We had the numbers to oppose Trump in 2024, but too many purists either stayed home or chose third-party candidates—just like in 2016. It's one thing to see how harmful the GOP can be to our Democracy; it's another thing entirely to show up and vote for Democrats.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
