In California, it doesn't matter because the results are already known. In other states the calculus is a bit different.

first past the post voting is a broken system and that main party candidates should make more effort to fix this glaring hole in the voting system.

The Democratic Party would rather lose to the Republican Party than change the rules to allow for a multi-party system.

That aside, the major parties don't want to reform the system they have because it's worked very well for them. Our parties are incredibly old by world standards. The Democrats have been around since the 18th century, and the Republicans have been around since the 1850s.

We insist because "the monthly payment" is directly proportional to the purchase price of the home. You're the one who seems to think the monthly payment is somehow completely independent of the price.

The bank does not own her house. She owns her house. The bank holds a lien on it. Holding a lien on something is not the same as owning it.

There's not much of a difference when the size of the purchase determines "the maths" of the monthly payment.

It's certainly possible. My opinion has long been that politicians are not really all that responsive to public opinion.

It was a joke though.
