Reply to comment by FMG1978 in Fifth graders from Kensington grilled nine mayoral candidates. This is what they asked of them. by [deleted]
This is EXACTLY why I hated working on Rebuild "community outreach"
Politicians overpromising "you'll get a new library and a new rec center!" when the reality was "new carpet and less asbestos"

When it comes to positions like mayor or PotUS there's not really an option.
Who's gonna get the votes? Candidate A who says "I will do what I can to work with City Council, municipal agencies, and the State, but I can't promise anything, since the Mayor's office has limited powers to..." or Candidate B who says "Mexico will pay for the whole thing!"
Candidate A doesn't even get trotted out
