    I wish i had better understanding of the CPS issues. I know It’s bad, but not exactly why or how. Or what the good solutions are. Even Brandon Johnson has talked about closing and consolidating some schools. Which to me sounds, counterintuitive in some ways :idk:

    yeah, I don’t know the ins and outs but I’ve seen the conditions of some of these schools and it’s awful. Closing those schools that would probably be a net positive, but they need to do something besides add more kids to teachers that are already teaching 50 kids at a time. For all of the good things here compared to the south, it still makes me feel very weird when I think about how the schools and the city in general are virtually segregated still. Even in the brightest red counties in west texas it’s not like that

    the DINOs hate it, but his plan seems to largely come down to giving the schools more money so that they can actually function. a public school model to provide free childcare for all is pretty awesome too.

    Can’t wait for the police to not do their jobs in protest and have Johnson get blamed for it

    My wife said people on FB are saying they are going to move out of Chicago because this is worse than Lori.

    So just another election day.

    Our friends to the north in Wisconsin got a big election win too. Liberal judge Janet Protasiewiczkz is projected to win for the supreme court.

    I love how empty the threats are. We've been hearing this shit our whole lives and no one does shit. "If x happens I'm moving to y". Bitch no you aren't.

    r/Chicago seems to be in a weird spot tonight. They probably should have limited posting to know posters of the subreddit. Lots of right wing anger happening there.

    Well, they're overfunded worthless pissbabies. And this election was between a cop and a guy who supports reallocating some of their obscene budget to people who will do their jobs.

    The reminder is more that old money democrats have zero clue how to run campaigns in the modern era. I got probably 50 texts (at least one a day) from the Johnson campaign and about zero from Vallas. The social media campaigns were similarly skewed to Johnson.
