Ethics Observations on the L.A. Mayoral Election

2. When it looked like Pratt would finish second in the primary, thus pitting him against Bass in the election, the Democrat vote harvesting operation went into high gear and over night the badly trailing Ramen got a huge influx of votes sufficient to pass Pratt, a phenomenon that statisticians have calculated was all but impossible. It didn’t help that Ramen conceded hours before her wave of sudden popularity, weeping like a little girl, which made the vote surge all the more suspicious. Again, ultimately it may be that the primary results themselves have less significance than the methods by which they were achieved, finally forcing the mainstream media to admit that something is rotten in sate of Wokeness. That realization would be worth giving Angelinos the Hobson’s Choice of Bass or Ramen, especially since I don’t live have to live there.

3. As many have pointed out, all of the factors that made it easy to rig the primary are legal in our most Democratic and dysfunctional state. Ballot harvesting is openly practiced. Everyone is sent a mail-in ballot, even aliens and dead people, whether the ballots are requested or not. Illegal aliens can get drivers licenses, which makes voting easy, and there is no meaningful voter ID. The ballot counting drags on for days, so there is plenty of time for vote manipulation.

One commentator writes, “[T]he country needs to stop treating elections in places like California as anything other than banana republic nonsense with no legitimacy outside its borders and no legitimacy within those borders either.” Yeah, and goodness needs to triumph over evil, and Truth, Justice and the American Way needs to prevail. The Democratic Party cheats, and too many ethically-stunted Americans are okay with that.

4. Oh: A series of videos surfaced showing homeless residents on Los Angeles’ “Skid Row” claiming they were paid to vote for Bass and Raman. (Of course, they could have been paid to say that, too. ) Records show 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers.The St. Joseph Center in Venice, a homeless services drop-in center, had 185 registered voters tied to its address. The organization received a $600,000 taxpayer-funded grant awarded by Raman while she chaired the City Council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee. Midnight Mission in Skid Row had 1,160 registrations while its website shows it only has beds for 84 men and 36 women. Thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live. Never mind, though:

5. It is also important to realize that based on the polls and the fact that almost anyone willing to put up with California’s single party ineptitude has to be immune to common sense, Karen Bass would have easily beaten Pratt in the election, even though she is in the running for Worst Mayor of a Major U.S. City. True, that is a tight race among the elected leaders of L.A., New York City, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Chicago and Boston. Coincidentally, they are all Democrats.

Bass’s frightening EA dossier reaches back to when she was a amazingly dumb Congresswoman who said that the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was a tragedy for the people of Cuba. (Naturally, she was on Joe Biden’s “short list” for VP. Gee, why would anyone think Joe was demented?)

6. The latest: two days ago a suspicious fire broke out at the offices of Pratt’s business. Investigations are ongoing, but it was “of suspicious origins.”

    • Wait, are you gaslighting me? That video is at the beginning of the post you are commenting on!
      I don’t find it particularly course—he doesn’t say “fuck” for example—and I believe a clear political-machine manufactured take-down does not require a graceful exit. It’s not a concession speech, either. It’s a “I got into this race to expose the shithole LA has become and the crooks running the city, and nothing has changed just because they rigged me out of the election” speech.

      • My bad…I didn’t click on the video in the post. I just assumed it was a summary of events. I just remember seeing another post on his exit speech in particular, and I wanted to track down the whole thing, not realizing it was already here.

        • It’s no big deal, but this happens a lot with many commenters, and it just surprises me how often. I have vowed to point it out when it happens, because it makes me think I’m losing my mind. Someone writes a comment criticizing me for not writing “X”, and it’s right there in the post, in black and white. So I think I did something stupid, and I have to read my own post over again (usually discovering typos I missed). No, I was right: I DID include it in the post…

  1. One of the reasons for a green card holder to become a citizen of the USA is to participate in the political process by voting. How do you motivate a green card holder in Los Angeles who trends Republican? Voting is the main benefit citizenship has to offer to a green card holder (plus it is harder to lose citizenship than a green card).

    The message is that California is a one party state, and that the party in power has engineered the elections in such a way that other parties do not have a chance. California is in this respect not principally different than Russia under Putin; we are only talking about a difference in gradation.

    What about patriotism? Does California give you any reason to be proud? I think the case is hard to make, with this type of woke government who is unable to run things and get projects done. It maybe a good place to live for many people, but so is Singapore and so it the Netherlands or Spain. The administrations of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have nothing to be recommended for.

    And if Kamala Harris had won the Presidency, California would have shown what the future of the United States is.
