This is my main gripe with the whole “Krasner sucks, no PPD sucks!” Arguments on this thread.

Shit is so broken. Mayor, PPD, FOP, DA, City Council, Harrisburg…everything.

There is no side anyone should be proud of supporting.

I do think you can argue that some are worse than others, and I’m not espousing some “both sides are equally at fault” but no one one’s hands are clean, and no one should feel proud.

It’s a fucking shit show.

I split my time between Philly and another city in another country, and I was watching a mayoral debate there recently, and it’s so weird to see a debate where, honestly, I’d be ok with any of the candidates, left, right, or center, because they all seem reasonable and competent, just with different priorities or philosophies for how to approach the city’s problems (eg, change regulations to make it easier for private companies to fix it versus raise taxes to fund a govt initiative to fix it).

It’s so fucking depressing to come back here where it’s just such a disgrace of incompetence all around with zero good options.
