Let's Go Brandon! I'm tired of these Republicans cynically switching parties to attempt to sneak their conservative policies by the voters. We've tried this with Eric Adams in NYC and, lo and behold, the city isn't any better, it just has a complete clown at the helm.

I suppose you’ve never considered that maybe all Democrats are not as progressive as you. 36% of Chicago is not Republican. Chicago has been run by conservative Democrats for longer than it hasn’t.

I honestly don't even think this is a progressive vs. moderate thing. It would be one thing if Eric Adams had transformed NYC into the Garden of Eden or something. But he hasn't. There is no panacea to the issues large cities face in this day and age; all Vallas will be able to do is further harass the most vulnerable.
There is a panacea. Invest in affordable housing while bring back order in our streets and classrooms. More police and more teachers.

Those things should be done, but let's not pretend they constitute a panacea.
