Joe Biden is an excellent example of what happens when people vote Democrat

I thought this was going to be about Mayor Tiffany Henyard?
I hope Attorney General Gaetz' Justice Dept is up for the task because there's a WHOLE BUNCH of crooked officials he needs to pay visits to.
And, yeah, Brandon Johnson is another one as well.

It’s interesting. Last year, 2023, both Chicago and L.A. had mayoral races... in which standard-issue, left-leaning, black machine politician faced off against a centrist white person running on a reformist, tough-on-crime agenda. And in both cities, voters rejected reform, essentially saying, “No thanks. More of the same please.” It was certainly hard for me to wrap my head around that that at time, thinking, “Who looks around Chicago or L.A. and is happy with the status quo and votes for it again?”
What a difference a year makes. This time is was San Francisco with standard-issue, left-leaning, black machine politician facing off against a centrist white person running on a reformist, tough-on-crime agenda. And guess what? Opposite out this time. And leftist D.A. George Gascon was booted from L.A. for good measure. The tide has turned.
