Reply to sibling: lol, Lightfoot is not a progressive. Toni Preckwinkle was the progressive candidate. Anyone can claim the label, but if the teacher’s union hates you and you’re a former prosecutor, you might not be a progressive. I specifically did not say to vote more, but that an election is not enough. It takes constant public pressure, and of course good strategy to effect change. Even if Lightfoot really did want to reform the CPD, it’s too powerful to face without a collective effort focused on small, achievable policy to start. I respect the outsiders, but she was not very political. Maybe Johnson, as a former organizer, will do better.
