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.
It doesn’t say anything about voting voting Trump, just blindly saying you support the 1st and 2nd amendment. Like I will gladly and openly say I completely agree with that, but there’s not the slightest chance in hell I’m voting for Trump.
Cards Against Humanity however is very carefully threading the needle around committing election fraud. They’re paying you to make a plan to vote, but not based on whether or not you actually follow that plan and vote. The latter is very explicitly turnout buying, what CAH is doing is possibly just far enough away to be legal. I’d be shocked if no one uses them over it though as close as it is.
CAH is also clearly saying “what we are doing is fucked up and shouldn’t be legal.” They are bringing attention to the fact that this shouldn’t be legal to encourage laws to be updated.

This isn’t buying votes. They’re paying you to apologize, make a tweet, and make a plan to vote.
There’s a fun bit on the official website where they tell you how to get Musk to pay them $47.
cards should be working as dem strategists

For those curious.
What’s the legal reasoning behind it?
I think it’s because Musk is offering money to people who get other people to sign up and pledge to vote Trump.

Which funny because they’re simultaneously phasing out parts off the first amendment.
I’m not a lawyer so I have no idea. I was just providing the link from the image.
