What is everyone doing who wants to not vote for Biden? I saw some Muslim organizations saying to just not vote at all in the race, although I don't know if that helps. Saw some saying to write-in Gaza but I don't know how good our write-in stuff is.

There's literally zero reason to vote for Biden in November if you're on the left and live in Illinois. There's no argument for it, and plenty of argument to vote in any other way.

That's what I had done, but it's sort of pointless. We won't get a count of "gaza" ballots and nobody will ever know except you and me.

I have zero faith that Chuy would’ve been some big improvement over Brandon. He ran the most half-assed campaign. Why does anyone think he was going to try that hard at being mayor?

My theories appall you, my heresies outrage you, I never answer letters, and you don't like my tie.
If Chuy wanted to be mayor, he could have, he had a massive lead and pissed it all away by barely campaigning, and the little he did was pretty poor!

I don't think Chuy would have pissed JB off so much that he'd unilaterally yank $80 million in annual revenue from the city.

Mayor Johnson backs out of commitment to $250M joint city, county, state migrant care package

abc7 posted:

The warmer temperatures and sunny skies have been providing a welcome respite for migrants hanging out outside a shelter in Pilsen. But the future may not look so sunny after Johnson backed out of a commitment with the county and state for the city to contribute $71 million to care for migrants through the end of the year.

Gov. Pritzker Seeking to Eliminate State Grocery Tax, But Some Municipalities Could Push Back


WTTW posted:

Illinois shoppers would save a dollar when they buy $100 worth of groceries under Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s proposal to eliminate a state sales tax on groceries.

Chicago stands to lose considerably more — as much as $80 million per year — according to the Illinois Municipal League.

...

Although the grocery sales tax is a creature of state law, the money collected from grocery receipts within a jurisdiction is transferred to local governments.

Id love to live in a hypothetical scenario where the guy who sucked rear end at running to be mayor sucked less at being mayor but here we are! Maybe if chuy had I dunno, actually declared early and acted like he wanted the job at any point he could have won like everyone who watched the mayor's race has consistently said. Oh well, I guess we're stuck in this universe where he ran a lovely campaign and failed to get any big backers on board early leaving them to declare for a rival out of frustration at the delays.

Like seriously that race was his to lose and everyone pretty much said so. He lost it because he hosed up.

Look, some people take a little too long to announce their candidacy. Other people take a little too long to respond to measles outbreaks at migrant shelters. I think one is worse than the other, but keep doing you.

here's the thing, based on everything you've said and done I don't like you as a person because you've been charging in to every discussion talking about how BOY HOWDY BET YOU JOHNSON SUPPORTERS FEEL BAD NOW GUESS YOU SHOULD HAVE VOTED CHUY to which everyone responds Yes, johnson sucks, no one is defending him, also Chuy ran a lovely campaign and that's why he didn't win. but you also seem like a human being, so I'm not going to say that you're in favor of kids getting measles.

It's actually my fault guys, I placed 100 thousand votes in the primary to elect Brandon over Chuy and I even knew at the time that there would be a migrant crisis and a measles outbreak that he would handle poorly, please don't blame Benagin or Bird in a Blender

(Incidentally while double checking the primary numbers I realized Chuy couldn't even beat loving Lori lmfao. Well gee at least he narrowly edged out Willie Wilson. "Get wrecked" indeed)

Someone introduced a bill to prohibit schools from having Native American mascots and team name. This has naturally caused a bunch of communities with schools that have Native American names and mascots (but without a large Native American population) to get very upset while talking about how the government is taking away their “history and traditions”.

Saying Chuy poo poo the bed and should have run a better campaign is not in any way "defending" Brandon Johnson no matter how you twist the logic
