    Well, cards against humanity could get involv…

    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

      "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 “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” 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."

      Ok, but it is really fucked up how transparent voting seems to be for you guys in the US:

      How do you know who didn’t vote?

      				We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up. 			
      

      How do you know who’s “blue leaning”?

      				We got your partisan lean from the same data broker who sold us your voting history. You wouldn’t believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff. So fucked up! 			
      

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

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

        The first and second one just seem wrong somehow. Voting is definitely supposed to be anonymous. Why would (aside from stupidity) would that sheriff recently make the statement about noting who has democrat signs in their yards if they could just find out everyone who voted democrat?

          It was mostly for intimidation. And I don’t think that Sheriff in particular has easy access to these records. Sounds like you need to form a PAC, find the data brokers, and then buy it off them.

          Much cheaper to just intimidate the local population with thug tactics.

          Whether we voted is not anonymous, but how we voted is anonymous. It’s just that our political leanings are pretty transparent in our personal data.

        FYI if you want to see what data they have try to sign up to get paid. Even if you have never voted they may have data on you.
