I am beginning to obsess about the Los Angeles mayor's race.
Not that I, in principle, care that much about Los Angeles. It was Ed's hometown, not mine. And given that it is in California, where degeneracy, fraud, and pooping in the street are considered by the political class a form of cultural enrichment, I just expect that elections are going to be won by sleazebags whose moral compass is provided by demons.
But this mayor's race is different. Los Angeles residents have had the dangers of incompetence, graft, and overregulation literally burned into their memories in the most unforgettable way, and Spencer Pratt is reminding the citizens that it doesn't have to be this way.

Decline is a choice. And the message is resonating.
Pratt has skyrocketed since his performance in the single debate in which he participated. His performance was so stellar that his two opponents have refused to debate him a second time.

He's already knocked the frontrunner out of the race. Her claim to that status was fairly brief, although her numbers were staggering, showing that support for Bass is about as deep as a puddle after one of those infrequent L.A. rain showers. Raman's status as a frontrunner was based solely on the fact that she was even farther left than literal communist Karen Bass.
All she did was speak publicly one time to go from 65% to 16% https://t.co/Kdmitt27T4

Which brings me to the question I started with: "Who thinks like this?"
Karen Bass: “How many people, who are unhoused, that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT TEETH! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”

Karen Bass, when discussing the plight of homeless meth addicts doesn't ask how to get them off drugs and off the streets, but rather how to provide them with replacement teeth so they can keep on doing meth, setting fires, and pooping in the streets as children walk by.
Who thinks like that? Why? Is that the first question you need to ask, or should you first address the fact that the homeless drug addicts are making parts of L.A. unlivable for people who pay the taxes to make fixing the teeth of homeless meth addicts even possible?
The LA County Federation of Labor has a new committee lined up to go after Spencer Pratt, and they are dropping an initial $221k on this video & an additional digital ad. pic.twitter.com/vJnHCDunPb

Spencer Pratt's response to the insanity hits home. He just dropped another AI ad that focuses your attention on the insanity, right after the Los Angeles unions dropped one saying everybody should be proud of Bass.
Karen Bass got FOMO. These AI attack ads are crazy desperate. pic.twitter.com/7nJrFISeQH

Instead of doing the Republican thing of laying out detailed policy proposals and taking veiled shots at the failure of Democratic Party policies, Pratt goes for the jugular.
He asks the simple question: Do you want to live in squalor? In Los Angeles, of all places, which has every natural advantage, and one big disadvantage: Democrats.
Bass is a Democratic Party politician from central casting. Her answer to arsonists who revere Luigi Mangione is to discuss climate change, and her response to allowing residents to rebuild their burnt-down houses is to pile regulations on top of regulations to ensure they cannot do so.

Bass' allies can't figure out how to fight back because Pratt's message is too powerful to ignore. Instead, you get insane attacks on the fan-made videos that mock the establishment. It's not the message, but the medium, because again, that is how Democrats think.
Spencer Pratt is running on trying to revitalize Hollywood yet he is relying on AI, what Hollywood is very against, for online campaign ads.

All you need to know about this charlatan. https://t.co/pI45nAA4j1
Bass' major problem is that Pratt exposes the insanity and corruption of the Democratic Party machine, and there is no way to deny the basic facts of his case.

BUSTED: Karen Bass caught paying street ops in black vehicles passing out needles and tourniquets to keep addicts high so her NGO friends can continue to profit off their misery and steal their Medicare $$. These people are sick. I’m ending this madness and imposing mandatory treatment. Enough death and misery.
Everybody knows it. It's just that ordinary citizens had lost hope that anything could be done about it.
Pratt's problem is similarly simple: the machine is nearly unstoppable. It is backed by massive numbers of government and NGO workers, billions of dollars, a system so easy to rig that you can see videos of government-funded NGOs paying homeless people to cheat, and it's considered normal and acceptable.

Where else but a deep Blue city could a manifestly dangerous and incompetent mayor get reelected after leaving the country while allowing her city to burn down? Accountability to citizens no longer exists in such places, which politically mirror the culture of the most corrupt cities in Africa and Latin America.
Vote for Spencer Pratt.

I was stabbed by a homeless person a couple years back in broad daylight not too far from https://t.co/i7zZ6ez4b1 arena in DTLA while I was walking to a photoshoot.
911 left me on hold. Had to uber myself to a hospital.
My stabber still walks free… https://t.co/tFCoamShkK
The L.A. government is essentially the biggest, baddest gang in Los Angeles. And Pratt is up against that machine, which is why Pratt is only given a one in three chance of pulling off the biggest upset since Trump's 2016 victory against Hillary Clinton.
I’m not worried. I have literally the best operators on earth looking out for me as we campaign. My goal is to make all Angelenos as safe as I feel with @bookprotectors. Nobody should have to worry about walking the streets of LA. Night or day. https://t.co/JHu8f2KdpF pic.twitter.com/PRwjCfmzQT

The fear that Pratt is in danger is, I hope, overblown. But then again, he is threatening the grift of some very powerful people, and President Trump can explain to you why that makes you a target.
