Here are preliminary results for the nonbinding referendum on restarting a gunshot detection program in Chicago. The yes votes prevailed in 96% of reporting precincts, with particularly strong support in majority Black areas. We saw a similar pattern with the Council vote to end Shotspotter.

If you prefer skirts, fleece lined tights. They don't have to be fancy name brand, they're SO thick they won't rip like cheap nonlined tights might.
If you have thick calves and/or just hate tight socks, look for diabetic socks. They are nonbinding, so they stay up, but don't squeeze.

I also think people really really really really need to learn to let red state Dems vote with Rs on meaningless symbolic measures (nonbinding resolution to give a big thumbs up to law enforcement and a sad face at Mamdani) without crashing out.

Nonbinding referendums are approved in New York, Illinois and Wisconsin to urge altering the Volstead Act to permit light wine and beer, and in Nevada to repeal Prohibition. But anti-Prohibition measures fail in California and Missouri, and "dry" members of both parties still control Congress.
