    Oh, the mayoral election in LA. The republicans nominee came in third and won’t be moving on. It will be two democrats battling it out.

      Outrageous! As a liberal from LA who is also the leader of antifa and worked under Bernie and AOC i am sickened. I don’t see why it would matter. Unless the Gop is running a progressive, and even then it would be iffy, I don’t think they’d win in LA anyway.

      Also of note, the results came out a week after the primary so Republicans are on their “stop the steal”, “stolen election” sore loser bullshit again

      Isn’t that not even uncommon for Cali? Anyways def a fake text, no reason to be “livid” and that’s a republican-coded word anyways

        Usually the Republicans consolidate their candidates before the California primary so they get one in the runoff. It’s a sadly consistent 30ish percent.

          Interesting. But they always lose to the establishment dem anyways, and in this election they’ll just vote for them over the progressive, so nothing’s likely to be different…

      As a very real Republican, I’m perfectly fine with this. I can see how I must now pick my least not-favorite liberal in order to protect this democracy that I constantly claim to support. I believe laws apply equally.

      As if it would be any sort of contest to have a Dem vs GOP race in LA. This way the general election might not be a foregone conclusion.
