A political influencer is telling supporters of LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt the best way to help his victory is to vote forMayor Karen Bassnext month — and critics are torching her argument as “insane.”
Samantha Ettus, a self-described best-selling author and commentator, has been posting multiple videos in recent days urging conservatives to vote for Bass. Herposts have generatedat least tens of thousands of views.
Ettus claims her primary motivation is to ensureNithya Raman, a democratic socialist running for mayor, does not win.
Here is how the LA Mayoral race works and here is the strategy that aims for two outcomes:1. Blocks the DSA candidate from getting one of the top 2 spots.2. Gives Spencer Pratt a path to potential victory.Please share with Angelenos.pic.twitter.com/7F0qA9cF3E
She said was “very involved” with New York’s mayoral race that ended upwith socialist Zohran Mamdanias mayor.
“We are now in danger of a similar outcome in Los Angeles,” she said.
She said Los Angeles voters against socialism need to strategize differently for the primary next month versus the general election in November.
California has a “jungle primary,” where the top two candidates with the most votes, regardless of political party, face off in November.
Spencer Pratt is a shoo-in, she claims, because all the Republicans will vote for him. The other spot will go to either Raman or Bass, both Democrats.
If Raman gets the second spot, she will win, she claims. But if Bass ends up facing off against Raman, Bass can beat her. Voters need to do all they can to avoid Raman as mayor, Ettus said, and later pivot to pushing for Pratt in the general election.
