Spencer Pratt loses bid in Los Angeles mayoral contest

ratchetology.bsky.social49

he considers dems voting to be cheating

Ron James38

Take this a step further; it’s always strange to me that the most vocal anti-immigrant narrative comes from people who live in areas without many immigrants.

Pamela Brown29

Shocked that a party that is hostile to everyone but white straight Christians and is headed by a demented corrupt and incompetent pedophile does not get more votes in a city dominated by Democrats and inhabited by many people of color.

Susannah R26

These people have a FOX-Fed fantasy of California as a hellhole because they’re embarrassed that the blue states are footing their bills so they can elect worthless Republicans who rape kids to run their states into the ground. Red states and their beloved oligarchy are welfare queens.

sunsetcrest.bsky.social16

Of course he lost: there's tons more Dems than GOP there.

Voyager114

There's no way he could have won. Thankfully.

Gen X11

Spencer Pratt is an Aryan merkin.😆

𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓸𝓻𝓶 🌊9

I grew up in California, spent majority of my life there, I knew Spencer Pratt was going to lose and Next will be Hilton, California residents are not surrendering

Michael D9

Downtown LA is a hellhole….😂

Jules in SB8

In an 80% democrat County. Again people need to start using some common sense, I know it scarce these days but jfc

8647…Kym7

There are more democrats there than republicans.

socalcallie.bsky.social6

I’ve lived almost my entire life in So. California. I can say with complete certainty that our immigrant population has only improved our state. They are by far the most honest and hard working citizens in So.Cal. So unless you have lived here STFU.

Local Resister6

It amuses me that anyone would believe that the majority of voters in LA are GOP.

Lyin Tad6

California, it’s a hellhole, no one lives there anymore, it’s overcrowded, it’s so expensive, you can’t buy a house, everyone is homeless, no one even wants to move there, everyone is moving out of state. Cognitive dissonance.

Mike Pipper6

The one site, X: the everything app, told me he was going to win. How could they have done this

Burt R Ward6

"Godless hellhole?" I have visited LA a few times, and my grandfather lived there for decades. Tons of nice people of all sorts, regardless of neighborhood.

patpat38616

Hmm, LA is about 18% fascist, I mean Republican so I wonder if that has something to do with it...🤔

cestlafolie.bsky.social6

CA has a far more sophisticated vibe, population, economy than any other state.

Countess MWM PhD ♿️5

He doesn’t like brown people being citizens and voting. He lives in a racist bubble.

Jack5

"We're sorry, Mr. Trump, but you just didn't cheat enough. You seem to be losing your touch."

Sweetcakes5

He doesn't understand we Californians at all. I'm a lifelong Californian and I would never vote for any GOP candidate, especially any endorsed by Trump.

TakamineBill5

Are you referring to a certain convicted felon who is also an adjudicated rapist?

james f. bread 🍞⁴🏴4

It is a godless hellhole, but it's my godless hellhole, but it's most certainly not run by Communists. It probably wouldn't be less of a hellhole. More like a limbohole.

Dark blue state votes for, checks notes: democrats. Only a fucking moron would think we’re gonna elect a fascist clown.

bhaste.bsky.social4

Sorry Don. California has been a nice shade of blue for almost 40 years now. You are getting a taste of what's to come to the Grand Old Pedopublicans.

Screaming Pika4

Way back a long time ago my Wife & I watched the first season of survivor. We decided then & there never to watch “reality TV” again. But we had no idea at the time just how dangerous it was. Look where we are today. People actually think it is real life.

Pee Gee4

Same guy who refuses to visit LA bc he’s not welcome has an opinion on what LA life is like

flavianvespasian.bsky.social3

There is a direct correlation between the godless or basic decency. Give me the godless 7 days a week and twice on sunday.

betterangels716.bsky.social2

Exactly...do they even realize there is no logic or common sense in what they say!!!!

