She got that ass kicked by @spencerpratt in the last debate! Now she’s running… away!

She’s going to stop being Bass and identify as a countertenor.

(An underthecounter tenor, but I digress.)

Has anybody got an inflatable, human-size, yellow chicken to take her place?

Either that or she knows the fix is in and there’s no need to debate.

Pratt is creating the blueprint on how to campaign and win in the big cities.

She’s going to rely upon the bureaucracy to steal it for her, now that they’ve got the directive from the Whore of Babylon II (Harris v. the Hildabeast).

Just bring out the empty chair to the next debate. You could even put the phone numbers for Cuba and Ghana on it.

Pratt's entire campaign is pretty much just walking around L.A., pointing out all the dysfunction, and educating us on how easy it would be to fix. And he's not wrong!

Karen Bass knows he's right as well but she doesn't care about fixing L.A. Her only concern is ensuring the graft pipeline flows to her connections (where it will flow back to her).

She won't debate Pratt because she knows she'll lose handily and be made a fool of, as she should be. And yet, the race will be close. There's a lot of powerful people with a vested financial interest in seeing her win. Their incomes depend on it.

This is pretty much California politics as a whole.

She’s been told she will easily win, so she can dispense with catering to us mere serfs.

Fraud happens with low turnout. But if he can galvanize people to vote, even they couldn’t get away with fraud.
