The ones I know did. I am independent and have been since 1972. I voted for Biden, also and would again tomorrow if it was election day. Except for the mess at the border by moving too fast and not sending enough back to wait for their case to be adjudicated yes/no and the fact that they are not tested for Covid at the border, I am relatively satisfied.
The Portland City Council in Oregon has a new plan to fight a rising tide of gun violence: deploying unarmed park rangers who are not sworn law enforcement officers in some of the city's most dangerous quarters.
The city moved forward with the plan on Wednesday, giving the rangers a $1.4 million boost to "provide a positive, unarmed community safety presence in Portland’s parks and surrounding neighborhoods." People in the program can enforce park ordinances, and "when voluntary compliance cannot be gained, exclusions or ejections may be used, as well as civil penalties in limited cases."
Costing the city nearly $6 million, the plan does not allocate anything to bolster the Portland Police Bureau as the area has experienced roughly 250 shootings in 2021 so far, compared to 111 in the first few months of 2020. Instead, law enforcement officers have been directed to "realign internal resources to create six (6) additional assault investigative detectives and one (1) sergeant to coordinate on gun-related investigations."
"The devastating rise in gun violence in Portland and across the nation requires an urgent response and today the Portland City council took action," Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty wrote in a tweet. "This afternoon the City Council unanimously passed a comprehensive gun violence reduction proposal."

LOL, how'd ya like to have that job? Unarmed park rangers going into Portland's most dangerous places. Anybody here want to sign up for that?
What is your problem with me, honey? I stated my only real problem with Joe, is the handling of the border or do you just call all voters who voted for President Biden names to show you are totally polarized and never got over Joe beating the crap out of your boy at the polls, in the state legislatures, in the courts and in congress, legally and in public, while your boy failed to overthrow the election in all of the above, plus using mob action? Border is not the biggest political issue with me, but it is a blunder.
It is about belief. And most Trump voters will never believe he lost. There are consequences for demeaning and slandering people for the audacity of not voting Prog Socialist. The media and the entertainers and the Prog politicians are non stop. The result is we do not care what happens to you in your blue areas anymore. There won't be any galvanizing for wars and the such. The military will continue to weaken as the police and fire has in the civilian world.
Knock yourself out. I do not live in a blue area. There hasn't been a single violent protest in the whole state. KKK and Proud Boys were coming for a rally in in Murfreesboro after the violence and death in Richmond, but the state pointedly called it off and let them know they were not welcome, wanted and would not be tolerated, so they decided no to come.
