Everyman L.A. Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is “controversial” according to the press. “Controversial” is a press code word for “Democrats don’t like him, but can’t give actual reasons why because they would sound stupid.”
Why don’t Democrats like Spencer Pratt? Because he’s standing up for normal things, and the political system in L.A., as dominated by Democrats and their satraps for decades, has made a point of not delivering those normal things.
Not all that long ago, really, every local politician would talk about potholes, garbage collection, crime control, clean sidewalks, and the like. Now it’s “controversial” — which means a threat to the power of the ruling machine — to even talk about those things.
That’s because those are things that voters want, that the machine doesn’t want to give them.
Why doesn’t the machine want to give voters these very basic, normal things?
