The Democrats running for office in California are certainly showing us something — how not to behave if you want to get elected and make anyone think you care about what the voters think.
In the governor's race this week, for example, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra threw a snit fit over the nature of an interview.

Then there was Katie Porter going after her Democrat opponents, even accusing one of them of leaking a video against her.

Then there's the Los Angeles mayor's race that's heating up, with Spencer Pratt striking a chord with the voters by just talking common sense. The Democrats just wilted in response in the first debate last week.
As my colleague Bob Hoge explained, he "creamed his two leftist opponents. Wiped the floor with them, actually."
While they both whined for more state and federal dollars so they can keep spending our money for ever more failure, he kept relentlessly pounding home the theme that simply doubling down on the old ways of doing things is just a recipe for more disaster — and the tired voters of the Golden State have seen enough of that.

As if to prove how out of touch the Democrats continue to be, here's what Fox reported Bass saying on Monday. This is next-level from Bass.
Karen Bass: “How many people, who are unhoused, that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT TEETH! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”

Boy, that's a platform. It obviously had a lot of jaws dropping. No wonder they need Spencer Pratt. How does someone say that and not get how it would go over with most of the public? People are already facing incredible taxes in California, and then you say that to them? And if someone is a meth head, the blockage to success might not just be teeth.
People couldn't believe it.

How about thinking about making Los Angeles more affordable and successful for the citizens? Democrats don't think that way, and that's why Pratt is doing so well.
