Isn't that like buying votes?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Nope. They aren't telling you you must vote for Harris. There is no call to action to vote.

Funny but it has to be illegal right?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

They're paying you to swallow your pride, make a tweet, and a plan to vote. They're not paying you to vote.

paying for apology, making a plan of voting, and a tweet?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They have a pretty fun FAQ on the campaign site explaining the legality of it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok that was both funny and depressing in equal measures.

Can they target the electoral college since they're the ones that overturned the popular vote in the first place???

I know this is a response to musk's bullshit, but this makes it sound like trump won the popular vote in 2016. He did not.

Is Kamala that unpopular that you have to pay people to vote. This is Hilary all over again. And yes I know it's response to Musk but this wouldn't have been necessary with Obama.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

It’s necessary because of all the money the other side has pumped in to getting morons to vote for a moron.

If we want that to stop, I think using the same tactics while pointing out how it shouldn’t even be allowed is a pretty good strategy.

Read through their statement https://www.apologize.lol/

Seems a bit patronizing to imply non-voters exist because of republican propaganda and not apathy caused by generations of being fucked over by politicians on both sides.

I'm not saying don't vote, or don't vote blue, but don't expect non-voters to give a fuck about what you have to say when you dismiss their concerns and imply they aren't voting because republicans tricked them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s absolutely patronizing, but it’s honest about its intentions.

They don't need to stop. What they should do is adopt progressive policies that will excite the base. Number #1 would be stopping all arms sales to Israel.

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

You egg. A far left candidate would lose to Trump so hard that the climate would be forced to turn into magma without any more help. Elections are about choosing the better of two options. Nobody us going to put up a candidate you agree with on everything: no such candidate exists.

Jesus Christ, this guy is going for Gold in the 1500 meter Moving Goalposts Sprint.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'm just trying to help. You're the one desperately buying votes.

SAY ISRAEL ONE MO TIME MF.samueljackson

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

I meant to say Chalk Zone, because it doesn't exisit.

The 2 party system forces politicians to do 1 of 2 things:

Lie to and manipulate uneducated voters into thinking they're the best option.
Only enact middle of the road policies everyone likes to get voters in the middle to swing the vote in their favor.

Our two party system is too entrenched to ever pass laws to remove itself, thus this will always be how politics works in the US. We should all be focused on some form of multiple choice voting like ranked choice if we ever want something different than the above, but I see no reality where the dems and gop come together and dilute their own power by making this a reality.

Oh this again.

K the Israel thing isn’t going to happen. It’s fucked up, I know.

Anyway, that’s not what we were talking about. We were talking about money influencing politics. That’s what needs to stop.
