Alan Miller spent $3M to get 3% of the vote for LA Mayor. He obviously never had a chance, but 28,782 anti-Bass/anti-Raman people wasted their vote on him instead of the viable alternative, Pratt. If not for Miller wasting votes, Spencer would lead Raman by 5K votes right now.
Miller is a smug, rich asshole who took FireAid money, bankrolled Eric Swalwell, and had the tacit support of fellow impotent, smug, rich asshole, Tricky Ricky Caruso...not only would his ego force him to stay in the hopeless race, but his political advisors undoubtedly lied to him, told him "our internals look good, Alan!"...all so he would keep cutting them checks til the bitter end. They took advantage of him being a rich doofus, and he stayed in the race, siphoning off potential Pratt voters and spoiling the election for sane people who wanted a real change. Miller voters are truly the dumbest motherfuckers in LA. Good work, guys!
Alan Miller is a classic case of politicos taking advantage of the aloof rich guy, assuring him “our internals show a solid path to victory” when he’s never actually been above 5%. He wasted $3M of his own money and his voters all wasted their votes.
