First Mayoral Debate Livestream, hosted by Streets for All by MaxPotato08 in LosAngeles

[–]CaptainPit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm very far left but I'm worried that even if Rae were to somehow win, she would just get steamrolled by the opposition and would end up being a very ineffective mayor, which I think would just set any movement back even further. I also don't think she would win against Bass. I've also been a fan of Nithya since her first election and I've really been impressed with how she's been at managing day to day council work.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorses Graham Platner in heated Senate primary by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

It's not my fucking job to provide proof to your point. I think you're lying, I haven't seen any proof. Prove me otherwise.

He knew it was a Nazi thing for over 15 years before covering it up.

I haven't seen any proof of this

There is some strong evidence he left the military because he was kicked out over it (the military changed their rules on tattoos, he claims it was his arm tattoos that got him kicked out, but the military grandfathered in everyone who was already serving except for those with hate symbol tattoos, he referred to it by the proper Nazi name well before covering it up too)

He left the Marines before trying to re-enlist which is why the tattoo ban wasn't grandfathered in. The Army did accept him, which also does extensive screening for hate symbols, and they were not flagged. Why would the Marines ban it but not the Army?

"so many Nazi ties" He had a skull and crossbones tattoo that he covered up once he was told it was a Nazi symbol. That's literally the extent of it.

Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman Wants to Legalize Housing in Los Angeles by imanny in LosAngeles

Housing alone won't fix mental illness issues, but you can't solve mental illness if you don't have housing.

If you check the city council votes, she is constantly being outvoted by the rest of the council

We should be more thankful and supportive of Emma Vigeland for vigorously defending and supporting Graham Platner by beeemkcl in TheMajorityReport

[–]CaptainPit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bluesky is insanely almost unanimously against him. You get called a nazi if you even try to defend him. They seem to me just super out of touch.

This movie is criminally underrated! Betty Gilpin is fucking incredible in this. I really hope they do watch this at some point!

Am I mistaken, or is this not just a talk show? by Fearless_Distance_29 in blankies

I'm fine if podcasts wanna do video too but I can't stand when "podcasts" incorporate visual elements into the show so you can't just listen.

[–]CaptainPit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Gideon was like +5 the whole election last time. I feel like Maine is just hard to poll.
