Low crime Montana or Idaho or Maine or Vermont belongs to the same capitalist country as high crime Chicago or Baltimore or New Orleans or St. Louis. You need to look for another excuse.
Do you see the common factor here?
Psst, it has to do with demographics and not capitalism.
But the victims are concentrated in cities.
The demographics matter because capitalism exploits certain demographics more viciously.
What is going on in this country? This is horrible.
We were considering going to Chicago next year but will skip it.
I have friends in Florida who used to come here to Chicago several times a year and even thought about moving here soon. They no longer visit or talk about moving here! Good job Chicago voters!
The crazy part is that even after all the devastation Chicago has been through under Beetlejuice (Lightfoot), recent polls suggest she still leads in the polls over her Republican opponent.
Leftists are the true cultists.

Because you seemed to believe that it would be a simple Lightfoot vs Republican election.
It won't be ... and while she'd poll higher than any Republican, that's not the case when you pit her against another Dem.

Do you even know what capitalism is? Capitalism is strictly about private ownership and free enterprise as opposed to government ownership or collectivism.
In other words, you have more of a say in determining what you do and what you own. That is as impartial and color blind of a system as you can get. If certain demographics are exploited, then they are at their own fault. Blaming capitalism is like blaming the rules of a game when you lose.

No I don’t believe it is a Lightfoot vs Republican election. I am not even necessarily talking about the election. I am talking about how the Left can be so cultist to continue to support Lightfoot despite how bad of a job she has done.
Even if theoretically, her only opponent was a GOP, the dumb Chicago voters would still re-elect her simply because she is a Democrat.
Those are not clear videos and being at night, it is even harder to tell. Unless, it is confirmed, you are only guessing.
Uh, no I'm not only guessing. Like I explained, 1) I watched the video, and 2) I'm familiar with the typical demographic of the CTA's frontline workforce. I can assure you my "guess" if you want to call it that is far more grounded than the person claiming this is some sort of racial incident.
