Los Angeles Mayor 2022: Bass vs Caruso

[Oryxslayer]

I guarantee the Bass talk is based off redistricting. There's a solid chance the shrinking AA population in S/SE LA get all put into one seat. So mayor of LA is the backup plan if it happens.

I'm not quite sure how doubling the council would go over with voters since that sort of thing can be a hard sell even in a liberal area. Of course it might be appeal to the San Fernando Valley which has often felt forgotten by the city as a whole.

Can easily pass is sold as a way to create more opportunities to service minority communities and provide adequate presentation.

Bass is the one who turned out to have tons of ties to Scientology, right?

Yeah she didn't stand up to scrutiny during the VP vetting, but she has enough of a local brand to make her a frontrunner, at least initially.

I guess this is the best place to post this:

So KDL had a bad day yesterday. He tried to silently come back to the council after his 2-month hiatus, but protesters and the new majority on the council immediately took action. Then a video showed up after the meeting where KDL got confronted by unfriendly faces when engaging in outreach in Lincoln Heights, and ended up in a fight with an organizer.

Why did Cenk Uyghur from TYT support Caruso? Has he appeared on the other side of the horseshoe.

Cenk thought Karen's messaging was too pro-establishment and status quo

What a weird take from Cenk, I thought he’d be all for Bass. Though looking at it Bass did get the support of basically all of the Establishment Dems in the race, but her opponent was basically a Republican.

Because for the dirtbag side of the progressive movement, the side comprised of people  who are just vindictive against whatever  mainstream movement(s) exist in the political scene - a side derided by radical movements for 250 years - care more about appearances and "vibes" rather than results. For example, it doesn't matter that the Paris Commune failed to win any wider support, is surrounded by armed forces, and is about to fall, we got to burn down the Hôtel de Ville, the Tuileries, and other symbols of the government.
