So dry and so savage.
I love that progressives ragged on Nutter for years. Now he's in a position of impact where he can effect THEIR mayoral run and he is utilizing it.
Basically saying, "Oh, you thought this was over. This shit ain't easy."
I don't think getting offended when someone asks you tough questions and then whining to the press about previous history is smart electoral strategy. I guess we'll find out.
Gym's attitude in those quotes and her going to the media to cry about it might have just cost her my vote.

I mean, it's just hyperbole. I'm over candidates who speak in hyperbole. What are you going to do? How are you going to do it?
You can hate Krasner as much as you want, but at least he says what he is going to do and how he is going to do it. Whether he's accomplished those goals or effecting positive change is a different discussion.

Defund the police and fund SEPTA bus drivers. They're the true heroes in this city. Busses are a delight to ride in this city and I'm bummed I didn't really start riding them until recently.

Luckily I get paid by my law firm to sit for a jury. But unfortunately, I get eliminated because I work in a law firm. Go figure.

That "Systems of oppression fall" line is the most self-agrandizing BS I've heard come out a politician in a while.
I don't discredit people's experiences but acting like you're the only person just in this race who has had to deal with systems of oppression is laughable. She just comes across as a progressive who has had a lot of smoke blown up her bum.
Nutter was one of the better mayor's this city has seen in a while. Gym was constantly on his ass for not being progressive enough. I'm pretty liberal, but this city needs a fucking technocrat that gets the streets paved, the trash picked up, and cameras on street corners. Not someone virtue signalling by changing the pronouns used by the City Council.
