Why can't they protest Chick Fil A or something? What did Popeyes ever do?

Yeah, I know they're mad Popeyes is unhealthy and a big franchise, but I don't really get this fight.

Serve sinfully good fried chicken. I get that more people need healthy options, but barring fried foods by decree doesn't seem like a good idea.

Floy has argued that Popeyes would not [be] in harmony with our village, and instead suggested she be allowed to buy the property and rent it to Gabi Walker-Aguilar, owner of 4Suns Juice Bar, who plans to open a food market she says would offer healthier options than Popeyes.

I live just north of Evanston, and the general takeaway is that she's a terminally online know-it-all that really doesn't have much in terms of brains between her ears or ability in actually campaigning. Mayor Biss is the heavy frontrunner to win that nomination.

Also, that part of Evanston has shitloads of fast food restaurants already, so it wouldn't remotely be out of place there.

Tbh I feel like this maybe explains why they don't want one more

Not that I agree though

An area needing more options is a valid opinion, but decrying a fast food chain being out of place in an area with multiple fast food chains is pretty fucking stupid on that protestor's part.

They're protesting for a white owned more expensive specialty shop over a minority-owned more affordable option.

And Evanston has loads of local restaurants, nobody's being shut out here by approving a Popeye's nor is the city starved for choices.

In terms or price range, it's almost equivalent to three of these.

I'd punch this old lady in the face for the hell of it, though if someone gave me a biscuit after, I would be grateful like a proper gentleman should be.

What are the odds this is absolutely loaded with sugar, and is barely healthier than fried chicken, if it even is at all?

Biss

The funniest thing is following this campaign and it's like

Kat: WHOOO check out my memes, come help paint my office! I just did Le Epic Dunk online Lmfao!

Biss: Here I am alongside this beloved community figure who's endorsing me at another big event, fighting for everyone in my district! Here's another picture of me greeting everyone I meet at a community event or parade!

Biss is gaining on her with fundraising and he's not treating educated professionals outside the district as an ATM. Maybe it was a shitty idea of her to decide to run in a district she doesn't even live in when she clearly did zero research on the actual incumbent and the makeup of said district.

Her instagram page is assuredly worth more than Bisss, but barring a huge scandal hes really going to mop the floor with her in the primary. Biss is a serious player with deep roots in the area, someone as wholly unserious as her doesnt have a chance even in a left-leaning district like this.

there's literally nothing stopping the juice bar owner from building their own building or renting a space

whats more wild is she said she wanted to buy the building and rent it out to the juice bar friend

her people claim to hate landlords, and yet are cheering for her to become one?

I guess a less horrible form of 'fight fire with fire'. About time the left has started employing cute faces to market themselves. (rather than those bleach-blonde talking heads the right adores)

This is why I think this was so poorly done. I think she thought Jan Schakowsky was some doddering old centrist and didn't realize she's basically a vital left voice and one of the most beloved congresspeople in Illinois.

That and I found it gauche how she was sending mailers with "We thank Schakowsky for her amazing service" to voters while posting on social media gloating how she forced Schakowsky out of the race

Its kinda refreshing the people who were mindlessly backing her a few months ago have been very quiet when shes increasingly terrible at campaigning and her past Hamas sympathizing came up.
