2023 Chicago Mayoral/Aldermanic Elections

[Orwell]

If Democrats want to be taken seriously in Chicago again, they should run an Obama for Mayor.

Neither Obama wants to run for office again

[Orwell]

I kinda hope Johnson wins so his resulting corruption arrest removes him from contention for any higher office.

[Orwell]

Brandon Johnson is going to be under indictment for corruption within 2 years of being in office

[Orwell]

Another drop of votes and Johnson went up another quarter of a percent.

Also, these GOP tears are SALTY... and tasty.   Glad y'all are claiming your mans though, we don't want him.

I am sad. I love Chicago. I was there last weekend. This sort’ve seems like a now or never point to save it but I guess the people of Chicago want to be Detroit.

Uh-huh, your 'privatize services/education, beef up militaristic police responses and ignore the housing and mental health crisis' solutions are hallow and the people of Chicago will hopefully, and so far thankfully have, seen better. Republican concern for urban issues is fake and always has been.

Schizo heroin addict: I'm a severely mentally ill drug addict. I think I'm going to try to stab some people today.
Incompetent teacher: Wow, Brandon Johnson just made my pension even more generous!
Schizo heroin addict: Amazing! My mental illness has been cured by this shameless looting of Chicago taxpayers.

Short-sighted and silly; I've worked in the mental health field for years and I've seen how severely underfunded and supported it is. Clearly when there is active violent intent law enforcement may be necessary but much of the time they aren't and then escalate the situation as we've seen over and over. You don't police your way out of homelessness or mental health issues, sorry.

Your fault for getting a degree in a useless field then
