Could Spencer Pratt’s Viral Campaign Shock Los Angeles Politics?

Activism

I’m fascinated by what’s happening with Spencer Pratt’s campaign in Los Angeles. The question is whether viral momentum can actually turn into real votes. Today I break down Spencer Pratt’s explosive rise online, his viral homelessness and drug policy videos, and why his campaign is getting national attention despite spending almost nothing on traditional TV advertising. I also explain why the Los Angeles mayoral race could become a real test of whether social media influence now matters more than old-school campaigning. We also get into the failures of Los Angeles leadership, the aftermath of the Palisade fire, and why voters may finally be reaching a breaking point with city politics. Spencer Pratt has generated massive buzz online, but does Los Angeles actually know who he is outside Twitter and viral clips?

I think you are being far too generous to Bass and her compatriots in ascribing the roadblocks to rebuilding the homes to incompetence.

Do you think social media virality actually changes elections now, or are most campaigns still won the old-fashioned way?
