Progressives don't know how to govern, says a progressive.
We were not ready, because we haven’t been in government long enough to know how government really runs.”

For once, a progressive gets it right. Block Club Chicago reports:
Progressives Were ‘Not Ready’ For Mayor’s Office, Ald. [Jeanette] Taylor Says: ‘We Look Real Stupid Right Now’
The South Side alderperson criticized her fellow progressives on a podcast and said they should have pursued a veto-proof City Council instead of pushing Brandon Johnson into the Mayor’s Office.
In an interview on “The Ben Joravsky Show”, she said”
We should not be on the fifth floor, and I’m speaking my whole heart,” Taylor said. “… We were not ready, because we haven’t been in government long enough to know how government really runs….
I felt like we not ready and it’s showing out in the wash. I don’t got to say it, people see it,” she told Joravsky. “We’re pretending like now we got the power, let us show you how it’s supposed to be done. And we look real stupid right now.
No kidding.
The same progressives who voted for Brandon Johnson instead of the vastly more qualified candidate, Paul Vallas, ought to rue the day.
