    Default When Arguably the Most Crooked, Dem Political Machine in the US Can't Save You

    You're Lori Lightfoot. The first incumbent Dem mayor in 40 years to not even get past the party prelims. There has to be a special place in Suck-ville when even the whackjob, criminal Chicago political machine rejects your loser ass.

    No doubt lame-ass excuses to follow that will include everything except the fact she sucks.

    Getting rid of that loser is at least a step in the right direction.

    Bottoms in Atlanta didn't even try to run again after her awful term. Politicians and/or voters should realize when they're in over their heads and bow out.

    Stacy Abrams is probably a better comparison of knowing when to bow out

    I've also considered the fact that Lightfoot is STILL, current Mayor. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if she tried to somehow seize and prolong her tenure. Yes, I am aware it would be unconstitutional. When does that stop Dems?

    She blamed racism and sexism. Amazing she didn't blame homophobia.

    It'll be interesting to see who wins the runoff. I believe one candidate is endorsed by the cops and the other wants to defund the police.

    I hope Vallas comes out on top, but never do I underestimate the machine candidates. Even with that said, they all are better than Lightfoot.

    I was thrilled to see that Chicago dumped Lightfoot's incompetent ugly ass.

    That's about how I see it.

    Saw a blurb where some Chicago Republicans see this as a chance
