Hot take: Lori Lightfoot being a bad mayor does not erase Toni Preckwinkle’s clear associations with corruption.
They both suck. We don’t need to settle for Toni in the next election.
We need a better candidate.

I was strongly and openly anti-Preckwinkle in the last election and I was willing to give Lori a chance. Unfortunately, Lori has been a let down.
Next time we should all oppose both of them.

I can understand the feeling that Preckwinkle would have done a better job in 2020. I can even agree with it.
But at least with Lightfoot her failures are publicly visible. Toni’s would have been more of the same with corruption behind closed doors with people like Burke.

The next choice for mayor should not be between a cop and a criminal. It doesn’t have to be, so stop acting like those are our only options. Progressives need to be working on this NOW. If we wind up with those as our only option next time around it’s our fault.
