New Chicago Mayor: I have no idea what Ms. Lori Lightfoot stands for, what her platform is all about, or what policies she supports. All I know is that she is black and gay. This is what EVERY media corporation is focusing on and celebrating, not just CNN. Identity is everything. Did Ms. Lightfoot win BECAUSE she is black and gay? We'll never know. But we do know that she describes herself as "an out and proud black lesbian." That's great, but....is that all she stands for? Am I even allowed to ask?
Amazing to me how the MSM avoids focusing on what matters. Who cares who she sleeps with! What are her qualifications to do the job? Then again, Chicago has a well established and corrupt political machine, so maybe all that counts is her hue and sexual preference! The establishment will take care of the day-to-day. Sad.
I have nothing personal against homosexuals but I don' t like how militant they are.u
Don't forget all the hype about her being the "first" openly black gay female mayor. After all, we can't talk about it without also emphasizing how oppressive the system is without stringing out a mile long litany of adjectives, just so we can also include someone is the "first" at something.
That's part of their victimhood strategy: appeal to pity by citing "intersectional oppression" until everyone else feels guilty enough to put the so-called "victim" in a position of power. Victimhood is a tool, a ladder, to the top.
I don't know about you, but I refuse to do my own homework until THEY do theirs!
Black, Female, Lesbian, Chicago politician - c'mon give it your best guess. What "policies" could the planks on her political platform possibly be? Is your question rhetorical sarcasm? Because the political, economic, social philosophies that inform her couldn't be more obvious to me.
By virtue of my identity as a Chicagoan, I deny your request to ask what Lori Lightfoot stands for.
Uhh... I think being black and gay is her platform.
At least she should be able to keep her campaign promises since they're pretty simple.
Lori Lightfoot promises to stay black and to stay gay.
Man, you don't see integrity like that any more.
It's a possibility she won because of those two things (black and gay).
