"Chicago-style politics" nghĩa là gì?


"Chicago-style politics" = chính trị kiểu Chicago -> câu dùng để chỉ các hoạt động chính trị mờ ám, bẩn thỉu hay thậm chí bất hợp pháp. Câu này có nguồn gốc từ thành phố Chicago ở Mỹ, nổi tiếng vì các hoạt động mafia, tội phạm, băng đảng.

Ví dụ
"If I had a record like his, I wouldn't want to run on it either," Lane said. "It's Chicago-style politics at its finest, and the citizens (công dân) of Danville are quite frankly (thẳng thắn) sick of it."

“Voters deserve (xứng đáng) to know the facts when making important decisions (quyết định) about who they can trust. Unfortunately, it seems that Chuy Garcia will bring back the old way of doing Chicago-style politics—and we can’t afford that in City Hall,” Cassidy was quoted as saying.

In a race for McHenry County Clerk, candidate, Janice Dalton, distributed (được phân bổ) flyers (tờ rơi) showing her opponent, Joseph Tirio, wearing a burglar (kẻ trộm) mask and gloves. The flyer stated that “crooked Joe Tirio” had a “secret taxpayer-funded slush fund” for personal vacations, and that “his Chicago-style politics were destroying the GOP with Chicago-style sleaze.” Tirio filed a defamation lawsuit against Dalton for that ad.
