Democratic Activists Push for the Polls in Third Chicago Women's March

Democratic allies gathered downtown Saturday for Chicago’s latest Women’s March, with organizers pushing for participants to help get out the vote ahead of next month’s midterm elections.

Organized as a nonprofit — and not specifically endorsing candidates — the group Women’s March Chicago is bankrolled by Democrats and Democratic supporters. Major donors include the Chicago Federation of Labor and Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker’s campaign.

Several thousand took part in Saturday’s march and rally, which was the third Women’s March through Chicago. It was a far cry from the roughly 250,000 who marched through the city shortly after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, and the estimated 300,000 participants in the second annual march in January.

The throng marched a half-mile west on Jackson to Federal Plaza, where participants were directed to early-voting sites.

At the polling place at 175 W. Washington St., Chicagoan Joann Williams said she already knew who she’d be voting for because there’d be a “D” next to their name.

The numbers dropped significantly, but the "Blue Wave" is coming nonetheless or so they keep telling us.

Is a fake "not for profit" a form of dark money laundering?

Specifically not endorsing candidates.

One can’t help but notice that the word of the day
for the media is “allies”, gay allies, womxm’s allies,
democrat allies.

Just coincidence???
I think not.

Uh oh, the Republicans won’t have a chance in Chicago now..HAHA

[smokingfrog]

It’s a non-profit, non-partisan group, donchaknow .. Wink Wink

[Huskrrrr]

“non-partisan group”

Candidates from either Party: Communist or Socialist parties are endorsed

Poll dancing in a Women’s March ?

[smokingfrog]

yup

[Governor Dinwiddie]

LOL. Delusional. Is Illinois in any danger of turning Republican? There are far too many fat cats, crooks, grifters, and gibs-me-dats who will vote in their own self-interest, much to the sorrow of the downstate serfs.

The trans-women ought to take the march over and demand free trans surgery.

[a fool in paradise]

Did they bring their marching asshats?

[a fool in paradise]

Democrat allies uber alles

The throng marched...

Whoops. Thought it said 'thong'. Almost lost ma beer there.

Would you really want to see any of these dumpy hairy armpit muscular crewcut feminists “pole dance” instead of “poll dance” though?

Didn’t think so.

Sorry if I disturbed anyone’s dreams later tonight.

[frank ballenger]

With Monica Lewinsky back in the news today that’s an understandable mistake.
