Preckwinkle aka Toni Taxwinkle is heterosexual but she supported rent control, reinstated the soda tax after repealing it (repealing it was a campaign platform), and is an established critter.
I actually had high hopes for Lightfoot but she has been a disappointment!
I moved away from Chicago shortly after the election so I didn’t make an effort to vote, but I also had hopes for Lightfood. Toni P was a machine candidate 100%, at least Lori was the disrupter.
She did fairly well up until the corona hit. I honestly think the only way to rule that city is with an iron fist, ala Rham and Daley. It’s like
Baghdad, there are SO MANY sects that absolutely hate one another, if you ever give into one all hell breaks lose. Those citizens and neighborhoods all want revenge on the city and one another all across the board.
It’s not a nice city, it’s not a good place to raise a family, and it never will be. The hatred within that city is decades old and will never go away.
I am trying not to be biased, but I live in CA and will tell you what I see about, " . . . where the Hell the mayors of our major cities come from." I feel they are chosen by their party, and wait. My rep's district was STOLEN, in 2018. The one that replaced her came from out of state a few years ago, became a prof at a local state university. (IDK if she was brought in and given a job to wait till needed later, or if they look around to see who is radical enough to be promised a seat, come here and be given a job, and willing to run for office when the time comes. I'd say she was imported). Came campaigned as a dem, total unknown, and won against the repub incumbent, the year they got the vote harvesting all perfected. The Dem took that seat, in a total repub, NEVER before had a dem ever won the seat, district, and she is up for re-elect this time against a guy who is and would have been a PERFECT patriot candidate for this area ... any time prior to now. In the primaries in March, she was also "winning" again 100,000 to his 37,000 votes. Psy ops, IMHO, so people give up and vote for her again as it looks like she will be clear winner anyway, or maybe all flipped votes and just flagrant cheating? Who knows? You CANNOT TELL with the new mail in ballot system they just installed. So again, they cheated, rigged before electronic cheating was possible, any way they could they cheat - and now perfected the system with mail-in voting, and will "win" every election now.
Your comment kind of reminded me, and I was going to say, "And look what Hillary did," . . . but then I got to thinking . . . and I don't even want to think about the extreme that they allegedly went to ... how all that went down, for her to "win" her seat in Congress. Ya know?
I am fascinated by where the Hell the mayors of our major cities come from.
The list of Dem mayors is a who’s who of the biggest political loser-douchebags imaginable.
De Blasio won in a landslide. Who was Lightfoot up against? An expired avocado?

It has some nice neighborhoods & it’s great if you’re single or married without kids.
Daley sold out the parking meter deals. The Daleys were not exactly fiscally responsible but I would pick a Daley over Lightfoot.
Question: How did Daleys & Rahm rule with an iron fist vs other politicians?

Read Atlas Shrugged man. We're living it.
I just started reading it the other day and the parallels to what’s happening in our country/world today are staggering.

Like my Senator Elizabeth Warren. Same thing.
