You get what you vote for and you deserve to get it good and hard.

Here’s the problem with that statement; I watched as my cook county judges ballots in 2020 were quite literally spit out of the dominion voting machines after being inserted, they were next reinserted upside down. When I asked wtf this is about the trained helper responds “just an issue we’re having”. I didn’t think of it at the time, because she’s a poll worker and I actually believed her at 630am until I thought about the interaction 10 minutes later, the entire system is obviously 100% rigged here. They’ll go back and adjudicate all of the “wrong” votes they got and nothing ever changes.

They did vote for Brandon, though.

God Bless and Keep You and Yours! I left Chicago when I was 18 to go to TCU in Fort Worth. I've never regretted that decision.

Giving the north side a little taste of disinvestment.

Don't know that Western and Wabansia is Wicker Park or Logan Square. When I lived over there back in the 90s, it was still Humboldt Park. Things change, though - after I left, my sister was amused at how many of the new, "yuppie" residents would hang out and chat with the neighbors who were always outside, apparently not realizing that they were gang members and drug dealers.

It's the Bucktown neighborhood in the West Town Community Area. The west side of Western here is the Logan Square neighborhood, but still West Town Community Area. Wicker Park starts a few block south, south of North Ave, east of Western. The Humboldt Park neighborhood starts south of North and west of Western.

I lived in the 1500 block of N Campbell. *L* Crazy how things, even then, could be block by block as far as personality and all that.
