I just donated to @spencerpratt for Los Angeles Mayor.
I moved from Northern California to Los Angeles in 2013 for college. Over the years, I have been blessed to lived in numerous parts of LA, from Westchester to Downtown LA to East Hollywood. When I started distance running around LA (Koreatown and Hollywood primarily), I witnessed first-hand the disrepair the city had fallen into. Homeless, and sometimes dangerous, drug addicts and tents on nearly every street I ran on.
Since I started running in 2017, it has only become worse. I realized things were truly wrong when my friend was victim of an attempted carjacking at "gunpoint" (the perps used a blacked out airsoft gun) in his own gated condominium parking garage in Koreatown. Luckily he's a BADASS and fought them off in hand-to-hand combat, but imagine if there were your wife, mom, or your grandparents. And another person around the same time told me about how he and his girlfriend were stopped at gunpoint on Melrose for their valuables. Again, imagine if that confrontation had taken a turn for the worse. That said, my lived experience tells me that Los Angeles is in a bad place.
So, last night, I watched Spencer Pratt debate two incumbent, career politicians.
He was a breath of fresh air and inspired me.
Public safety and common sense were consistent themes whenever he spoke. And he provided detailed solutions that shows that he isn't an ideologue full of platitudes, but that he is an Angeleno on the ground listening to everyday people and their concerns.
And just as important as the issues, was how I felt INSPIRED! Seeing a man who lost it all in the LA's Palisades fire deciding to not pack up and move to Nashville or Austin and instead go ALL IN on fighting for Los Angeles. That's bravery. That's someone I will go to bat for.
It's clear to me that our city is at a crossroads and we have the opportunity to embark in a bold, new direction. We have the trappings to build the GREATEST CITY in the world and I believe it's possible. Mayor Pratt is that bold, new direction that will lead us to build the next incredible chapter in the story of Los Angeles.
With all that said, if you haven't made up your mind or are considering whether to vote, this is your sign. VOTE SPENCER PRATT FOR MAYOR.
You need to be teaching your children to be proud to be American
You must never allow anyone to tell them they should apologize for being American
From Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and beyond
America is the land of adventurers, explorers, and heroes
@E_Barcohana@Cernovich How can you not be white pilled after last night?
Republican movement in California has come a long way and we are going to get upset wins in November.
@MysteryGrove@TheRoyalSerf Get out the vote efforts are going to be crucial for November. Not many Angelenos ended up casting a vote for mayor.
Pratt can win this thing.
Christian you are being way too negative!
Voter ID + banning the wealth tax + 2/3rds requirements for municipalities to add taxes are propositions on the ballot this year.
We are getting some wins this year, whether it’s elected officials and/or props.
Also we can probably paper over the irresponsibility of our gvmt for at least several more years thanks to the AI boom and companies going public (biggest wealth creation event in our lifetimes).
If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.
@Justin_G0rd0n Justin, I’m not liberal but I’m enjoying your posts. Thanks for helping pull your party towards the center.
Make Los Angeles sane again. Fight on!
