Boston has a city council election today. It's a "preliminary" election, which is like a non-partisan primary, for a bunch of at-large seats. It's easy to find out which candidates approve of bike lanes and which want them ripped out. It's not that much harder to find out which one supports Trump. It's remarkably hard to figure out how any of them regard ICE or sanctuary-city policies. I did find a candidate who wants the city to clear snow and ice from old people's sidewalks as a safety measure, but Vicki is sure that's not a figure of speech.

Boston really needed non-partisan primaries for many years because so few Bostonians would admit to being Republicans.

and now we have Kraft, who says he's a Democrat but is very obviously lying. I've been watching his YouTube ads just to cost him money.
