This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The CTU is deplorable https://www.ctulocal1.org/posts/we-are-one-step-closer-after-primary-election-day-wins/

I guess "housing is a human right" is a non-socialist chant of moderate democrats who believe capitalism increases quality of life for all.

Finally, I don't care who wins.

You apparently have only ever lived here and do not realize how ridiculously peculiar the February and March elections for municipal leadership is.

NY, LA, Phoenix, Houston, etc. - all of these cities have their elections in November.

Why do you think Chicago has its elections in February and March? Why do you think there is never buzz about dem primaries here? Whom does low turn out favor?

SDG and the vast majority of CTU are socialists and they scheme to keep average people from being aware of when to vote. It's disenfranchisement by structure.
