Illinois is winning so many that several companies have already changed their policy practices.

Unfortunately, I have never used Snapchat or TikTok so I will not get their money like I did with Facebook (and possibly, Google).

Went to a JB rally today. Not that I wasn't gonna vote for him anyway, but seeing him in person was pretty cool. Steve Stadelman, Eric Sorenson, Dave Vella, and Julana Stratton also spoke. The energy in the room was pretty high. I'm hopeful for the outcome in November.

I know the CHUDs love to rag on JB about his weight but in person he didn't look nearly as heavy as he does on TV. That old adage about the camera adding on pounds seems legit.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

The Republican PACs have ratcheted up their TV ads at least recently. Saw one during the brief time I watched the Bears preseason game. Not surprisingly, it was racist depicting a bunch of black criminals trying to scare white suburbia. Hopefully this poo poo doesn’t work, but I have low opinions if most people.

I’m waiting for someone to give JB the same treatment Trump got from Ben Garrison, drawing him like the Illinois version of Charles Atlas.

Recently through I saw nothing but wall to wall "Dems signed the inflation reduction act" after last week being nothing but "JB is robbing you at the pump!" ads by Dan Proft's 'play by the rules [so the black man loses] pac'

E: for content, I'm hearing the radio ads that are racist dog whistles on AM1000 in the suburbs. I don't know how well it'll work, but the 2020 Trump supporters in the NW suburbs don't have the same front yard support of GOP figures in this cycle.

Yeah our local republicans are still trying to pretend they're reasonable but every time they get asked a gimme question like 'who won the 2020 election' they have to show their whole rear end or alienate their base which alienates every non-crazy voter.

Has anyone heard of a publication called North Cook News? My Mom got it in the mail the other day in the suburbs. It's made to look like a real newspaper but reads like Stormfront. A lot of pro-Bailey stuff in it.

Guessing it's one of those fake newspapers made to look like an impartial source. Clever idea I guess but holy poo poo it is racist.

Bailey being a downstate Republican is likely softening his support in the burbs. The guy has no idea how to appeal to that crowd.

E: Duckworth is also running against a Republican who apparently has no money because I couldn’t even tell you their name. Last poll I could find had Prtizker up by like 26 points. Bailey is done unless Prtizker has a major fuckup.

I was curious since I had no idea either, which is odd, and apparently it’s Kathy Salvi. Her husband Al ran against Durbin way back in 96 and I went to high school with some of their children/nephews, one of whom is now an anchor for OAN or the other fascist one, so cool family

It's pro-labor.

It writes collective bargaining into the state constitution.

Never heard of it. I did receive South Cook News though. Reddit seems to think Dan Proft is behind it.

A major cardiac event seems more likely, though in comparison to the rest of the Crypt Keeper party he's a pretty spry 57. Let's hope Pritzker's one of the people who can eat cheeseburgers/smoke 2 packs a day until they're 80. Trump's managed to pull it off, he's more McDonalds now than man.

Far as I know JB has never smoked so he’s already ahead of the curve there.

Also I don't think I heard he eats like Trump in general, IE people having to resort to hiding vegetables in mashed potatoes/ketchup travesty or I'm pretty sure we would have heard about it by now, as people in Illinois are usually* pretty well versed from a culinary standpoint

And it's very nuetral compared to the MSM and even has some great endorsements!

Oh, I'm surprised. I keep getting youtube ads for it, and they were so vague that I assumed it was a scam. Since it was referencing nurses and how they needed more control over certain decisions in health care, I figured it was going to be some antivax thing.

They really need better ads.

Yeah that might be it. See if there is a bunch of mugshots inside.

The funniest part was on the back they have a "sports" section where they just list some high school football players and where they are going to college. Just trying to make it look like a legit paper.
