To view this development with optimism illustrates how low expectations are for our failing country.

Yep, it’s grasping at straws.

You see she was elected by like minded people that think like her, the voters in chicago got exactly what they deserve. They will get exactly what like minded people vote for. Vote for satan you get satan! How would I like to live in Chicago, not for ten million a year tax free. To some people money is not a god, other things are more important to a few!

Sorry, but I cannot buy into the optimism here ...

Do not underestimate the possibility of an unacknowledged DS political tactic, a relatively new trick in their bag of tricks: it's called a PLANNED LOSS ... They just had to get Lightfoot out of there because her numbers were so bad ... we just saw this happen in AZ with the 2020 loss of Adrian Fontes in the race for County Recorder, who was then installed as the AZ SEC of State ... our election system is rigged beyond YOUR wildest dreams ... the decisions about who wins and who loses are actually made so far above the level of elected politics that the average person could never believe it ... I lived and worked in downtown Chicago for 25 years ... I would literally walk to work ... I LOVE THE CITY and I LOVE THIS CITY ... Last time I was downtown was June 2019 ... I had a friend drop me off in Chinatown ... I then walked six blocks east to Michigan Avenue and then two miles north up to the river and I absolutely loved it ... I used to work until midnight and walk back to my hi-rise APT with no fear ... but I can't do that anymore, NFW ... and I do not believe the new mayor will be permitted to change things ... but don't write her off ... you can bet the ranch that Lori Lightfoot is still in their plans ... she's a "good man", an honorable man ... they're all good men, these honorable men ... they follow orders ...

San Fransicko is the same way. I refuse to go there, and I grew up in The City. It was safe and absolutely magnificent! It was full of the middle class, children, no homeless, little crime, clean, etc. It’s so sad to see what the Left has done to it. It’s Soddam and Gemorrah.

Out-of-towners probably don't know this ... but when Lori Lightfoot took office - in her first press conference on Sept 29, 2001, she said: "... I will only consider people for my staff who are willing to pledge their allegiance to the New World Order" ... that's a direct quote!

Thank you for your comments. It’s a “get real” assessment of what is going on. It may sound pessimistic but it is better to confront reality so we can take actions or be ready for what the DS & nefarious WEF/NWO psychos are cooking next for America, the West & the rest of the world.

In the NWO, they’d “off” her after they were done with her. That’s the way it works. I guess she didn’t get the memo.

"Soddam and Gemorrah" ... nailed it!

She will simply be replaced by another Marxist Demoncrat. How is this hopeful.

As V.I. Lenin said, "The worse, the better." As H.L. Mencken said, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Build a wall around every Democrat-run state and then make a documentary as a cautionary tale to the rest of America. Don't let the vermin take over your state!

Nothing will change. It will just be taken over by another lefty who will continue on with failed policies

Um...

It's a positive, perhaps, but this is a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

She's expendable, and so is Joe Biden. The Marxist left will roll on, just as they have for decades, until we have a full purge or a revolution.

America's cities look like 3rd world slums. Time is running out.....

It is good she is out but the sad thing is all the candidates were democrats and they all subscribe to similar policies....there will still be pain. There may be a slight improvement here and there but democrat run cities have bad policies and will continue to do the wrong things for the people of Chicago.

Chicago can survive if they require all public-aid recipients to also receive two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. A missed opportunity!

Ice cream.

we can only hope that with Beetlejuice being voted out the new blood will fix the unlawful city. Now I have to bring up UNTIL Kim Foxx Cook county AG is removed I do not see any real change in the city. Stay tune. I grew up near the city and I and everyone I take to refuse to go to Chicago for anything. Even people who have been called for jury duty refuse to go into the city. (Chicago is part of Cook county) I will not visit the area anymore.

She served her purpose.

Her comments over the pa at ohare are ridiculous. Is she in a damn bubble?! She talks about how her hometown, Chicago is one of the safest in the nation.

It’s unbelievable, all Dems tell lies and act like it’s the truth! Only people who are blinded by scales on their eyes or just sheer ignorance believe them. Just look at this fraudulent administration, everything they say is a lie!

Some number accept what the authority says. Say the lie enough and it becomes the perceived reality.

She'll soon get to test that after she loses her security.

Humpty Dumpty had a fall...a great fall. 👏👏🤮 From 73% to 17% speaks loudly of Chicago’s distaste of identity politics as an election tool. Her speech claiming racism and sexism was the reason for her loss when previously claiming her race and gender won is hilarious. Always the victim when a loss, but if a win then it’s praised. 🤦‍♀️

It’s a start, but Illinois is still stupid. They’ve already re-elected Prickster in November like idiots. Worst governor, ‘do as I say, not as I do’, ‘rules for thee and not for me’, kind of guy. Heavy handed lockdowns while his wife was traveling to Florida and Kenosha (to build another mansion). And all of his masking showed just how much he cares about his health. Morbidly obese and disgusting. Never met a tax he didn’t try to raise. He and Lightfoot are huge reasons why people are fleeing Illinois. I was one of them. Best choice ever to get the hell OUT!

Hilarious that she said homophobes, racist, etc, voted her out when the same people are the ones who elected her because they were afraid of being called homophobes, racist, etc!!
