Good. Big government liberals disgust me, but the anarchists who enable riots are even worse.

Two incumbent Democrats on council suffered losses, too. Kinsey, a six-term district representative who was mayor at the end of 2013 after Foxx’s exit, lost to newcomer Larken Egleston while three-term at-large council member Claire Fallon finished sixth in a primary in which the top four vote-getters advance.

Democrat coalition fragmenting. Black trumps lesbian in Charlotte should be the headline.

It’s 80% Democrat. Don’t see any Republican winning.

Wait, let me try again.
Every Southern American city is black and Democrat.
Who decided that all American cities should be colored?

Wasn’t this defeated incumbent the one responsible for igniting Carolina’s bathroom kerkuffle ?

It’s natural. Blacks are socialists and socialists like cities.

Voter turnout was VERY low. I have a liberal friend in Charlotte and he has taken to his fainting couch over this loss.

Earlier in the campaign, Lyles and Ford discussed the possibility of one of them dropping out to avoid splitting the African-American vote against Roberts. And whites run around in circles about being 'racist' or a 'white supremicist'.
