I'm trying to get all my friends to vote, go in early, or helping them get absentee ballots.
For instance, I forced my BF to get a mail-in ballot last night and I'll sit there and watch him fill it out and mail it in  |
Same here, I'm forcing everyone that I can to get off their asses and actually vote and to vote for Rahm. We literally can't afford the alternative.

Correction, Rahm has a plurality, not a majority. He is going to have to turn that plurality into a majority in order to win.

Reform politician in name only. Everything Chuy is proposing is a direct attack on changes, i.e. reforms, that Rahm has made. Chuy's entire platform seems to be to revert to a city government as it was on Day 1 of Rahm's first term. That is the opposite of reform, he wants to undo the unpopular but effective reforms Emmanuel has put in place. I'm surprised he isn't proposing giving Burke his security detail back as well.
