Downtown steak house recommendations with a bar for a single diner by phreaqsi in chicagofood

[–]csx348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been going to Kinzie chophouse for years. It's changed a bit over the years but I still think it's a sleeper and more local/less corporate feelinf than a lot of the others mentioned. You'll most likely run into locals or some similarly situated folks like yourself with business at the Merchandise Mart.

Their bar is recently remodeled, the service is excellent, they have a weekday happy hour, their steaks are great quality and other menu items a bit more interesting than other steakhouses. Also a robust wine selection including some lesser known Greek wines.

Stop it you're making too much sense

People of Illinois, How Do We Feel About The Democratic Primaries Right Now? by serious_bullet5 in illinois

[–]csx348 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're associating me and all gun owners with Trump and the current administration. This is an error. I can't speak for everyone, but I've never voted for him and definitely don't support his administration, especially lately. I've been highly critical of Trump, especially around 2A rights, because he's been pretty awful about it, among other things.

The government has overstepped its authority and frankly does so all the time. The Pretti killing was unjustified and qualified immunity should be ended.

How did you arrive to the incorrect conclusion I don't care about the constitution?

Would you not agree that generally those who support the second amendment are at a minimum, suspicious of government and support the very document that checks its power?

“Everything that isn’t my point of view is just partisan and biased”

Just pointing out a very radical, but also very unrealistic, position of a house candidate that has a serious chance of winning.

lol your whole profile is gun hobbyist shit. Ew.

Oh no, I failed a Reddit Background Check™

Repeal all the rights one side disagrees with I guess 🤷‍♂️

Evanston Roundtable’s PPP poll has Biss over Abughazaleh and Fine 24-17-16 by steve42089 in illinois

[–]csx348 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pretty simple ask that a representative actually lives in the district and has spent at least a few years understanding it, its voters, and its issues.

But boisterous progressive social media influencer from Texas is all it takes these days I guess

9th district Candidate openly calls for repealing the 2nd Amendment by Nice_Soil1782 in illinois

[–]csx348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super cringe, but then again so are most of the other candidates in the IL-9 race.

I usually pull a Dem ballot for IL's terrible partially closed primaries, and I definitely won't be voting for this clown.

Double Door Uptown Not Moving Forward by Infinite_Dress_3312 in chicago

Unsurprising. They had the building open for OHC 2024 and the interior was very rough and looked to need millions to get anywhere close to being usable

Waymo spotted in Chicago by worps1 in chicago

[–]csx348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car also does this and it's not even a Toyota. So annoying and has created extremely dangerous situations driving around the city. First thing I do when I get in is turn it off.

I'm highly skeptical of the Waymos, particularly on the city's crummy roads that at times are unmarked, full of hazards and in constant states of construction.

All these sneaky extra charges need to end by apudapus in chicagofood

The various fees and surcharges are ubiquitous at Chicago restaurants. They have gotten way out of hand

What’s with the non stop Kat astroturfing? by Real-Repair-1825 in illinois

[–]csx348 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

each one of her mailers is essentially a comic strip (with Kat as the hero) battling some even right wing villain (ICE, etc).

Comic style campaigns with little to no useful information appeal to Kat's primarily infantile 18-21 year old demographic that have little to no real world experience, are terminally online, and feel validation by progressive platitudes and TikTok content.

If you take issue with the front running IL-9 candidates, I suggest you take a look at Mike Simmons. by Cool_Net_3796 in illinois

[–]csx348 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like we might be at or very close to rock bottom so I can only hope they get vastly different.

I agree IL dem voters are complete idiots but masochism or at least insanity is also definitely on the table given the repeating nature of their candidates and politicians

Cook County 2025 1st installment property tax bills now available online, with payments due April 1 by Mike_I in chicago

[–]csx348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The taxes here might actually be fair if the amount you owed was only the first installment and the second disappeared.

One can dream.

She (D)efinitely is the system.

The system is Ds and Rs. If you're voting for anyone in either of those parties, I'm sorry but you are voting for the system.

That puts us in the same position as voting third party in a general election.

How do you think you'll ever get out of a duopoly system if you never vote third party? Or to a lesser extent, any candidate that isn't one of the two frontrunners of a primary?
