It’s definitely true that neither Bass nor Raman will give the people what they want.

I get decidedly un-fascistic vibes from Pratt. He’s angry but happy angry. He’s not even very Trumpy. Raman seems a bit desperate to pull out this word now. You might as well call Reagan a fascist (I guess some did). https://t.co/VAaNYXDLq8

DEAL, SCHMEAL: I don’t understand why one option isn’t to cease the “kinetic” military operations in Iran–just walk away–without seeking any deals. Stop threatening imminent destruction if we don’t get the promises we want. Declare we’ve done X damage to their nuclear

1) Bass only 4 ahead of Pratt BEFORE Pratt’s big debate win? 2) Runoff polling methodology seems way too imputed for me, but you can see why Bass might want to run against Pratt–and Pratt against Raman. Maybe he should boost *her* among loyal Dems. If Bass has a ceiling who says https://t.co/qWKAIzP2qR

I know these unofficial pro-Spratt videos are controversial and turn some people off, but this one doesn’t bother me. In the right hands, AI makes it easy to vividly crystallize a message:

There was of course a crude (if subconscious) Marxist self-interest to this shift, as many young idealists discovered they could actually have careers at NGOs funded by the guilt-tripped, feted multimilionaires and billionaires. And they didn’t have to go to law school to do it. https://t.co/AsrTtIe19B

Hmm … Suspect this is @mattyglesias trolling. … If it was designed to boost Pratt why would they call him “Republican Spencer Pratt,” which is designed to hurt him (in Dem L.A.). ….[But if they actually want to boost Pratt, I say go ahead, make my day.] https://t.co/cedjogOpFd

True, if real-life Bluesky voted against woke prosecutor G. Gascon and hated Dem mayor Karen Bass (and may will vote for @SpencerPratt). Nobody likes crime, filth, entire towns burning down. The affluent are insulated but, it turns out, not completely.
