spencer pratt isn't far right

stop calling spencer pratt far right. it's just not accurate and it's embarrassing.

yes he's a registered republican and yes he voted for trump. he's said that openly. but he's running for la mayor as a nonpartisan candidate. no party label on the ballot, and he's been pretty clear he doesn't want to govern along party lines. he's even pointed out that most of his supporters are democrats.

his actual platform is just standard accountability stuff. audit city contracts, fix ladwp, rebuild after the fires. nothing about it is extreme. it's the kind of thing a moderate democrat would say if they were mad enough about city hall.

is he backed by some republican consultants? yeah and that's worth scrutinizing. but "has gop operatives involved" and "far right" are not the same thing. one is a legitimate critique, the other is just a vibe people are running with because they don't like him.

you don't have to think he's qualified. you don't have to vote for him. but when we throw around "far right" for every republican adjacent person we dislike, the term stops meaning anything. hitler was far right. mussolini was far right. spencer pratt is not.
