Lmao

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.

The whole FAQ is pretty amazing. My favorites:

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.

The data you have on me is wrong! I didn’t vote in 2020 and it says I did, or it says I’m red-leaning when I’m definitely blue, or whatever. I demand you fix this.

Consider the teachings of Buddhism: “The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”

Now, calm your mind and meditate on the knowledge that Cards Against Humanity does not have time for this shit

ahahaha!!

Bad news possibly: are the MAGA schemers gonna send people to the Cards Against Humanity site and then ask for a $50 donation to even things out?

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That was actually addressed it seems! (In the FAQs at the bottom of the site)

Now that's how you build a proper mobile website!

Also

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

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

LMFAO, I should steal that and use it against those transphobic turds on Xitter complaining about Godot

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.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 159 points 3 weeks ago

There's a fun bit on the official website where they tell you how to get Musk to pay them $47.

This is some bullshit, I can’t even lend a hand

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 55 points 3 weeks ago

as a British pervert, I'm guessing you must be the Canadian?

[-] nixx@lemmy.ca 60 points 3 weeks ago

So for the first time we don’t get lumped in with the yanks, we get lumped in with the Brits instead???

We just can’t win.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Canada is the comma of nations. Technically it's supposed to be there, but no one notices if it's missing.

Canada's influence is so weak they couldn't even convince the world their bacon is actually bacon.

Canada's claim to fame is being slightly more interesting than North Dakota.

Canada's national anthem sounds like an apology letter set to music.

Canada's idea of influence is having 90% of their population living within 100 miles of the US border and constantly asking "hey what are you guys up to, eh?"

Edit: (Love you, Canada!)

American politics forces itself on me and I can't even vote in their elections, that's fucking bullshit. No spamming without representation!

If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

Must be great to live in one of the seven states that's allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.

[-] Xyre@lemmus.org 27 points 3 weeks ago

State and local elections still matter outside of the electoral college!

So this is probably a plan to call out Elon musk's stupid "pay to sign a petition" plan. Basically just buying votes. The more attention these schemes get, the more likely they will be made officially illegal.

Sort of a Satanic Temple maneuver. I like it.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago

From Apologize.lol

Cards Against Humanity is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters to (1) apologize for not voting last time, (2) walk us through a step-by-step plan of how they’d vote this time, and (3) post “Donald Trump is a human toilet” on social media. This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!

Highly recommend giving the whole thing a read. It's pretty funny (and messed up)

[-] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 45 points 3 weeks ago

Gosh I really like the phrase "Donald trump is a human toilet". I'm gonna use it

I'm pretty sure they're using the money from Elmo using a plot of their land they bought to stall the border wall

It's just a shame we don't have an option this election for a president against a border wall...

[-] Kushan@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

They said they were sharing the Elmo money with those who originally helped them buy that plot.

[-] Zulu@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago

Up to their sole discretion they decide to give you between $0.01-$100, via paypal only if you allow them to collect your info and pass that info to "necessary parties".

This is well and fine for anyone who doesnt really care about that and im sure they have better interests in line with you moreso than other companies, but figured I'd post their Terms and Conditions for those that it might affect.

I dont use paypal as its literally one of the worst ways to manage money in the US. So I'm not doing this unfortunately even though i AM voting and didn't vote in 2020.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for posting this, and thanks for voting!

[-] Zulu@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

Absolutely. 2020 made me wildly apathetic towards humanity. I've decided to move onto optimistic nihilism instead lol.

I'll play the shit out of a violin while the titanic sinks just for the laughs.

Funny but it has to be illegal right?

[-] threeganzi@sh.itjust.works 61 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 weeks ago

Ok that was both funny and depressing in equal measures.

Her's how you might also be able to help:

I can't buy the card pack from Canada 😡 I wanna help

[-] Podunk@lemmy.world 45 points 3 weeks ago

I live in texas. Send me a venmo link. Ill buy the cards through their portal, ship them to you, and match your contribution to elevatedaccess.org to provide funding to individuals in need of abortion transportation and gender affirming care. I already fly for them. This is the least i can do. Lets go.

I will absolutely share this around after checking it out myself, but what is a good response for the inevitable "they're bribing people to vote"?

[-] Travesty@lemmy.world 56 points 3 weeks ago

They are, but they're doing it to troll Elon offering $47 for referrals of swing voters willing to sign petitions supporting conservative ideals.

[-] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 29 points 3 weeks ago

They're paying for an apology for not voting in 2020, there's no obligation to vote in 2024.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

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.
