Dear Abby,
Need some advice. Do I punish my kid who told his teacher “the Cubs suck” when he walked into class on jersey day & saw her in a Kris Bryant Jersey? (He was in a Lindor jersey).
Signed,
Secretly Proud in LA
@ClueHeywood@USAmbUN@POTUS We're like 2 days from Trump claiming the Strait was never truly open before and now it's gonna be open like nobody's ever seen before thanks to him.
@crankyrigger@mtaibbi WTF? You get a blank ballot that you insert into a machine, you vote on the screen w/side privacy curtains, you double check on-screen, your ballot is printed, you check it again, reinsert it and check one more time. then it's submitted. It's completely private you chode
@mtaibbi Nobody in LA has these dumbass conspiracies. It's just out of towners and out of staters with no understanding of this city. Why does bumblecrap Iowa care that we hate Spencer Pratt?
@mtaibbi DSA people voting at the last minute. They're anti-institutional, younger, with stricter work schedules. It's basic personality + pragmatism. (I live in LA)
@FiddleElphier@janecoaston People just underestimated Raman. Hell, she's my council member and I underestimated her. But she won the basically all of the younger progressives, who basically voted at the last minute, by mail, and weren't polled well.
And prolly Miller took some of his protest votes, too.
@FiddleElphier@janecoaston What are you arguing? That we don't like Pratt, that some of us liked Trump better? Trump would be lucky to get 12% in LA today. We decided we didn't want another bankrupt reality star w/no relevant experience, and the reality of how awful the next 5 months would be otherwise
@FiddleElphier@janecoaston He's gonna wind up getting what he was polling at. Which is gonna get him 3rd place. Yeah, he woulda done better in BH or Lancaster. So he should run for mayor in one of those places next time. Here, he's third place.
@roddreher Right wingers' vibes are off so the largest state in the union and the 2nd largest city in the country have to change a system that prioritizes accuracy over speed.
@BretWeinstein I live in LA. There is a homeless tiny house encampment a half of mile from me. There were no DSA staffers hanging out and helping homeless people fill out ballots!
@BretWeinstein The sheer insanity of the idea that any single group of people could organize 50 thousand homeless people in a city of 3 million that is as large as most counties to then all vote the same way on the same day is just phenomenally laughable.
@sithkhan@politicalmath@Rjaellis Occam's effing Razor. LA is a progressive city and progressives procrastinated but eventually voted for Raman by mail. Thats it.
Take the L.
@sithkhan@politicalmath@Rjaellis Hey, reading comprehension teacher here! Let me help you: "Registering to vote" isn't the same as "voting". The article was about somebody getting names to get something on the ballot. I'm talking about actually VOTING.
