the results are in for the Sweden election. The “far right” party won. This reflexive editorializing label is obligatory with the left-wing media. I find it tiring but they apparently do not.
Edit. The left-wing media are spinning furiously. Even in Sweden they are running against President Trump. Put Sweden first. LOL.
How far right are these far-right Democrats? They’re so far right, they want to limit the income tax rate to 90%. 
The Democrats have seemingly unlimited campaign funds but there must be a limit if they have to defend seats in the Democrat states

Crime and the homeless crisis are the current issues in Oregon. Even liberals have a limit when their neighborhoods and businesses get impacted.
I didn’t realize they admitted to being homeless-aphobes and racists. Well, except when proclaiming privileged white guilt. 
Biden cannot openly violate the wishes of his millions of open border proponents, or essentially admit Trump was right; not NOW. So we wait until after the election, with only preliminary and preparatory measures underway at this time:
And the money keeps coming in…
The Oregon race is really interesting. There are three candidates, two Democrats and the Republican, Christine Drazan. One of the Democrats, Betsy Johnson, is wealthy and is self funding. The other Democrat, Tina Kotek, is a lesbian.
In the background, as mentioned by Harish, is a massive increase in crime especially in the Portland area.
The Republicans are also increasing their funding for Drazan.
If it were not for Newsom‘s presidential ambitions and his challenge of Ron DeSantis to debate, this would not have happened.
I have never heard the Republican, Brian Dahle, and do not know how effective a debater he is but I will be listening. It will be interesting to see whether the left-wing television networks carry the debate.
Edit.
The only one-on-one debate between Newsom and Republican John Cox in the 2018 general election took place inside a radio studio without any television news cameras in the middle of the day on Columbus Day, a federal holiday that California doesn’t recognize.
Candidate’s orientation isn’t an issue in Oregon. Current governor is bisexual; she was elected to Secretary of State many years ago, and then elected to governor.
From my perspective, crime and the never ending higher taxes to fund all sorts of non-working programs for the homeless (drug addicts and proud of it folks) are the real issues. Plus the problems are spilling into cities close to Portland. Can’t keep all that mess contained.
I guess the issue is: will Johnson be able to siphon enough votes from Kotek to swing it to Drazan? Or will she take votes from Drazan?
Italy is voting this weekend. As here in the USA, illegal immigration is a big issue there. The conservatives look like they might win.
The new Prime Minister if they win
Edit. The left-wing media are not amused. They are throwing “far right” around liberally. LOL.
Here is the way she describes her self. No wonder the leftists are going berserk
SCOTUS case on gerrymandering and whether state legislature vs state courts have the final say in setting their districts for federal elections.
Meloni wins in Italy! US Republicans are happy but the left is not amused.
Sen. Ted Cruz had one word — “spectacular” — for Giorgia Meloni’s victory speech
“So beautifully said. Congratulations to Giorgia Meloni and to the people of Italy,” Greene said on Twitter.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted that he and his Republican colleagues are ready to work with Meloni as she takes the helm of the Italian government.
“Congratulations to Giorgia Meloni and the winners of the Italian elections. We look forward to working with her and other Italian leaders to advance our shared interests. America is stronger when Italy is strong, sovereign, prosperous, and free,” he said.
The constitution is clear
Italy has had 70+ coalition govt in about the same # of years. They are fickle to say the least. will be interesting to see how long this will last…
I’ve been going to Italy since the 70’s. I don’t recall it ever being strong or prosperous. I’ll withhold comment on the other two descriptors.
Election poll bias article. Of course the bias leans left in recent decades.
But what if the problem is that Republican voters are the type of people that don’t talk to pollsters? And the few Republicans that do talk to them are unrepresentative of the party itself? If this were the case, then there would be no clear fix.
the problems with polling and reaching the low-trust Republican crowd appear to have gotten much worse since then, as has suppression towards politically incorrect views on LGBT issues. Every so often, the media announcesrecord support for gay marriage. It’s impossible to know how much of this is a legitimate shift in public opinion, and how much is due to the changing demographics of people who take polls.
A few days after a judge threw out the mask requirement on planes, a poll showed 56% of Americans supporting such a mandate and only 24% opposed. That’s pretty hard to reconcile with videos of passengers celebrating the end of the mask mandate, and the fact that almost everyone took theirs off as soon as they could. A survey just this month showed 60% of Americans saying they would wear a mask on a plane, and anyone who has flown recently knows that either people are lying or pollsters aren’t reaching a representative sample of the population.

“If we had spent less time empowering women, maybe we could have stopped this far, far-right, right-wing fascist, far-extremist far, far, Nazi right-extremist right-winger from getting elected.”
