Major gotcha moment from the NBC Los Angeles mayoral debate: Mayor Bass says many supporters of Nithya Raman's campaign are advocates for bike lanes!!
Duh!! Of course! Bike lanes save lives! 🚲🌴
I’m unfortunately in one of the cities in LA with its own local government so no go on being able to vote on this… which is unfortunate given how much of an impact it’ll have on us.
I’ve been tempted to! I’m not sure how well I’d do though, it’s a weirdly religious part of LA and I’m very not. But I think I could run for school board when my own personal life settles down a bit more and I have money to run, though.

WeHo, Beverly Hills, or?
you can vote for LA County Supervisor! those positions have a lot of power but nobody pays attention to them
Valid point, haha. Also I’m still voting anyway, my local city has pretty awful choices though for some reason.
that’s too bad. you could get involved in local orgs to pressure those awful choices at least

There’s always nonprofits with likeminded people
