  1. Progressives turning what you think into a meaningless past we’re taking democracy away from. Capitalism is not for the people. Not red or blue,a new wave .

  2. Bass is black woman – the obvious politically correct winner

  3. She should have stayed in Congress.

  4. There is NOT a divide in the city ! Rat DemocRATS are LIARS and CHEATERS !

  5. Voter Fraud all over again to help Karen Bass get in. She is a part of the Washington SWAMP and California will continue to suffer because of this evil vile corrupt disgusting lying woman. Poor Los Angeles. Its done !

  6. Democratic party is talking about voting rights and in the democratic state . Elections votting are late ever time

  7. the divide is clear! Angelenos want change, some residents just dont see that bass is just so mixed in with the corrupt officials in LA.

  8. Karen bass will signal in chaicsgo 2. 0

  9. Bass is the same corruption that was the LA city council. Telling naive people that she is going to take the city in a new direction, how? These are the type of policies that made the city into a hellhole in some parts, not the rich ones she lives in. They are also disconnected from the people. I've yet to see any of them travel on the metro.

  10. LATINOS 4 CARUSO 👊 ✊️ 🤛 🤜 👊 🇺🇸

  11. this is the stupidest count ever. slow and illegal.

  12. lol switching to 2 parties and no party just show u just want power u don’t wanna help to obliviously but obliviously not

  13. How could they not elect a lesbian POC?? That's crazy

  14. Dependent on which Democrat wins determine has the most homeless camps and riots. 🙂

  15. Looks likely that the voters who wanna abort Dem babies on demand are gonna win…. satan is rampant in the City of Angels

  16. Cali wants crimes, higher gas prices, poop 💩 everywhere! Yes, that is Californians!

  17. its easy for democrats to steal elections with mail in ballots

  18. How many more Bass needs to win? Let get it!

  19. Half of LA is Hispanic. Why don’t we have a Hispanic candidate?

  20. Bass will be in the office….
    That's what they're doing with " vote by mail " and the Union sending people doors to doors to get votes.

  21. 4:51 pm PST

    –CARUSO– is behind

    KAREN BASS FOR THE WIN 🇺🇸

  22. They don't have a Democratic identity. They're full blown communists now. Should be easier for them too. They no longer have to pretend to care about anything except their bloated salaries, bankrupt pensions, and their partner getting transgender surgery paid by the taxpayers. Sorry, flower pots still not permitted in front of your home. The homeless keep using them as toilets.

  23. It's not election week guys. How can you be so incompitant ?

  24. He won and lets get on to him fixing LA finally. A little bit of change isn't bad. Ideas matter more than party affiliation. Thats why caruso is winning.

  25. This would definitely be a Red wave if a Republican won Los Angeles.

  26. LOL LOOK AT THE ACCOUNTS PROMOTING BLUE DEMS! THEY'RE ALL BOTS>>> NO REAL PERSON IS VOTING THIS WAY

  27. If Rick Caruso was SMART he should have tapped all the minorities and he would have won. Right now Wealthy Crap on both sides

  28. CRAP VS CRAP 2 WEALTHY PEOPLE who do not give a crap about people.

  29. The Dems are struggling in areas where the Republicans could have HELPED but they didn't now it is time to pay the piper!

  30. NO CARUSO WE NEED BLUE

    VOTE KAREN BASS !

    🇺🇸 BASS THE BEST CHOICE FOR CA 🇺🇸
