(80,708 posts)The Democratic Party in Oregon is very popular, in part because here our state party has fully and enthusiastically embraced things like internet freedom, free speech/opposition to censorship, and marijuana legalization.
Beyond that, though, those are Walden's own constituents who are complaining in the town hall. I don't think DeFazio or Schrader's voters are all going to move out to John Day.
