Precision Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) In 4 years, Lori Lightfoot went from breakout political star to divisive mayor of a Chicago beset by pandemic and crime "Lightfoot was dealt a political embarrassment unlike any suffered by a sitting mayor seeking reelection since Jane Byrne — the first and only other female mayor of Chicago — lost the 1983 Democratic primary to Harold Washington." This is what happens when you vote and promote for race/gender/sexual orientation rather than ability. Lori Lightweight, Karine Jean Lollipop, not great looks for the Democrats.

Hopefully one of those two others have actual plans to change policies vs the status quo. especially around gangs and guns. But looking at their wiki pages. Vallas has a lot of baggage and is a hack for privatization. So Vallas will probably have the big money behind him. Johnson will probably have the teachers union..

Johsnon is a bit of a Suprise. has support on the streets and school union. wasnt expecting to see his name with this much support. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone with a bit of common sense will be elected because she has proven that when it comes to running a large city she may be better suited to be a plumber because S**T roles down hill & she's got a lot of it !! Her bias & ill guided decisions during her term is a big reason why she's not getting a second chance the people have spoken which gives some hope for Chicago & other big cities that have been run by wing nuts such as her . They need to put those in charge that are more equipped to do the job rather than those of a certain group that are looked at as being more forward thinking with less than a hint of common sense of how things should be run kind of the same thing we are finding out about those like pot hole pete & others chosen for their orientations rather than their qualifications . I think it can only get better from here because when the city gov't such as Chicago's is at the bottom it only has 1 way it can go & that's up . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Lightfoot was elected with more than 70% of the vote in the 2019 mayoral election runoff. She then spent four years alienating every constituency and complaining about literally everything. Her greatest accomplishment is leaving us with this quote: “My dick is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest dick in Chicago.” The election played out mostly as expected. Vallas picked up the conservative vote while Lightfoot, Johnson, and Chuy Garcia competed for the second runoff slot. Johnson had surged over the last couple of weeks and beat out Lori and Chuy. I would expect that Johnson is the favorite for the runoff (interestingly, both he and Vallas split the white vote so the runoff will be decided by turnout and who the Latino and black votes coalesce around), but Vallas has a good chance at the upset.
