She’s a complete failure. Name one good thing she did.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Gonna be an interesting runoff.
Vallas has been a Chicago fixture forever. Former chair (president?) of the Chicago Public Schools. Johnson is a VERY progressive guy whose current status is Chairman of the Crook County Board.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson win, but Vallas would be the better mayor.

She could dance...sorta.

Lightfoot: : “I am a black woman — let’s not forget,” she told the outlet. “Certain folks, frankly, don’t support us in leadership roles."
She forgot to say that she's a black LESBIAN woman. I mean, c'mon Mayor, if you're going to play the victim, at least have the good sense to check ALL the boxes.
Is "certain people," a racist comment?

“A few months ago they said they didn’t know who I was. Well, if you didn’t know, now you know,” Johnson said. He thanked the unions that supported him and gave a special shout-out to his wife, telling the crowd, “Chicago, a Black woman will still be in charge.”
I wonder how many generations America will have to survive before this skin color fetish seems like a bizarre anachronism.
Education is extremely important.

Realistically the subcultures would have to completely merge/disappear. At least I believe that's what it would take.

And, I wonder how many generations America will have to survive before. . . everyone's skin color will be the same.
I remember as a kid hearing how the slow intermix of races would eventually lead to one brownish race, with watered-down features. And, we'd run out of oil by 2020. Or maybe it was that oil would end up being the same color by 2020 regardless of which race.
