Even liberals are getting tired of the soft on crime approach.

Of course she pulled the race card out when she lost! 🤣 Typical toad.

@EndLame
Absolutely, she said it was racism and sexism. Of course she was elected as a black woman, wasn't she?

Now she's claiming that she lost because of racism, etc.
Weren't all the other candidates black too?

You know what I think it is... Libs like to say what they really want the situation to be, whether it is or not. Feel good politics.

happy-happy joy-joy way of life.

woke liberals are incredibly ignorant. I guess she wants it both ways.. Libs are less intelligent than conservatives..

She was pugnacious and alienated all the allies she needed to pass legislation. Nothing to do with being Black or lesbian; she just doesn’t know how politics works. Thought she could just ram things down people’s throats. Sorta like Trumpty Dumpty.

What amazes me, moonbus, is that she is a former prosecutor yet she let crime flourish in her tenure. Go figure.,

Municipalities with high crime in recent years don't jump to correct the situation, but here, the people did. Quite surprising
