There's a comment upstream that says "this person's opinions are similar to those of Fox News and the NY Post, so it should be ignored". That doesn't bode well

There's a comment upstream that says "this person's opinions are similar to those of Fox News and the NY Post, so it should be ignored". That doesn't bode well for the actual people who have to live in Chicago.
- one_level_deep 3y agoOr maybe we can see through the national news' political agenda and sensationalism. The people who actually live in Chicago just elected a progressive mayor who ran against a "tough-on-crime" candidate. Maybe those people (the ones living in the city) see things differently than you (someone not living in the city).
- Izkata 3y agoThe vote was 49% to 51% when he conceded, and he really shouldn't have - the uncounted mail-in ballots were 3x the gap in the counted votes. Also that race was far far closer than normal with tough-on-crime-vs-progressive usually is around here. Sentiment here is definitely shifting in favor of tough-on-crime.
