Everyone is debating AOC's politeness, while the fascism is literally staring us in the face.

I think Texas had some Democratic politicians pull that stunt once to keep from voting.

Probably didn't work out for them in the long run.

Oregon isn't the only place Republicans are trying to thwart democracy and the will of the people:

Governor Kate Brown (D) tasked the state police to hunt down the Republicans like the hypocritical fascist she is.

When she was a Senator, she did walkouts, too.

“Under certain circumstances, it’s fair to say we would use all tools available to us, and stage a boycott." ~Kate Brown 2001​

The policies that the Republicans are walking out on? Carbon tax legislation.

These fucking bourgeois city dwellers don't understand that this is an attack on rural proletariats.

The reason for the walkout was Republicans trying to redraw the legislative districts to benefit themselves without the governor's signature. The same thing Republicans have done in other states and which courts keep striking down as illegal gerrymandering.

Seems the Democrats weren't thwarting the will of the people but instead trying to prevent Republicans from ramming down people's throats illegal districts which would prevent the will of the people.

House Republicans and Gov. Kitzhaber were unable to agree on how to draw district lines and time was running out. Kitzhaber threatened to veto any Republican map he didn’t like. The Oregon Constitution mandated that if lines were not drawn by June 30 of a redistricting year, the Secretary of State is then given authority to draw the maps (See Article IV of the Oregon Constitution). Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, a Democrat, was ready, willing, and able to draw a map that Republicans hated. The GOP decided to make a long shot attempt in to enact a Republican plan. Instead of passing redistricting through a House or Senate bill that must be signed by the governor, they wrote a Joint Resolution to enact redistricting. A House (or Senate) Joint Resolution only requires the approval of both the House and Senate to be valid (both were under Republican control in 2001). Democrats threatened to go to court, but Republicans were out of options.​

Maybe if Senators weren't popularly elected they wouldn't care about gerrymandering.

My point of contention is both parties have done it, that's politics. Gerrymandering is always a nasty fight, for both parties, a lot's at stake, that why I coming around to favoring a populous vote, maybe eliminate red against blue. Off topic.

Texas Democrats Flee to Neighboring State to Avoid Redistricting Vote - 2003-05-15


https://www.voanews.com/archive/tex...ing-state-avoid-redistricting-vote-2003-05-15

Democratic state legislators in Texas adopted an unusual strategy this week in a political battle with Republicans; they fled the state to neighboring Oklahoma.

On Monday, the Republican-led Texas state legislature was preparing to convene when it suddenly became apparent that virtually all the Democrats in the Texas House were nowhere to be found.

Republicans quickly ordered state troopers and the legendary Texas Rangers to round them up. But the Democrats were one step ahead of the law. They fled to neighboring Oklahoma and set up shop in a hotel.

so both sides are playing this game

what the fuck are they getting paid for?

and where's the outrage directed towards 'the fascist' democrat sending out the cops to bring back at least 2 republicans when the republican in the article above was doing exactly the same?

seems it's the general public getting fucked over by these ridiculous political games and they (the politicians) should get a boot up their arses to get on with working FOR the populace or get the hell outta dodge

and... you do know that article is 10 years old. got anything current? relevant? no?
huh

The State Police have been ordered to find and bring the renegade GOP members back. The GOPs response? To tell the police to send bachelors because they will kill them. And here once again, instead of following established laws...republicans create their own. Threatening murder to get their way. Nods head. Those that support traitors...are traitors.

Since the GOP is in Idaho, give Idaho their districts and move on without them. Eastern oregon has nothing but sagebrush. Nothing of value.

Idaho...isn't that where Clinton sent in The Deep State FBI to murder a bunch of innocent citizens?

i know! i saw that p.o.s speaking out about 'they'd better send bachelors because i ain't coming quietly' - really, threatening the lives of police officers? and... that's okay with republicans? can you imagine their reaction if a black guy came out with that crap?

Oregon really isn't any better than some of the southern states. Just the opposite end of the spectrum but no less crazy.
However they have legal weed and that trumps any crazy.
