Apparently, the price of Democracy is $100 a head.

[Musk pledges to give $100 each to registered Pennsylvania voters who pledge to vote for Trump, plus another $47 for each additional voter they refer].

Technically you only have to say you support the 1st and 2nd amendment.

Take the money and vote Democrat anyway!

Vote for someone because you think they're the fitter candidate for the job. Not because some jerkwad from South Africa gave you a hundred to do so.

The US has so many campaign finance laws, but vote buying is legal? 🤔

He's being cute by saying the money is just for signing his petition.

Yes but make Soros pay $99 so the news has to note the disparity

Gonna be honest, the right knows that they're being hypocritical and they don't care. They're expecting us to act with decorum while they break all of the rules.

Hell, the right already claims that Dems are cheating, and most of their idiot followers believe them.

It's the foundation-free accusations of Dem cheating that justify anything they do to push back against the "corruption." Straw man has surprising muscle tone.

Sign the petition and then vote for whoever you want

But Musk is not a Jew, so…? Better, no?

i thought buying votes went out in the early 1900s

Or if Kamala demanded that MSNBC not have any negative ads or guests.

It isn’t about values but winning

Just like the freak out about Labour Party people (not MPs) doing campaign support work in the US is a scandal but Nigel Farage doing stuff in the US is meh and not worth a mention by the same people
