Nithya Raman looks miserable as she breaks cover for first time since winning the election

Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman was spotted for the first time since winning the race for Los Angeles mayor, making her the first mayoral challenger to defeat an incumbent since 2005.

Raman made her way from her home to a combined yoga studio and workspace in downtown LA.

“Los Angeles, I’m deeply honored to be your next mayor,” Raman said in a video statement. “Thank you to the thousands of people who knocked on doors, sent texts, made phone calls, convinced their neighbors to believe in the promise of this big, beautiful, joyful city that we get to call home.

Rigging the primary to cheat Spencer Pratt out backfired on Bass big time. My theory is mailed in ballots with forged cancellation dates.

You too would look like evil crap if you moved to another country and decided to enrich yourself by promoting the failed government you escaped.

IF YOU OWN YOUR OWN POSTAGE MACHINE——YOU CAN SET THE DATE TO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

MANY COMPANIES USE SUCH...FASTER THAN APPLYING STAMPS.

Mail voting was a rat dream for many years it is a license to steal. The first the new rat controlled states will do is lock it in there.

Big, beautiful, joyful city?!

Either she needs a good optometrist, or she’s talking about Brentwood or Bel Air.

When Spencer Pratt appeared to have been cheated out of his Primary Victory, that was one of the biggest disappointments of this year to me. It was almost as though somebody had died. I don’t even live in LA. I’m north, in the Bay Area, but any Mayor of LA has a great deal of influence throughout this state. Now? Socialists to the left of me, Socialists to the right, here I am.

She’s just hangry. She’s probably hasn’t had a brain to eat today.

It’s the only way to explain the post-election day surge for Raman. Raman was polling a distant third behind Pratt.

“Mail voting was a rat dream for many years it is a license to steal”
.
Starting with the 19th amendment, Dims reduced the voting age to 18, removed “voting day”—instituted “voting month”, rejected calls for voter ID, encouraged Illegal non-citizen voting, “Motor-Voter” and introduced “Ranked-Choice” voting.

The Founders would be appalled.

Wait ‘til 16 year-olds get the vote and voting by the Internet takes over.

The list is long. The rat’s constant grinding away at the fraud safeguards and the Republican’s inability to fight back have brought us here. I don’t see a path back now. The 19th was catastrophic but inevitable. It made everything else possible.

She can’t run a city. She couldn’t run a lemonade stand.

Someone will be running her soon.
