About Portland Mayoral candidate Sarah Iannarone's skirt

[Polybius]

A few days ago she was photographed wearing a skirt featuring Communists such as Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin. What was the purpose of doing this? Sarcasm that went over my head? Other reasons? She's up by 11 points in the polls, but I can't see this helping.

Note: I'm not attacking her in any way, just asking questions. I'll delete this OP if it offends anyone.

1. Who's the preacher dude with her....

He looks familiar, I think he's a comic, along the lines of Don Novello's Father Guido Sarducci.

8. That's Rev Billy (Church of Stop Shopping)

Performance art activist, I guess I'd call him. Has a whole choir and gets into all sorts of shenanigans.

Saw him at Zuccotti Park during Occupy!

9. That would be the Man...TY... n/t

2. It's Portland. She knows her possible constituents.

I just moved out of Portland and into Kelso WA. There are a lot of real people living in crime and poverty in East Portland and NO ONE is listening to those folks. I still love Portland but it's not the place Gen Xers built.

3. Seems like a bonehead idea, best not to try to get too deep

with one's apparel most of the time.

6. I normally don't comment on clothing, especially women's apparel

I don't care whether it's a long skirt, short skirt, tacky color, or anything like that, I don't say anything. A Communist skirt is where I draw the line.

4. A multitude of fashion crimes happening in that photo

10. Oh yeah

5. Doesn't seem like the smartest move. But maybe it plays in Portland.

If she wins, this photo will certainly come back if she runs for higher state or federal office.

7. Her campaign manager openly calls himself a communist

I left PDX, and I am not the only one.

[question everything]

11. Is she the ones claiming to be an antifa? Heard there was one candidate
