They want you to believe this happened in the LA Mayors race…
3rd place jumps to 1st in *every* ballot drop *after* Election Day
Defies all mathematical probability, the law of averages and has never happened in US election history
No one with a functional brain believes this
Not a fan of Bernie, but this is a good start (if the bill is only this). I believe any funding to a political campaign/politician should only come from an individual that is an actual constituent.
No one should be able to fund a Senate race in a state they do not reside in.
This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.
The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.
@TimothyDooner Nope. My point is that there really is no other country on earth that can handle these worldwide events with such ease, having top- notch hosting facilities everywhere, and no real strain on infrastructure as the USA.
The many universities help greatly.
@DavidJHarrisJr Imagine hating something that is good. Have we become so partisan, so divided, that we can't cheer and celebrate and appreciate when a good thing happens for us all no matter how it happened?
So much hate must be exhausting.
@demonjacobs666@oldconcreteguy@iluminatibot Before complaining, understand this: paying less than the interest leads to negative amortization. The balance grows because the math never changed.
It was avoidable.
One could've paid this loan off in 5 years paying $175.30 a month. Now, $180/mo. pays off $8750 in 5 years.
@demonjacobs666@oldconcreteguy@iluminatibot He didn't say anything about how many separate payments were made, and failed to mention the duration of the loan. Both of these points matter.
Without a time frame and not knowing how many payments you've made, this post is lacking important information. The fact you DON'T mention it says a lot.
American takes out a student loan for $8,645.
After years of payments, he’s paid $7,450.
His current balance? $8,750.
He pays $7,450 — and somehow owes MORE than the original loan.
This is usury, and it should be illegal
The damage from a reactionary Supreme Court:
Citizens United allows billionaires to buy elections.
Ending Roe v. Wade takes away a woman's right to control her body.
Louisiana v. Callais strips voting rights away from Black Americans.
Our rights are under attack. FIGHT BACK.
