It looks as though the people of Los Angeles were stupid enough to pick proven loser Karen Bass to be their mayor for another term, although Spencer Pratt did come in a respectable second. Well, at least that's what the election returns looked like on Tuesday night … it could take weeks for Los Angeles to count all of the votes it needs to ensure a Democratic victory.

Polymarket, "The World's Largest Prediction Market," however, is reporting that Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman has surged to second place, overtaking Pratt.

Let's be clear about something:

Betting sites are garbage, and Democrats cheat. Both can be true.

It just shows that people are betting that they're going to find a whole lot of mail-in ballots for Raman over the next few weeks.
