I will be voting this November

I voted in the primary but this will be my first general election since I wasn't old enough to vote in 2016. My state is divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans, but 10 out of our 13 congressmen are Republicans because they drew the district boundaries to ensure that. There is currently a court case which could change this.

I don't care what party you are but the system should be fair and not give either side an advantage.

You better believe I'll be voting.

If you want a less polarized politics and are tired of extremes then vote because I'm a far leftist and believe me I have much more motivation to vote than fucking centerist and moderates.

see you at the polls bitches. =)

@DesertGhost it won't matter. Oregon will always be a hole in your fight against open borders. We love our immigrants and will always be a sanctuary state.

@DesertGhost you don't pay taxes to feed illegal immigrants.

You only think you do. It's not true. They pay taxes. and because they work for a living they stimulate demand for goods and services.

Why do most people believe the delusion that Illegal immigrants get government benefits?

I was born in Oregon and like it or not technically even though I try to identify as cascadian I'm legally speaking an american too and That's why I can collect benefits.

You people blame illegals for making your taxes go up but the reality is your Payroll tax supports me and I'm white as fuck.

You're paying to Feed me, Not Illegals Regardless of what you believe.

illegals feed themselves. They do work us white people are too lazy to do. like landscaping or picking the crops. they keep food cheap.

You wouldn't know a Communist if you tripped over one. Jesus was a Socialist.@DesertGhost
@DesertGhost WHAT AMERICAN JOBS? Seriously. Do you have any evidence to support that belief?

Because from what I can see the illegal mexicans are taking jobs in landscaping and picking crops that White people don't want. Cheap labor keeps Food prices low.

illegals from south of the border aren't taking jobs in manufacturing or construction.

You don't know what you're talking about.

My dad worked in IT and they started trying to pay him to train his replacement and teach indians how to work on the mainframe.

To really free lance and put himself out there as knowing what he was doing to employers who might be looking one way of getting attention was helping people on computer forums but the indians were poorly trained and pretty much expected them to write the code for them.

The reason it took so long between jobs was that many of the jobs went to China and India.

they weren't taken by people who have come into the country illegally.

Those coders still live and work in china and india.

and there's no stopping what happened to my dads job because it was the internet which basically killed it.

Yes. One who lives in a multi racial, multi cultural tolerant society where we have a few problems, but don't deal with them by building a wall and keeping others "in their place". Your country is founded on migrants. Now it has other internal problems and your politicians point at the migrants taking a few jobs you don't want in a time when your Unemployment is actually TOO low and tell you to "look over there" and the stupid and ignorant do it. Go watch Penn and Teller.. They will explain it all to you..@DesertGhost
@whowasthatmaskedman Yep illegals are being scapegoated by politicians who are essentially appealing to phony populism against the Globalist because much of the country blames illegals for "TAKING OUR JORBS"

and shilling against illegal immigration is a great way to get stupid gullible voters (who don't bother to read or even do any research to find most of the jobs were lost to robots for instance) to vote for you.
