Whether you like or voted for Trump, matters not. Massive turnouts win elections. When I say a massive turnout, it means get off your lazy arse and get out and vote!

I donated to Spencer’s campaign and I’m up here in Santa Barbara.

Also, I have my ballot ready to drop today including Steve Hilton for Governor. Let’s fix California ❤️‍🩹!

In 2022, 80% of the vote was by way of mail-in ballots. If Bass cheats again this year, this will be the avenue. She is not going to drag in deceased voters or a zillion illegal aliens to vote in person. So it has to be anticipated there will be a huge bump in the number of mail-in ballots this year. The only way to counter this will be for every eligible voter to show up in person and vote for Pratt. In 2022, less than 50% of eligible voters actually voted. This year, it has to be 90%. So that's the task - SHOW UP AND VOTE.

I hope Prattman wins and can assemble a strong team who also believe LA is worth saving.

I’m dubious about citizen action ever having much of an effect on urban problems. And one well-meaning leader is nice, but the Beasts do have the ability of retreating to their Caves, and waiting it all out. I live in a small city in PA, my home town, that I came back to when I retired. A former coal-mining town is a state of semi-dormancy, not rich, not poor. Today the place is being invaded by developers building million square-foot shell buildings (oh you don’t really need all those trees) destined for . . . whatever goes into such places. Mainly 40-foot trailers by the dozen. How did it happen? Politics should be much more clearly in the hands of the People in a place the size of the Athenian Polis. But no. Stuff just happens. Nothing we can do about that. But vote for me next time. “Everything seems to be out of control somehow” (as the old song had it). And that’s why I would be totally dubious that some Savior Figure could ever make a difference in giga-places like LA, or NYC (where I worked my working life.) Sad.

I am also skeptical. Imagine the breadth and depth of the viper pit in a place like LA, and how tenaciously the monsters are dug in.

This feels like our last chance at saving LA...

I believe the Prattman can win and is the “man if the hour!”

Bass, a vile human, did cheat to win the last election and will repeat in June.

Massive turnout and vigilant citizens can prevent a fraudulent win.

Apathy is not an option!

Somehow Spencer has to overcome the votes of about 15 million who speak a language other than English at home. They come from socialist countries and vote for Bass et al.

If there's not voter ID, the election's basically fixed. I'd be surprised if LA mayors won an elections for decades now. I'm not sure how any of it is even legal.

Why don’t normal people just show up at multiple polling places and sign in as anyone who hasn’t signed in yet, then vote several times

I am praying for you people in LA that Spencer gets in and can overcome the Commie cheating machine.

I live in NY and I wish we had someone like Pratt running for office in our city. Instead we got an Islamic-Commie-DemonRat- Stalinist Mayor who is personally on a jihad against the billionaires who are actually keeping Nueva York in business.

The most important thing that Pratt has going for him are his INCREDIBLE campaign ads- the best that were ever made in my estimation. Every one of them is a masterpiece, especially the one from Latinos for Pratt that is an instant classic.

Good luck to all of you in the Golden state- may the Pratt Force be with you.

Brigitte's avatar

I think his ads are incredible because he dearly loves his city and just wants it to be wonderful again, and you can really feel it

Hope he wins. But I'm in Ohio. So if he doesn't, I couldn't care less.

Because here in America, voters get what they deserve.
