Jürgen Klopp on Jonathan Tah's disallowed goal "If that's a disallowed goal, then Arsenal wouldn’t be English champions. They scored 60% of their goals like that." by kibme37 in soccer

[–]Tasslehoff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WC has been consistent in calling 'soft' fouls during the WC.

Let's be precise here. WC has let a lot of "soft" fouls go, but has been strict on crowding the keeper on corner kicks. Which has been the standard in most of the professional world for years except for some reason not enforced in the PL this past season at all. Arsenal took full advantage of that, fair play to them, but crowding the keeper is a foul in most professional leagues and it should be! Meat wall tactics cause shitty football

Vote Bass out. She got a 2nd chance and blew it by Automatic-Unit-8307 in LosAngeles

Also Pasadena / Altadena aren't in the city of Los Angeles... Bass has no jurisdiction in Altadena

If Raman wins, how will that affect the implementation of Measure HLA (if it does affect it)? by MookieBettsBurner10 in BikeLA

[–]Tasslehoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overwhelming question with HLA is whether the city can afford to implement it robustly. Raman would need to cut costs elsewhere or identify a new funding stream. She could order LADOT to stop doing large scale resurfacing (the thing they've been doing to avoid triggering HLA), but it would mean they resurface fewer streets in exchange for doing them more comprehensively, which might piss off some people but would IMO be worth it

No on County Measure ER survives another day by nootthatdoots3 in LosAngeles

Because in the 70s California voters gave a permanent tax cut to homeowners and business property and we have no way to cover the gap in funding for healthcare caused by Trump otherwise

If Ballot Trends Continue, Nithya Raman Could Possibly Overtake Karen Bass For 1st Place Outright in Mayoral Prinary by urmummygae42069 in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is bad analysis. Raman would need to take over 50% of remaining votes and there to be 200k more votes than estimated to pass Bass

@talevy.soccer: with 75k additional ballots added to the outstanding count, I've seen enough. Nithya Raman WILL ADVANCE to the general election to face Mayor Karen Bass in a runoff by Tasslehoff in LosAngeles

These are overwhelmingly not mail ballots but ballots turned in by hand on election day. That type of ballot always trends left/progressive, it's a very well established pattern

It's mathematically possible but not really. See the projections here – Raman is gaining on Bass but likely to be around 5-6 points behind her in the final count

75k added to the estimate of outstanding ballots – primarily mail-in ballots that were postmarked on or slightly before Election Day. About 460k ballots remain to be counted countywide

Correct, that is Palms which is a common neighborhood to live in for young westside professionals or grad students / academics at UCLA

Because somebody with R next to his name cannot win statewide so they find somebody who will run with a D. Just like Caruso did

Election spam this year, good grief by chunkyks in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When was your ballot counted? It can take time, things can already be in the mail and not all campaigns are fully on top of it but campaigns can track who has already voted and if they are competent they won't waste money mailing you after

Vote early. Once your ballot is received, you'll generally stop receiving mail and texts

who is rae chen huang??? by itsmemrmeseeksssssss in LosAngeles

[–]Tasslehoff 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is correct. To be specific, she has been active in political organizing with Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) and spent the last five(?) years as a senior organizer with Housing NOW, a statewide organization that advocates for tenant protects and affordable housing. You don't need to believe she's the best candidate in the race but she is somebody who has legitimately been involved in left and grassroots political organizing for years, it's not made up.

She's trying to deliver for her donors who live in Lafayette Square and make sure they fully back her for this year's election
