Electing Rahm Emmanuel mayor of Chicago would actually be the best revenge we could get on him. |
|
Whoever wins that race will spend his or her entire term imposing massive cuts in the budget. You clearly can't do that and still do anything any Democrat would actually support.
So, let Rahm have the job.
In four years, everybody in Chicago will hate him as much as all progressives in the rest of the country do.

1. Not a terribly nice thing to wish upon Chicago, though. |

But still, being hated by his home town(as he will be if he carries out austerity budgets and uses the cops on protesters Daley-style, the way we can assume he will)might be the only thing that ever cracks his exoskeleton of arrogance.

2. I think he'd be a great mayor. I happen to have property there. |
|
I'd vote for him if my primary home of residence

3. We can assume he'd be a right-wing mayor in the Daley the First mode |
|
Anyone imposing austerity budgets has to be right-wing on everything else.

5. Speak for yourself. I live in the area, and I say fuck'm. |
