lessons from the primaries and other ward happenings

Primaries are over. What we’ve learned from these primaries is that try as they might, the corporate establishment and donor class’ iron grip on our primaries and their efforts to consolidate control over every single seat in the state house, senate, comptroller, to say nothing of the congressional and US senate seats is actually… failing. The progressive coalition of Chicago is making steady gains, which is especially important in anticipation of the next year’s municipal elections, which will most likely be even more saturated with dark money and in-fighting.
