For what its worth, which is not much, I am relatively excited about Johnson and happily voted for him. A lot of the economic ideas have just been that, ideas. He's already walked back or changed some proposals he's had due to conversations with the governor and people in the state house. Of course you could also say that its crazy there are real people who thought the Vallas/Rahm charter school scheme was a good idea
I should probably add here that I was stunned that they chose him over a Dem candidate who was supported by the police union in a city with such a high crime rate. It was reported that 800+ policemen were quitting due to his election. I do understand that he was supported by the school board though, so I may not know enough to weigh in too harshly, but some of his comments and stances bewilder me.
I don't think anyone disagrees on that. The Left has managed to keep the crazy on the margins for the most part. The Right has not. Extremism has gone mainstream on the right. It hasn't on the left. Glad we agree on this though.
I curious is AOC extreme too you? Or any of "the squad" .
Wanting free medicare and tuition for all != saying that muslims are taking over the US, Space Lasers, banning the gay pride flag at embassies, accused the entire democratic party of being the party of pedophilia (Just a few of the things MTG has spouted over the years.)
Yes, MTG is extreme. Now can you answer the question or just try to change the subject.
He isn't perfect but considering the other people who ran and who we have had at mayor ever since Harold Washington died it was a relatively easy choice
No. They are further to left of center than I am. But they are not some Dem equivalent of Grandma Boebert or butt ass ugly Caveman Taylor Greene, if that's what you're asking.
You may not agree with her politics but at least she's a force for good. The extremes, uh I mean, the mainstream nutbags on the right are not.
