Multnomah County does the policing for the city of Portland. The county contains Portland, a few small cities, and a fair chunk of forest land. 80% of the county's population is in Portland, and it is also the county seat, so it doesn't make much sense to have separate departments.
I live here. You are incorrect. The Portland Police bureau has 900 officers. The Multnomah County Sheriff is not usually involved within the city.
I think Aeon is still butthurt that no glorified universal healthcare system is on Biden's current agenda.
I found someone in Portland and in charge of police there to some degree who might be on Trump's side.

Yes, that's very likely the case, but when you're as far behind in the polls as is Trump, not losing any of your base ain't going to cut it as a winning strategy.
I stand corrected. But Trump said "Sheriff of Portland". So if the county sheriff and city police chief are separate people, he was making up a fake person.
Quite possibly, but I thought Biden's idea was to leave no one without some form of medical insurance, be it Medicare or their existing insurance, rather than to leave people without cover.
I think that would backfire badly for Biden. Trump would certainly use such a move as ammunition, accusing Joe of "running scared". No, Joe needs to stay the course, and maybe insist that the moderators have a means of muting the microphones.

Oh well, the Proud Boys had their moment but now that we know Trump doesn't even have a clue who they are, they'll sink back into the swamps they crawled out of and never be heard from again. Right?
My husband and I are covered by Medicare, being of that certain age. Recipients all get statements of bills paid when Medicare receives and pays a medical service provider. The raw reality for us, for Medicare, and for the providers is that Medicare does not pay what it is billed. For covered expenses, it pays what might be called the "reasonable and usual" amount for the covered service. In central coastal California, this can range from 80% to (more commonly) 10% of the amount billed. Medicare makes national assessments of provider costs and reasonable profits, makes (probably complex) adjustments, and then settles on the amount it will pay. The point I've been trying to make is that it pays less than the bill and pays differently in each area of the United States. This is how I hear "Medicare for all," and it means that the monopsony of Medicare will be extended to 100%, not merely the present elderly and other eligible citizens.
It's not, though, simply a question of medical care being free at the point of delivery to those in need, though obviously that's a vital part of it.
Maybe it's because the usual mainstream outlets aren't reporting it, but reputable pollsters have been showing for several weeks now that Biden DOES have a Latino voter problem. And so the "garbage web poll" while not scientific or with any kind of rigorous standard may not be so unreflective as you think.
That's incredibly condescending. There are a lot of people who, even under the ACA, functionally have no insurance because using it would be too expensive. Because simpletons keep soiling their underpants over "socialism" when nobody is asking for real socialism, we can't have smart policies that other advanced nations have.
