Cool

So what does that mean for Chicago? Stop the hate.

Why being black women is any kind of qualification?

Jews choice like Obama

Disgusting that their only qualifications are being black...and woman

So, it’s all about race. Got it. smh

What are they waiting on!

So long as she’s NOT a graduate from the Kim Foxx School of Chicago-style Cronyism!

Hopefully she’s a republican. It’s been a while. At some point with things being so corrupt there you think they’d listen to Trump when he says “what the hell do you have to lose!”

Both candidates define themselves as 'progressives', which means we should expect Chicago to continue streaking towards bankruptcy.

Maybe she will be more understanding to people like jussie smollet

Does she have, like, positions or policies or a name? Or are Democrat politicians so interchangeable in that respect that it doesn't matter?

Good luck with that

City newspapers ought write down the top 15 items that Chicago needs to address, then issue annual unbiased reports on progress to its citizens. They deserve to know is real progress being made, or will it be more of the same. Grand promises, more debt, and more problems.

and we all know what happens next, every single problem the city has been plagued with the past 50 years will be her fault

Chicago is fucked. Doubt all the Avengers together could turn it around. Let it sink.

What could go wrong?

So what? Identity politics has completely taken over from merit.

haha, Prinkwinkle is old school Chicago politician. Loves them cookie jars!

Well.... Surely beats Chicago has not elected a Republican mayor since 1927....

Just what Chicago needs? Ms Preckwinkle is buddies with Foxx, Kamala Harris and Michelle O'bama. What does that tell you? They are the crew that got Jussie Smollett free!

Newsflash, the color of skin or one’s sex will not help the city of Chicago. They’ve had nothing but loser Democrats going decades back. Who has the best platform? Policies? Strength and common sense?

Good riddance to armchair Emmanuel! The hill he chose to die on was about JussieSmollett and not the orange fuckmuppet in the White House. ByeFelicia

And why not? The men have done an absolutely deplorable job in Chicago.

Who cares about her sex and color. Is she crooked and on the take?

Go Chicago! Progress is good for a healthy nation!

Is she the best qualified?

On other words Chicago is full of stupid people.
