This mentality is exactly why candidates lose the Electoral College. There is no guarantee the electoral map will the look the same next election.

California, Oregon, and Washington State are the worst thing to ever happen to the Democratic Party. I wish you would all get out. SJWs are what cost us the election. What is more important? Having a majority in Congress, or the physique of a comic book character. GTFO out of my political party and go start your own. Farm Labor has sacrificed too much for you dogs to run wild and ruin the platform. Oregon is the absolute worst. You are a bunch of hippies who live out in the boonies and live in a fantasy land that is out of date with the modern world. GTFO!

Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin would all love to see at least 100,000 residents come back from the West Coast to rebuild "The Blue Bridge" that could have held back Trump.

Home is where you can do the best good. How about we do it here, eh? Instead of snubbing anyone that isn't "born and bred" Portland, maybe, just maybe, we care for others instead of just pissing on them for not having the same quality of life and wanting to improve things, making a new home wherever they land?

Next question: Would you also say the same thing to incoming refugees? If so, I hope you can taste the hypocrisy.

How about YOU go live in Flint MI. Then tell me to commit to living there forever. I literally wanted to commit suicide whenever I thought about my future when I still lived there. You sound spoiled.

White liberals only tell other white liberals to "go home." Maybe you need to see understand the difference between an ally and a real enemy?

I have moved around the country since I was a kid. One reoccurring conversation I have over heard in every place is the conversation about housing prices and grievances with the new comers. I have overhead this from people in some of the most Podunk places you will ever find, as if they were in threat of being overwhelmed. The majority of Generation X cannot afford to buy a house practically anywhere in the country. Largely because we were targeted by predatory lenders who were supposed to be our elders.

I don't want to give Oregon a bad rap. There are a lot of salt of the Earth people here who I completely respect. I have a tremendous amount of respect for them, but I have to draw the line with this 60's new age kookery. I’m not talking about Civil Rights and protests led by dignified people wearing suits publicly addressing their grievances with the government I am talking about pointless narcissistic rebellion. It is simply impractical, and I expect better from modern thinking humans. I also see it as a zealous demonstration of arrogant spirituality on par with bible thumping and praying in public like Tim Tebow. It is an exhibition. Fine I could care less, but leave my political party affiliation out of your religion Fair Priestesses of Oakgrove Druid Circles and Voodoo Magic of the Sacred Moon Cult of Hippy Dippy PDX. I am really irritated I have to be associated with people who cast spells on the behalf of all Democrats on a national level. Keep your religion out of my politics. Period. I don’t care who you subscribe to. Keep it out.

My family has been in the Democratic Party for over a hundred years. Loyal to the core. Everyone here has basically been voting Democrat since 1988. Now you think you are the absolute authorities on how the party should work, and how everyone should conduct themselves. You brag about your pristine wilderness but really Theodore Roosevelt did that for the entire country. Not just a bunch of bush whackers who just landed on the East Coast. I could really care less what PNWers think about my temporary residence.

Find me the Englishman who will invite me to leave and I will leave in 30 days. I never planned on staying anyway. I just wanted to see how you all do things and see if I could learn anything. Cities grow and change as soon as somebody turns on the first light.

West Coast pretentious arrogance. Tax contributions: Nike, Boeing, Amazon, get so much corporate welfare it isn’t even funny. You all complain about the South and its dirty past, but Nike is one of the biggest current slave driving sweatshops on the planet. Somehow you overlook that. I guess because if you’re Chinese and breath shoe glue for 15 hours a day 7 days a week in your workplace and company dorm room you don’t count -- because you don’t have a Roots movie to make people cry over. Turn off the faucet on the Colorado River and California’s Government iceberg lettuce contracts go right out the savings and loans scandal windows. Boeing would have folded if it weren’t for government contracts. Then you all turn on your heel and brag about how much taxes you are contributing. For right now. I have a good time laughing at the angry white girls who try to make my checkout at Powell's as unpleasant as possible. In my mind you are all really just a bunch of new age rednecks. All of you are such hypocrites with your list of words that are a no go, but you have a whole other list of words that are used with the intention of inflicting psychological pain on people that seem to be just fine with you. Calling people names of any kind is bad manners. That goes for all the “people of color” too. Dear White People? Dear Pain in the Ass Complainer, consider yourself ignored.

You have turned Feminism into a fanatical religion. I have tried to sit at the table for 20 some odd years now, and all I have ever got out of the deal is constant demoralizing and a never ending personal attack, insult after insult. I’m done talking. Old white grannies growling at me about white privilege? Don’t let me forget the Riot Girls. And you wonder about the rise and pace in militancy overall? Every time I get it I go home after mistreatment from the Priestesses I pour some bleach down the drain. Do you really think there is any insult I haven’t heard and I am going to roll up in a ball and start bawling. If that is the competition I pity you. Complaints about air-conditioning? No problem. Turn that off. It drives up the price of electricity. You dropped the ball big time and you have fumbled fumbled fumbled since November. You lost. And you lost big time for all of us. And here you are complaining about band names. BAND NAMES!

Go home? What? Your family skipped the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, and The Civil War with the exception of two regiments, they took an epic road trip, and got fat off of the supply line? Salmon practically falling from the sky, and it barely gets down below freezing with all the fresh water and timber one could ever ask for? The natives had so much free time on their hands because the living was so easy they had time to carve two story totems. All of their art either serves a practical purpose or it fits in the palm of their hands. I guess living in a harsh environment and on a diet of grasshoppers will do that. Now your kids run around claiming to be anarchists? That is rich, and cute, and nauseating at the same time.

Mahler Refugee? You are all lucky I went to art school rather than becoming a lifer in the military. I would’ve told those fat asses with AR 15s to get their fat asses out of the federal picnic land, or I would drop a 500lb bomb on it, and rebuild a new park building in a week. You got four hours bush whackin Cattle Rustlers. One low altitude fly over for a warning shot –- and then kaboom. Federal Land ain’t for Cattle Rustlers. My granddad had cattle too. Go buy some hay like everybody else. I have no tears for dudes with freezers full of steaks burning trees that ain’t theirs, and stealing land they didn’t pay for in any way shape or form. They act all independent and anarchistic-like when its convenient, but the second the Japanese start buzzing the coast OMG! HELP! FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE ROCKIES!

I’ve had it with West Coast arrogance out of soft trendy Democrats. What you expect from a perpetual costume party? Oh you’ve got some food carts. How multicultural of you. That’s the way you want to play touche, touche. I’m so sick of the looks in the bars and cafes from little snot nosed kids who just started drinking a few years ago. Like I ruined the party. I have seen it all before from other people. The West Coast is a joke. I’ll leave when I feel like it. I think I’ll go pour some bleach down the drain right now. My home is the United States. I’ll go wherever the fuck I feel like it. What are you going to do? Post mean comments online, or a snide remark, or a whiny look at the store? Ignore me? So what.

One rough first draft is all you get from me. People who defecate on their own streets and burn the flag don't deserve a 2nd draft. Hell, there are free open to the public bathrooms in this town, and I still see human stool on the ground.

You sound like someone who cusses at the people serving him food at the homeless shelter. If you had a point, no one gets it.

extrasalt, speak for yourself
