Portland’s next mayor could be an open supporter of Antifa, the violent, far-left movement whose members have unleashed violence in cities across America.

Left-wing activist Sarah Iannarone will face incumbent Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler in a runoff election on Nov. 3 after neither candidate received a majority of votes in the first round of voting.

Wheeler beat Iannarone in the first round of voting, but has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum over his handling of the city’s nightly unrest, which has included nearly 30 riots since late May. A supporter of President Donald Trump was shot and killed Saturday night during a pro-Trump demonstration in Portland.

Trump has criticized Wheeler for not embracing federal assistance to quell the city’s riots, while left-wing activists have accused Wheeler of being too tough on demonstrators. Local progressive activists have called for Wheeler’s resignation, but the mayor has said he has no plans to step down.

Iannarone, whose platform includes a “Housing for All” plank and a pledge to slash the city’s police funding, identified herself as a member of the Antifa movement in a January 2019 tweet.

I feel sorry for the decent people of that city.

Fine with me.

Let Portand be a smoking ruin.

It is up to the state's government to deal with it.

In five years, all our big cities will be run by communists and largely populated by homeless drug addicts, professional agitators, mentally-disturbed performance artists and welfare cheats, so why not?   
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It's easy enough to shrug this off, to let them wallow in cesspools of their own making... right...?

But... in the long term this cannot work in our favor.

Every city taken over by communists who are no longer even trying to disguise their true nature (behind the curtains of "socialists, progressives," etc.) becomes another beach head secured in the ongoing struggle.

Each one INCREASES their power while decreasing what influence the Constitutionalsts/Republicans have left.

When the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government in October 1917, they did not originally believe they were going to win, because their actual numbers were not large. It came as a surprise to them that the old government collapsed so quickly.

But then... they focused their attacks, gained control over a good portion of the army, began to amass power, and were able to wage a civil war in which they eventually defeated the opposition.

By permitting communist strongholds HERE, we are giving them time to build strength and continually acquire "territory". They currently control a large part of the west coast and are gaining strength in the mid-Atlantic states as well as in New England. Not to mention inner cities, even in so-called "red" states.

There are about 95 members of the "progressive" caucus today. I don't know whether the cpc is comprised of Representatives only, or if Senators are in it as well, but if it's just House members, that's about 40% of the democrat side.  I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of the remaining 60% deliberately refrain from active membership in the cpc so as not to reveal their true allegiances to their constituencies.

They call themselves "progressives", but we all know that that's a code word for something else.

The power of the American communists continues to grow.
Slowly, but steadily.
What "territory" have they gained so far that they've later been forced to concede?
How will we stop them, and "take it back"...?

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
I thought Antifa didn't exist, per the Democrats.
The Republic is lost.
