If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

Must be great to live in one of the seven states that's allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.

Great way for me to learn Ohio is considered a lost cause I guess? Not sure if i disagree (or care), for that matter; I want out.

I will absolutely share this around after checking it out myself, but what is a good response for the inevitable "they're bribing people to vote"?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

They are, but they're doing it to troll Elon offering $47 for referrals of swing voters willing to sign petitions supporting conservative ideals.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

They're paying for an apology for not voting in 2020, there's no obligation to vote in 2024.

Now that's how you build a proper mobile website!

Also

I used to love your card games before you got all political.

Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid.

LMFAO, I should steal that and use it against those transphobic turds on Xitter complaining about Godot

Lmao

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

ahahaha!!

Bad news possibly: are the MAGA schemers gonna send people to the Cards Against Humanity site and then ask for a $50 donation to even things out?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That was actually addressed it seems! (In the FAQs at the bottom of the site)

FAQ portion of linked site in the original post

Cards against humanity is using acquired voter data to determine how much you'll get. It's highest $100 for "left leaning in swing state", someone determined to be right leaning will probably get a <$47 reward, keeping it net positive.

Gosh I really like the phrase "Donald trump is a human toilet". I'm gonna use it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hear that Donald Trump the human toilet likes to have golden showers from underage girls.

JD Vance told me so

as a British pervert, I'm guessing you must be the Canadian?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???

We just can’t win.

Canada is the comma of nations. Technically it's supposed to be there, but no one notices if it's missing.

Canada's influence is so weak they couldn't even convince the world their bacon is actually bacon.

Canada's claim to fame is being slightly more interesting than North Dakota.

Canada's national anthem sounds like an apology letter set to music.

Canada's idea of influence is having 90% of their population living within 100 miles of the US border and constantly asking "hey what are you guys up to, eh?"

Since it's targeting people who don't give a fuck, is it called "cash for fucks?"

....is that legal? That feels like paying people for votes, and I'm like...80% sure that's illegal?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

They're paying people to apologize for not voting in 2020, which does not include them voting in the next election.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No where does it say you only get the money if you vote.

Also, it's a response to Musk who did the same thing but more hateful.

Nowhere do they actually require anyone to vote or to vote a specific way

2020 was the first and last election I'll participate in. Fuck America and fuck you(including tankies).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Up to their sole discretion they decide to give you between $0.01-$100, via paypal only if you allow them to collect your info and pass that info to "necessary parties".

This is well and fine for anyone who doesnt really care about that and im sure they have better interests in line with you moreso than other companies, but figured I'd post their Terms and Conditions for those that it might affect.

I dont use paypal as its literally one of the worst ways to manage money in the US. So I'm not doing this unfortunately even though i AM voting and didn't vote in 2020.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for posting this, and thanks for voting!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Absolutely. 2020 made me wildly apathetic towards humanity. I've decided to move onto optimistic nihilism instead lol.

I'll play the shit out of a violin while the titanic sinks just for the laughs.

One could only hope if they did end up at an epstein party it's at least good

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (14 children)

I love how we've managed to come full circle. In the early 1900s buying votes was open and totally normalized.

Obviously it's fucked that Musk started this, and while it's pretty rad to see CAH surpass his dumb ass, this isn't going to be the end of it. This is just the genie getting loose.

Federal law prohibits anyone from knowingly or willfully paying or offering to pay or accepting payment for registering to vote or voting (42 USC § 1973i(c)). It applies to primaries and elections that have candidates on the ballot for the office of president, vice president, presidential elector, or member of Congress, whether or not the violation alleges payment related to a candidate for one of those particular offices. It includes criminal penalties for violations. - https://www.cga.ct.gov/2001/rpt/2001-R-0132.htm

It sucks when Elon does this shit just as much as when someone does it for your team, guys.