Valerie Stewart2

The guy has hardly spent time ANYWHERE besides New York and Florida as far as I can tell. He never went far from his servants and his drugs.

eilrach.bsky.social2

Can we please speed up to the chapter where they let us all fall into the ocean? We were added by legislation and can be removed the same way.

Reg Vickers2

No possible way the stupid republican could have lost in a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 4:1 Just impossible!

witness2it.bsky.social2

The woke liberal crazy communists in California didn't vote for a Reich winger? RIGGED!!! 😂

Carter2

Who would have thought that a republican wouldn't get many votes in a city that's only 18% republican? 🤷‍♂️

Doc Zombie - ANTIFA Psychiatry18

The issue is the wealthy not having to adhere to the law. Nothing happens to them so they are getting worse and worse.

Be_three16

I think we should require the wealthiest people to pay 90% tax. Those who score a B can pay 95%

Brian Schmidt14

They can invite him to move to Beverly Hills, become mayor, and then see how that works out if elected.

not Burt Reynolds12

or....just raise taxes on the wealthiest regardless of score...

Acid Rain10

we had kentuckians mad as fuck because they couldn't vote in the NY mayor election, if we don't get our national education rates back up were gonna end up worse than idiocracy predicted because eventually we will all just either stick forks in sockets or play with matches till the inevitable

∞6

So, is Bill Maher one of those apoplectic Beverly Hills residents?

pamnapo.bsky.social5

I think we should tax them.

Inguanzo5

The flaw with this is you’re assuming they’d take their own test. Their kids don’t, why would they.

Eric Dew4

Did they notice that Pratt’s name wasn’t on their ballot? They probably didn’t bother to vote.

diggersurvives.bsky.social4

Brilliant! & why didn’t Pratt run for mayor run for mayor in Beverly Hills? He could move his fake home there

bookworm4715.bsky.social3

It is possible to be both rich and stupid.

Anonymous R.Ph.3

Let him run for me or of Beverly Hills then. They won’t let him either.

auntieranty.bsky.social3

The whole county - city thing is hard.

2thess.bsky.social2

I really like your solution and … “they have their own mayor??“ Epic!!! 😆

Shining Kindness16

California continues to be solid blue and not changing anytime soon. Thank goodness! 😅

gcm5.bsky.social10

It tells us that Angelenos can see through the Republican bullshit and are not buying into it.

Steve10

I don’t live in LA, so this should not matter to me. However, I am so glad that a celebrity did not win. We need to get celebrities out of politics unless they start at a local level and work their way up, demonstrating a knowledge and commitment to the political structure.

nyc118.bsky.social9

I hope that also means people are tired of reality tv know-nothing buffoons.

The Subsequent Mrs. de Winter6

Angelenos can easily sniff out poseurs; Pratt might be popular with the Housewives of Whatever crowd but to normal people he's just a prat.

Aibo - Zonny3

🫀 Healthcare insurance was already unaffordable. We still paid it. Then it jumped because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill🇺🇸. -And here’s the part people need to remember: most of the bill’s pain doesn’t even hit until AFTER 2026 midterms. 🌊🌊🌊

CrazyCatsMom3

It is LA. It is where the liberal minds of America came to express themselves. Liberal = Democrat They won't go back.

Faerie-land3

Let L.A. just send that prick Pratt packing and move on.

Sal Santamaura2

"What Spencer Pratt's Defeat Tells Us About The American City" I'm more interested in what November's Bass-Raman general election results will tell us about that particular city.

An Average Joe2

Something of an aggravating read. Maybe Pratts apparent popularity was due to social media hype? Especially X? Yes, that was obvious to everyone - foreign bots and a very few "power" users amplified his support to a very small population. On the platform that is endorsing race war in Ireland.

Chaiah18

Raman was/is (?) on City Council. A mayor can only do what the council allows. So, what were Raman’s votes concerning the topics you/they mentioned? I, honestly, know zip about Raman but griping about Bass without addressing Raman’s voting record on council seems trollish.

