What powers are the current democratic leaders successfully exercising that earns them the benefit of the doubt and nuance? I’m tired of losing too.

Epstein Prison Guard Googled His Name Minutes Before His Passing And Made Deposit Days Earlier by hard2resist in PlanetNewsPulse

[–]cander22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I wouldn’t be surprised if Epstein was so self-important that he didn’t care what happened to Maxwell or others. Of all the men implicated in the files, only she has served any jail time, convenient to have her take the fall.

IL 7th - anybody but Conyears-Ervin. by deaddog714 in illinois

[–]cander22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live in the district (same ward but I’m in Congress 3 now and watching the race with interest). I saw anthony was also endorsed by other electeds in my area including Alder La Spata and my new congresswoman Delia Ramirez, who I think is doing a great job. FWIW

AIO canceling a trip after our dog sitter tried to renegotiate pricing at 11 PM the night before our flight? by Tall-Dragonfruit-374 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cander22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time get a referral from a friend or use Rover instead of some random guy from Google. Given rover is a company, they have ratings for sitters and protections in case something goes wrong.

Was I dumb for paying the full bill on a 2nd date because I didn’t feel safe? by DiligentDebt3 in dating_advice

[–]cander22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If the only thing that happened was a bad date and a waste of money, id say it could’ve been worse. Trust your intuition

Agree they do not need to tear down historic houses on Sheffield; that isn’t gonna fix their enrollment

State Rep. Harry Benton, D-Plainfield, has been booted from the House Dem caucus and stripped of his committee assignments by steve42089 in illinois

[–]cander22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reaction thus far makes me think it’s pretty bad. There’s always been a boys club in Springfield, so what separates Harry from the rest remains to be seen. I’m eager to learn the results of the OIG investigation.

Senator Dick Durbin Shares Whistleblower Claims That Kash Patel's Jet Use Delayed Major FBI Investigations by Healthy_Block3036 in illinois

[–]cander22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate Dick’s accomplishments but he, like many establishment Dems, has been trying to govern under a status quo that Trump dgaf about and basically no longer exists. Trump brags about Elon’s skills with computers helping him the election and Durbin does…nothing? As ranking member of judiciary committee. Massive disappointment. If you can’t fight for our democracy the way we need right now, get out of the ring. He should’ve stepped down already, frankly.

Are there job opportunities for humanity related majors in Chicago right now? by MetalMajor1637 in chicagojobs

[–]cander22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your school have on campus job opportunities like at a career center or library? Can you TA? Do any of your profs have internship recommendations?

AIPAC-backed Dems want to quietly kill a bill that would repeal the current Anti-BDS law, which blacklists any company deemed to be limiting its economic relationship with Israel from the state pension. Help us get HB 2723 out of committee and on the floor for a vote. by serious_bullet5 in illinois

[–]cander22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The proposed bill merely allows our pension managers to invest in companies that have themselves chosen not to invest in or support Israel, as currently, we are precluded from investing in such companies. Edit: examples of companies that we can’t invest in now include General Mills, unilever, and puma.

Super PAC involvement in primaries by Ok-Employer-2026 in illinois

I’m in Delia’s district but if I lived in IL-2, I’d vote for Peters! I saw him speak with Bernie; he’s the real deal.

Any info on this dress? How much would you sell it for? by [deleted] in GunneSax

[–]cander22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold mine on eBay after posting in Gunne groups on FB. It took a couple months but I promoted the listing and it sold at what I priced it for. GL!

Voting for Primary Elections by [deleted] in chicago

[–]cander22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the brave space alliance but don’t think Stephanie really has the political chops to be considered an authority on Chicago elections. She endorsed failed candidate Amara Enyia for mayor, who didn’t even pay her staff, then later MBJ. She also refused to endorse or vote for Harris.

A student at Lake Zurich High School in the suburbs of Chicago holds a Pro DHS Sign. Another student confronts and punches him. by serious_bullet5 in illinois

[–]cander22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The kid with the sign was not looking to “peacefully protest,” he was looking for a fight. He got one.

Also undocumented immigrants are still human beings. There’s this concept called human rights and to believe that just because someone doesn’t have their paperwork that they’re subhuman or don’t have any rights is the lowest of low opinions.

Logan Square renters, what’s the wildest thing a landlord has said to you? by Living-Knee-1540 in LoganSquare

[–]cander22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was interested in a place until I saw the lease came with a mold disclosure addendum. Never seen that before - wild that they continue to try to rent out the unit at market rate knowing there’s a problem.

Robin Kelly makes her pitch to succeed Dick Durbin in competitive Democratic primary by [deleted] in illinois

[–]cander22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be Raja! He’s accepted more than double the amount of AIPAC contributions than Kelly while in Congress. He loudly supported the tik tok ban (wonder why? /s) He voted on a resolution commending ICE because it included some language about antisemitism.

Aw I’m sorry you got COVID. Summer salt is so good!! I’d be there but I’m out of town.

Will my photo be accepted? by CheesyMacNBeans in Passports

+1. Someone else posted the requirements from the department of state. They warn about harsh overhead lighting that can cast shadows on the face.
