It’s really sad how stupid one city can be

[YUMLiberalTears]

After all of this time, who knew that "Escape from L.A." was actually an instructional video?

[commanderbell]

LA too far gone no matter who's Mayor.

[Zev]

Now L.A has their very own "Karen' 😂

[OnlyFacts]

Nothing will change until you get these corrupt politicians out of office.
Prayers for LA.

Repeating the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results, is generally speaking called insanity. Same goes for voting the same party and expecting a change.

[STRTJESSUS]

Imagine being excited to be the mayor of LA

[karkars]

LA is literally a third world country. Miles and miles of homeless camps. The businesses leaving and sidewalks blocked. Extremely sick mentally ill people running around and nobody does anything to get them treatment. Then you have these fortifications of gated communities where the rich live. It’s unreal

No wonder, the transients were cheering outside city hall today!!! Aaaahh hahahaha heee aah ha!! 🤣😂🤡🃏

Lightfoot 2.0 aka Beetlejuice LA going to become Chicago now.

I don't think Bass is a bad person, but I really think Caruso would have done some meaningful changes for Los Angeles.

[danhutson]

One bad mayor leaves & someone worse takes over. It's all about POWER!

[SKtube]

No matter who won, the problems in LA right now are way too big for any one person despite their party. I can only hope that the steps toward real change get taken and bipartisan cooperation isn't dead.

[Smokr-DOGEgroupie]

If you thought LA was in the crapper before...

[CityHighKustomz]

Feel sorry for my friends that live out west...🤦‍♂

[meejinhuang]

Another sad day for LA. Gascon and Bass will destroy LA.

[luisestevez]

Get ready for John Connor and Kurt Russell will soon be roaming the streets of LA.🤣

[brianc]

Again....choosing based on identity. Is everyone just insane now

[tomslick]

LA needs to be leveled and start over.

[hitektoo]

New Orleans, DC, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, (formely), Baton Rouge, etc all under black female Democrats and now LA.... YIKES!
