How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
It’s legal bc it isn’t a candidate doing it or their representatives.
It’s targets at dems….and if a republican does this then it’s on brand.
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 Nope. Still not OK. If people can't do this on their own without being paid, then it doesn't mean anything.
@elbutterfield ok, that’s a fine opinion and perspective, mine is ‘what doesn’t count’ if it actually brings someone to the polls and a private company is choosing this in addition to or instead of donation to a candidate? @Gambit_1
@elbutterfield also, who is ‘tricked’ in this scenario? @Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @elbutterfield yeah, maybe my morals are shot to hell, but I’m tired of trans kids dying, women being denied their humanity, and billionaires destroying our lives. If it’s within the rules and everyone is telling the truth, then do it. Change the laws if they are immoral, but until then we have to stopped handicapping ourselves.
@Gambit_1 @Thumprhare I totally understand what you are saying. We needed to stop playing by the rules when Rethugs weren't. I guess my point is that we won't really win anyone's hearts and minds if we lose our own.
@Gambit_1 @Thumprhare I find myself looking to Harris and Walz for a hit of that strong sense of right and goodness. It keeps me clear in the face of the avalanche of disinformation.
@elbutterfield @Thumprhare I appreciate your perspective and applaud your ideals. I just think we’re at a point of desperation. Is that simple for me.
@Gambit_1 @Thumprhare I saw a very hopeful interview today. The man who predicted 9 out of the last 10 presidential elections successfully has predicted that Harris will win.
@elbutterfield that is hopeful , and it would have been all of them except a SCOUTS decision about hanging chads. Lol
This is a difficult time bc of the Cukt. I hope he is right….we really need her to win by so much the swing states aren’t necessary to be called. I am thinking specifically of her projected winning even if GA is still hand counting their ballots three times. @Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 Let them hand count all they want. No problem. I am hopeful too.
@elbutterfield I have no concern about actual security, it’s the bullshit spin from the GOP. Remember in 2020, one state he had folks chanting about keep counting and in other states he had folks gathering to stop counting?
It’s the time lapse which can worsen the discord.
I too am hopeful, just wary of stupid people in large groups. @Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 We have teams of lawyers staged and ready to take on any misdeeds at the polling stations. A tremendous amount of resources have been alloted in anticipation of those kinds of actions. It may take time, but we will prevail.
@elbutterfield are you in GA? @Gambit_1
@elbutterfield I have a friend who is in GA. They were seriously contemplating Asheville bc they didn’t like where GA has been heading via the State Legislature.
I am looking forward to getting my early voting done.
@Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 It feels good to have voted. I recommend it.
@elbutterfield I believe I have another week or so before I can do early in person. @Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 Would it bring you to the polls if you knew this person was being paid to say it?
@elbutterfield the candidates are NOT be paid or paying at least on the Dem side.
Look, I have worked in clinics to get folks that would not come to a doctor appointment without a taxi fair and a gift card bc to come to an appointment has a cost. Initially it pissed me off, then I realized it provided folks to take care of themselves in a way they wanted to and didn’t have the means or motivation to do otherwise….so I guess yes…if that helps someone pay attention and feel seen, yes @Gambit_1
@Thumprhare @Gambit_1 OK. You are in the trenches. I respect that.
@Gambit_1 This bothers me. People who are in financial difficulty being paid to declare something they may not actually think. This smacks of Republican dirty tricks. Not us.
