Nice Knowing Ya, Portland. Mayor Ted Wheeler Badly Trails Pro-Antifa Communist Opponent in Latest Poll

PJM:Well you can’t say you weren’t warned, Portland. Portlanders appear ready to throw over the guy who gives nightly rioters a pass in favor of a mayor who joins them.

After years of indulging antifa and anarchist violence, and after 100-plus nights of fire-setting, intimidation, and riots, the Portland populace appears to be on the cusp of electing a mayor whose heart is with antifa and the anarchist insurrection brigades marauding through the City of Roses.

According to a new poll by the Oregon polling firm DHS and reported by Willamette Week, Ted Wheeler is down by eleven points to the avowed antifa-loving communist who forced the November runoff, Sarah Iannarone.

Wheeler polled at 30% to Iannarone’s 41%, with the remaining 29% of surveyed voters split between writing in a candidate (16%) or remaining undecided (13%). It’s an especially notable result given that the poll was not conducted by either campaign, though PBA is supporting the mayor. (The poll has a four percentage point margin of error.)

The DHM phone survey, conducted from Sept. 17 to 22, also found that all the city and county measures presented to Portland voters are likely to pass. These include tax measures to build new libraries, maintain parks and renovate school buildings, as well as fund tuition-free preschool. [emphasis added]

Iannarone, who on the campaign trail has worn a skirt featuring the faces of communist dictators responsible for the murders of more than 100 million people, has many things she wants to accomplish with other people’s money. She wants to get rid of neighborhood parking (too bourgeois and expensive), provide free housing (it’s a “right”), open up voting to non-citizens, swiftly build “climate-smart communities” like the PRC, and defund the Portland Police Bureau by anywhere from $25 million to $50 million, depending on which day of the week your talk to her. read more

  1. Portland is so screwed if all the dumbasses there elect this evil woman as their next Mayor. She will definitely make Portland even weirder than it already is now. Can the rest of the state of Oregon secede from the Portland, Salem, Eugene areas? It looks like Portland is about to be pussy whipped into socialist/communist submission by this harridan and they’ll all bend over and ask for even more stupidity all in the name of equality and other progressive bs,

  2. …could also be, knowing that the communists can attack anyone with impunity and that most pollsters are Communist, that Portlanders are not being honest with pollsters…

  3. Time for the police to leave and time for the Feds to close the Portland airport since it can’t meet basic FFA requirements for security. Ditto for banks that are FDIC insured and I’m sure there are many more institutions that would disappear in the name of progressivism. I think the civil war will start in Portland.

    “…I think the civil war will start in Portland.”

    …I think it already HAS…

    “It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden,’ answered Éowyn. ‘And those who have not swords can still die upon them.”
    -J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Return of the King”

    …it doesn’t mean we’re not at war just because one side isn’t shooting back…last time I looked, Portland has been in a state of rebellion for 4 months and counting…

  5. Awesome that he is feeling the pressure but very sad that Communists are actually electable in an American city. Do these people think they are Canadian or something???

  6. In terms of deaths, Hitler was a piker compared to Mao, yet no one blinks an eye when Christmas tree balls or skirts feature the image of Mao. Can you imagine the reaction if anyone wore a tie or skirt with the image of Hitler? I will never understand that disconnect.

  7. Missing the really BIG takeaway. Add 40 and 31 together and that’s the percentage of Portland voters that think it’s OK to loot, burn, riot, promote insurrection and violence against America and Americans.
    Over 70%.
    After 120+ days of destruction, killings, etc.
    Over 70%
