You have absolutely no business telling anybody how they should or shouldn't vote.

Lol. Only in Chicago could someone get castigated for saying folks should research their candidates instead of mindlessly choosing everyone on one ticket.

Isn't that why our city has the problems it has? People not figuring out which politicians will actually work in their best interests?

Listen; you figure who works in your interest and I'll figure who works in mine. And I don't need some Jane Adams "we know what's best for them" lecture from you to do so.

People are entitled to vote for any reason, concern, fear or interest that drives them. There is no wrong way to vote.

I know how dare I suggest people should educate themselves and make an informed decision. I find it odd some people would actually prefer an uneducated electorate. No, I take that back...it makes perfect sense.

Just because people don't vote in a manner or fashion to your liking doesn't make them uneducated.
