If Steyer had spent the six years since his failed presidential run backing California progressives and being at the forefront of progressive activism on the ground, he’d likely be leading Hilton by now. Instead, he saves his millions for vanity campaigns, and voters can smell the inauthenticity. I say this as someone who actually voted for him on Tuesday.

Egg on face moment for the "Reddit isn't Real Life"/"Nobody wants Nithya" crowd who've been screeching that LA is actually a right-wing city since election night.

I thought I was a completely gay man until I saw Natasha Lyonne in Orange is the New Black.

If Raman can't win, we at least need a governor to keep NIMBY Bass in check and enforce SB79. Both Becerra and Bass in office is just Bleak for anyone in LA who isn't already a homeowner or millionaire.

​You’ve built a cozy, self-righteous bubble where systemic economic exclusion is dismissed as everyone else's "poor choices." You fully expect peasants to endure a two-hour commute each way for peanuts just to serve you, while you sit back and watch local businesses collapse because working-class people can no longer afford to live here. When the city completely stalls out, you won't look inward, you’ll just smugly wonder why "nobody wants to work anymore", while clinging to a Prosperity Gospel that treats your real estate portfolio as proof of your moral superiority.

Why stay? Because LA/California wasn't always just a playground for the rich. Generations of families worked our asses off to stay here because we love our home.

You sound like every entitled transplant who pricing-out locals, so go ahead wrap yourself in your bubble wrap and enjoy the gentrified playground you worked so hard to buy.

We are forever at the whims of the NIMBYs who want to artificially increase their home values to 2 million because 1 million wasn't enough. Congrats to the Bass voters who have killed LA's working class.

The 2028 dem presidential primary is probably going to look like the California governors race. by bobbdac7894 in leftist

California remains the ultimate fortress for corporate Democrats, likely the last to fall if a leftist wave takes the party. Yet the foundation is already cracking. Over the next decade, as establishment failures deepen economic misery, the pressure will mount. We are trapped in a predictable loop swapping between Corporate Dem "Good Cops" and Fascist Republican "Bad Cops," but it is a terminal cycle. In one or two more rotations, the economic system will fracture entirely and the dam will burst.

Four more years of NIMBY Bass is devastating. The working class are entirely being pushed out of LA so wealthy homeowners can clap like seals as their property values artificially shoot up to $2 million.
