There's a big reason that Spencer Pratt is surging in the race for Los Angeles mayor.
Yes, he's making a lot of common-sense points. Ads supporting him are inspiring people, and many believe that he could bring a hopeful change to the city.
But another big reason is his opponents are just so awful, and Democrats have been so horrible for the city for so long. People are just tired of it.
We've seen the festival of fail that the present mayor, Karen Bass, is.

Then there's also city council member Nithya Raman running. She recently put her foot in her mouth big time with what she said during a podcast interview. She appeared very upset about a staged homeless encampment protest outside her ritzy home.

“I’m glad my kids didn’t have to see that,” Raman told comedian Adam Conover on his podcast released Wednesday before adding, “I thought this campaign was going to be about bike lanes and transportation.”
Raman was referring to a staged Memorial Day protest outside Raman’s Silver Lake-area home.
Footage from the stunt shows homeless people climbing out of tents, staging an open-air barbecue and one individual walking around carrying a bucket as neighbors recorded the scene.
Raman was then slammed for hypocrisy because she's opposed to expanding Los Angeles’ anti-camping law, which restricts such encampments near schools, daycare centers, parks, and libraries.
At a 2024 Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association debate, Raman reportedly said she didn't think a kid would be safer if the encampment were kept 500 feet from a school. She was also booed earlier this month when, in a debate, she reiterated her opposition to expanding the anti-camping law known as 41.18.
Funny how suddenly she cares when it's at her own home. And that wasn't even a "real" homeless situation, with the problematic issues that might entail.
Plus, what is she talking about, "bike lanes and management of the Department of Transportation"? Being the mayor of a major city like Los Angeles is far more than that. And this cluelessness is from a city council member; she should know better.
Thinking that the mayoral election for the city of Los Angeles would be about "bike lanes and transportation" is such a halfwit, moronic concept that I cannot believe this woman said that out loud. 🤦🏽♀️

No wonder she ended up with a tongue injury.

Spencer Pratt then reduced it to simple, using her 2024 comment, and showing exactly the problem with the leftist candidates.

And yes, she did roll her eyes. Unreal.
