I truly just don't understand this attitude. Pratt is hardly even conservative. More like a concerned citizen pointing out the obvious... and they just ridicule him? Why?
@myopia_dystopia No, I think what worked on Repubs is simply talking about common sense middle of the road issues, and he was the only one doing it. And when the local govt is so poor it is very easy to overlook potential candidate flaws.
@MAPTA01 Of course. Definitely agree. I just don't totally get why that justifies the amount of hate he receives from people like Jimmy Kimmel. I also wonder if even the next moderate will have the balls to get involved in CA elections the next time around.
@dearmurray So he did a reality show a while back, his house got burned down, and he jumped into a mayoral race after witnessing poor governance firsthand. You don't like his views or his past I assume, but why does that warrant the hate you're showing him?
@myopia_dystopia Pratt? I assume contributed thousands in tax dollars that got funneled into the bureaucratic abyss that enabled homelessness and drug addiction without actually solving anything.
@MAPTA01 Sure. I get that. But when the backdrop is LA governance, the poster child for terrible governance, this feels insignificant. I guess the argument would be if you think Pratt is/was operating in good faith. I think he was.
@TheUSFWizard But I don't think you can do that. I'm not sure you have a position at all, really on any topic, aside from being contrarian and antagonistic.
@TheUSFWizard See the thing is, everything you start on this website is a snide comment and "I don't want to argue," but I think the onus is on you to explain your position and why you support that position so wholeheartedly that you can't "interact" with people.
Meet Dejontay Wings, who was arrested by Baton Rouge Police in Louisiana after he allegedly broke into an oil change business and stole $200 from the safe.
Candidates concede after their team informs them, after considering all factors (including late and mail-in voting), that there is no mathematical path to success. Concession happens when this is a certainty.
On election night, no-name, no support Nithya Raman sobbed & conceded the race
She apologized to her family for failing
This made sense. She polled in the single digits & bombed in the debate. Now a historically insurmountable 3rd place
This was before โthe machineโ took over
