Our politics have ALWAYS soiled our reputation. In the 1880s the head of the gambling syndicate was also head of the Cook County Democratic organization.
Politics started in the saloons here and was run out of them for close to 100 years. Power oscillated between the saloon keepers, brother owners, gamblers and criminal syndicates or various combinations thereof for the first century of the city’s existence.
The fundamental difference between the old RATs and the new RATs is that the former was not ideological at all but more concerned with securing the maximum amount of graft and boodle for the Party. They were no more Left than the standard American voter. The Ultra Left has taken charge now.