Joey Scott14

I don’t think LA is a hell hole by the way.

Bette V. Collins 🇺🇸📎🧷V for Victory7

One reason I don't trust Bass www.politico.com/news/2020/08...

MM (Again)7

I mean, there's a half a billion dollars sitting there for the homeless that the city council hasn't allocated. Raman hasn't even staffed the council she founded.

Ronni Paer Weldon4

1/2 My take on the mayoral race is that Bass is comfortable working within a system where she thinks incremental change is a win, but it's not she and her family living on the streets. Raman has been saying since before she was elected to the LA City Council (while doing activist work...

MissShell9093

Because she was on various committees that was in charge of that sort of thing.

Rosecrucian Roeth3

If LA is a hellhole, and you're the current mayor..................Just wondering, that's all. 🤔

Jesse Coffey #BeGood #ICEOut #IStandWithPopeLeoXIV3

So she's already doing the Black Cuomo schtick (minus the sexual assault allegations). When Cuomo tried it on New York voters, they weren't having it. Doubtless that history will repeat itself in Los Angeles.

I am the Lord your Dog!3

Hopefully it will work as well for her as it did for the former NYC Mayor, the Democratic Party either needs to adopt Democratic Socialist ideals or be replaced by Democratic Socialist Party, I prefer the later.

Patricia Mitchell2

Karen Bass SOLD OUT the two OLD ELEPHANTS from the awful LAZoo to another, even worse zoo in TULSA, OK! She refused to help send them to a proper sanctuary...but instead facilitated them being put on a truck in the middle of the night to A HELLHOLE. Both are now ill.

Smilner, Renowned Actor21

Them going with "it's all rigged (and therefore, implicitly, California is secretly conservative)" in an audacious rebuke to Occam's razor

Zoe M11

They falsely believe that twitter's opinion represents public opinion. Same basic idea as every other 'everyone would agree with me if not for _the cheaters_' conservative dipsquat.

X&der6

you didn't mention that he's also unlikeable and portrayed an odious person on television (himself)

Jeff5

Based on what we’ve seen in recent years, I wouldn’t be surprised if some MAGA commentators dismissed the chart or attacked the source rather than engage with what the numbers show.

jerbrad28824

...while a Republican wins the second runoff spot in the gubernatorial race over the prog-backed billionaire -- both outcomes made possible because of DeJoy/Trump-sabotaged USPS.

web_rant2

In a city and state where voters are registered as just 25% Republican.

𝓣 𝓦 𝓙2

We've elected 1 republican to the mayors office in the last 60 years. Absolute hubris to think the crystal man was going to pull century historical numbers.

Mike of the North5

Jeff...please keep those"Daily Claudias" coming. They are great!! Makes me realize I need to take more pics of my wife and family.

deedle419.bsky.social4

Well, I instinctively know that something rigged and diabolical happened when Trump claims to have been shot! He then ran around for a week and a half with a Maxi pad taped to his ear. When he removed it there was no sign of a wound

House of B!4

But an incredibly unpopular president winning all the swing states is perfectly normal.

Christian Petersen3

Do they really not understand how many millions of people despise them?

Arch-Michael3

The photographer had to go prone to get that picture of Bovino.

Hillary Hillarious3

If Holy Mike has such good "instincts" then why did he need to install Covenant Eyes on his and his son's computer and phone to monitor porn usage. You'd think he would instinctively know if his son was diabolically watching fapping videos.

Richard2

Right… On a near-daily basis, little Mikey says “I don’t know anything about that” in response to a wide variety of questions. But in THIS case, despite a complete absence of evidence, he claims to know that the State of California is rigging elections for the Democrats. …

Dr. John Francis2

Being educated about politics and the ability to sniff out bullshit is now considered "diabolical" by the GOP

David Schaub🇺🇲🇺🇦2

Imagine the GOP field in 2028, assuming there's an election: Bovino Tucker Candice Hegseth MTG RFK Jr. Vance Rubio Comedy gold.
