Could Bass give an effective talk in a black church (if invited)? I think he could. Be modest. Say he wants to work to fix these 4 or 5 things that affect everyone’s lives. Bass may be a fine person but has she helped us? He doesn’t need to win a majority over–but he could use https://t.co/x0902udqzP

Does Bass sound like someone who is going to solve the problem, or haplessly sustain it for 4 more years?

Gustavo Arellano’s right that Pratt needs to reach out to areas that aren’t inclined to vote for him instead of just stoking his base. But G.A.’s contempt for “Prattland” types who “didn’t have a fit about homelessness until encampments spread beyond Skid Row” is a stale
