Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 how this is legal?

How the System WorksThe 6-to-1 Formula: Under city rules, when a qualified candidate receives a small donation from a local resident, the city matches it at a 6-to-1 ratio. For example, if a resident contributes $5, the city provides an additional $30 in public funds, bringing the campaign total to $35.The Legal Foundation: This program is codified in the Los Angeles City Charter. The funds are drawn from a dedicated public matching fund created by a voter-approved city charter amendment to help fund local elections.Strict Qualification RulesCandidates cannot simply take this taxpayer money; they must meet several requirements enforced by the city:Local Support: They must raise a baseline amount of money from at least 100 separate Los Angeles residents who donate $5 or more.Caps on Matching: The maximum individual donation eligible for a match is capped at $257. A $257 donation yields a maximum of $1,542 in city funds.Civic Participation: Candidates must have an active opponent and agree to participate in at least one public debate or town hall.Overall Cap: Total public matching funds are strictly capped at just over $1.5 million per candidate for the general election...

When the system runs out of your money, it brings socialism. Take from the poor and give to the poorer.

I don't know the details, but I can tell you that Democrats get busy making election fraud legal, once they have sufficient power in a jurisdiction, so they stay in power permanently.

How do these fucks stay in office so long but presidents get 4 years?

Isn't she the dimwit awhile back that stood there like a zombie when a reporter asked her a question after fires or something? I don't follow US politics but these idiots show up numerous times.
