Too dismissive about people in other wards (seriously?!? Her job is to represent her ward and their interests, not every ward of the city). F'ing exhausting. She's a female politician who's capable at doing her job. And as a reward she gets death threats and vague explanations of why a bunch of whiny dudes on the internet dislike her. Any of the "idiotic" examples have been shot down with the rational argument that Druh doesn't have veto powers on council. She didn't quarterback fluoride all by herself (which; the fluoride thing was a mistake for sure).
Who are the other longstanding aldermen and let's dissect their personality traits and question their general level of intelligence, as well as critiquing their actual ability to be an alderperson.

Being female doesn't mean critiques of her are unfair and rooted in sexism. Also there's an entire thread to dissect, and talk all about the transgressions of the worst Councillor around who happens to be male. Druh's not being singled out any more than her record merits. She's a polarizing personality and this thread highlights that as people either love her or hate her with little in between.
