So the Stalinist is beating the Trotskyite.
and she doesn’t take corporate money - only small donations from the people of Portland.//
Ya, well, we’ve all read about the millions of 200 dollar donations from all the unemployed citizens to democrats ,
who probably got that paid $200 for peacefully protesting for George Verboten Soros.
Imho
“Maybe a nice tsunami...”
Wouldn’t make it over the Costal Range...
But Portland’s a port.
“But Portland’s a port.”
So it Is.
It was made a very successful international port by Blake Herring in the early 70’s with the rise of Sea-Land and container ships.
All a ship has to do is cross the Columbia River Bar (the single most difficult Bar in the world with more than 450 SOS calls from boats/ships each year).
Then the ship has to travel 70 miles up the Columbia, turn South and navigate the Willamette for a short distance...
Any tsunami wave would be dissipated by this time.
I grew up on the beach in Northern OR and lived for a time in Portland. While growing up I spent many days and nights in Portland with friends.
When St. Helens went ‘BOOM’ I was in Eugene, then back to the coast.
I’ve lived through three ‘tsunami alerts’ (leave home and head to the costal mountains).
Additionally one summer evening, while walking with a friend on the beach at 10:00 PM one evening we heard an unusual sound from the water. The moon was full and though the water was several hundred feet away a large swell (rouge wave) was on it’s way. We ran as fast as we could away from the water, probably ran 300’ or so, then jumped (luckily) onto a large tree (drift wood). The water sprayed over us and went at least 200’ further up the shore. Then receded.
We were ok, not so much the two old ladies South of us in Seaside, OR who had decided to take a walk on the beach after seeing a movie. They both were drowned.
Aw, nuts. So tsunamis are out. How about earthquakes?
The dumb asses deserve everything they are getting!!!
Former RINOs keep their waffling approach and never stand for anything, anyway, so chaos has to come out of that. Portland shows it. So an ultra liberal can come in and actually stand for something concrete. So you can vote for chaos or vote for stuff you can know.
Neither are good, in this case.
She is more wacko and further to the left than he is. Unfortunately the Portland voters have given themselves this problem.
“Aw, nuts. So tsunamis are out. How about earthquakes?”
I know...
FWIW:
My folks bought their first bach property in ‘65. There was a BIG quake in Alaska in ‘64 that killed several folks in Cannon Beach (Northern Oregon) but did not harm Portland...

Your best bet is an eruption of Mt. Hood or recession from the state/union and having Antifia set-up ‘government’.
P.S. FYI, Eleutheria5, my wife and I are big fans of Briland.
Have a pleasant day!
I took my then 7 year old son clamming at Clam Beach in Humboldt county Ca the morning after that earthquake. The good clamming was on a “island” and we waded out and started digging with another 20 or so folks but soon the “tide” started rising and everyone headed to high ground and by the time I picked up my son and crossed the inlet the water was up to my shoulders. I got the cold shakes and sat in the old Jeep pickup with the heater on full blast for 30 or 40 minutes before I could drive the 20 miles to Eureka and home

It’s cold water to be sure!
Never liked being out that far even when body surfing.
Stay safe!
