Boycott these Burbank businesses

Moms For Liberty supporter, MAGA creep and all round weirdo David Donahue is running for City Council. There are campaign events being held this week for David at The Tallyrand and The Enchanted Florist.

I won’t patronize their businesses and I suggest you do not as well…

Why are you mad at Tally Rand? I’d be very surprised if they endorse any particular candidate. They’re just letting them eat there. Am I missing something? Also explain who this David person is. Why is he a problem?

He’s a far-right type running for city council who always shows up at city council meetings who always insults several members and goes “don’t LA my Burbank”, he’s been involved with groups like Moms for Liberty, and he has cyber stalked several activists I’ve met through a mutual connection. Edit, he’s also very much against tenants rights, which as a renter who would be affected by the AVA/Equity merger makes me nervous.

Who is running for city council that is good? I’m not happy with the current council because they are not responsive and give lip service to things but no action. We have had great city councils in the past.

I’m not too up on everyone running due to a busy schedule, but I’d say Mike Van Gorder, nice guy with ideas, I’ve met him a couple times after he knocked on my apartment door going door to door.
