Will Johnson, of The Harris Poll: "In a poll of 1,021 Cook County residents conducted in late February, a little more than third of Chicago adults identified as liberal. While they vastly outnumber the 16 percent who say they’re conservative, moderates are far and away the biggest bloc, accounting for 48 percent of city residents. The breakdown has held pretty steady over the last decade, which suggests that Johnson’s victory was an anomaly and not a sign of a tectonic shift in the electorate."

The density of idiots on the city council reflects this, and of course Johnson. Unless people pay attention and vote, that’s how it’s been, how it is, how it will be.
This is by design. Elections are typically decided in a democrat primary in which almost nobody bothers to vote. They don’t want the masses voting, just the people they can bus to the booth or the army of union parasites that can take a few hours off work. My polling place was in the rec room of a public housing building and I’d walk the dogs by it every day and see virtually nobody on any day of the year.

Those very few who try to veer to the center are vilified. Remember a few years back, the good Rabbi Rabbi Yehiel Kalishfrom Skokie who voted ‘present’ on the far-reaching abortion up until birth abortion bill? Yeah, he in good conscience – as a religious Rabbi – voted present rather than yea for a bill that was already assured to pass. He was vilified for the vote and primaried out of office the very… Read more »
