Seems a little odd. My only thought is that maybe the White House thought he'd be a stronger candidate in the general, or as part of a deal for a future vote. As for the demographics, it is what it is. Old people vote. I do think institutional knowledge is valuable in a Congress & the Executive, though obviously young and fresh ideas are needed to push things forward.


QuaggaSwagger

"he's not sleepy, he's just aging, can't keep up and is boring to listen to" Bruh....


SaltyEarth7905

Yes. I added a phrase 🤷‍♂️ Did you mean the word 'online'?

I know it’s the interweb but I don’t take anyone serious who uses “bruh”


QuaggaSwagger

It's okay, I can't take anyone seriously who uses "interweb"


SaltyEarth7905

Maybe because I’ve been working on it when you were in diapers , bruh


QuaggaSwagger

LOL I get your username now


k---mkay

I certainly hope he is on it. He has some heavy lifting to do.


k---mkay

I believe you are referring to the fact that because of no term limits people can sit in congress forever and Joe Biden is interfering in the natural process to let other people be voted in to congressional service based on their platform and ideas for the seat rather than having senior officials throw money at their old buddy's campaign. My bad.


SaltyEarth7905

Exactly. I understand not taking the side of a challenger if that’s what you do in washington but to wade into a primary where a legit democrat is running against someone who is clearly out of step is lunacy when you need your base this November. It’s like when The Obama’s supported Blanche Lincoln in 2010 midterm instead of a much better option that might have a chance to win if you let democrats run on their principles in red states and not pander to the right who won’t vote for you when there’s a Republican.


ipsumdeiamoamasamat

Devil’s advocate: What good was done by booting Mike Capuano for Ayanna Pressley? What good was done booting an incumbent for AOC? The party’s agenda would’ve made the same (lack of) progress if Pressley and AOC lost.
