It’s time for you to tell us who they are, especially if they’re in Wisconsin, Michigan, >Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, or Georgia. Don’t worry, we’ll just send one >friendly email about how they can get paid to apologize.
So, you know, fuck them right in the ass for that.
But, there’s this:
Who qualifies to get paid?
Any eligible voter who didn’t vote last time qualifies. But only blue-leaning people in swing states will get a BIG payment. (italics for emphasis mine).
Idgaf what they put in their tos, this shit will be what gets focussed on.
Maybe they skate by on a weak loophole, maybe they don’t. But it’s fucking stupid, and it’s dangerous when there’s already going to be a “voting fraud” storm of bullshit if trump loses.
This entire publicity gimmick is beyond stupid, and if it backfires, it’s going to be the rest of us that pay the price
You seem to have missed the context that this is a counter protest to multiple similar schemes on the republican side including one by Elon Musk thay they specifically mention. It’s meant to make you think ‘wait this is illegal, right?’.
They are very clearly angling to make it illegal in the medium/long term. You might be familiar with similar efforts by the Satanic Temple. You take what the other side are doing to the logical extreme or would make the average person think “that’s very weird” and ask “is this OK? Gonna do something about it?”.
I suspect that’s what they’ll claim, but I can about damn guarantee it would come down to a jury deciding, and we all know damm good and well the GOP isn’t afraid of suing people
They’re trying to buy votes? How the hell do they think that’s going to end?

Seriously, how the hell do they think it’s going to end for them?

I didn’t miss anything.
It’s a horrible idea, and it isn’t going to do a damn thing to counter anything the Republicans or musk do.

Nothing is happening to musk for doing it
If you re-read OP you will see they do not ask for votes anywhere.
I suspect that’s what they’ll claim, but I can about damn guarantee it would come down to a jury deciding, and we all know damm good and well the GOP isn’t afraid of suing people
and that would be a win, because Musk is essentially doing the same shit.
edit for clarity: the win would be setting a precedence so musk or anyone else would be open to suit/prosecution too.
I really hope you don’t practice law
I certainly hoped you weren’t a dick, but we don’t always get what we want, do we?
If you encounter a dick online: that person was a dick.
If everyone you encounter online is a dick: you’re the dick.
That one person was a dick, until you came along, bringing the total across the entire thread to two.
