Oregon has a reputation as a progressive state. Democratic supermajorities control the legislature. We pass symbolic resolutions. We talk a good game about equity, climate action, and workers' rights. But the actual policy outcomes tell a different story. Progressive bills die in committee. Corporate tax breaks get protected. Housing remains unaffordable. Education funding lags. The gap between Oregon's reputation and reality keeps growing. Why? Because Oregon's Democratic establishment is funded by the same corporate interests that fund Republicans everywhere else. The money controls the votes. The machine protects itself. And working families lose.
