Over the last half century, the middle class in Chicago has disappeared. I’ve posted links to maps showing that. Nearly all of Chicago is either very poor or very rich.

If they use Dominion voting machines, then we know who will win.

"Not much to choose from."

Vallas is leading in the polls but is a POS himself although probably the best of the lot. The prick ended riflery competion in Chicago public schools after 70 successful years of operation. Willie Wilson is the most likeable and maybe okay.

“The election of a Chicago centrist”

That’s just to the left of Mao.

Chicago is well on its way to becoming another Detroit and Baltimore.

Paul Vallas actually straightend out Chicago Public Schools, left it with a $1B budget surplus which his successor, Arnie Duncan quickly squandered.

Arnie Duncan was then Obama’s Education Secretary and did to the schools nationwide,the damage he did to Chicago.

While I don’t believe Chicago can be “saved” the least bad candidate in this race happens to be Paul Vallas. That is NOT to be misconstrued as an endorsement of him, just an acknowledgement of the facts as I know them to be.

They are all Democrats so the outcome will not provide much difference.

That didn’t age well.

Not that I think Vallas can succeed in office, unless there is way more to him than meets the eye. Still, he might be able to slow the decline a bit. But, he’ll have his race working against him.

In NYC, Adams was the law & order candidate.

Wow, is that ever true. I guess Chicago wants a new face of corruption and incompetence.
