Nithya Raman is Indian and Hindu and DSA.. Pretty good campaigner and very smart.. She is trying to unseat Mayor Karen Bass's tenure as Mayor of Los Angeles..
Karen Bass is a Black establishment Democrat, was a member of the CBC/Congressional Black Caucus, and a huuuge supporter of Israel..(so what's new - very AIPAC-ish).. Right now, Nithya has a slight lead in the polls and it looks likek she's gonna be a DSA mayor like Mamdani.. BUT, why do I not trust Nithya Raman entirely? She comes across to me as someone who's gonna move to the center as soon she wins etc etc.. Anyway, let's stay tuned...
