Even how much im against this as a principal, its the right thing to do.
As an European this election is probably more important for me than the average American. Trump wins, and Europe's safety is at risk. Let Putin take Ukraine, and Putin will take more land as its endorsed by the US president.
Please don't fuck this up.
I generally like CAH's activism, but can we please not re-normalize bribing voters?
They aren't, they're calling attention to it and directly saying "this should be illegal!". It's not subtle, it's a pitch to point out that this should not be allowed.
However the website with the info (https://apologize.lol) now links to their other thing and I wonder if they are working through some legal concerns, lol.

I think their point is that we need to change the law. But yes, let's not normalize this or the billionaire will start regularly paying.
is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters... This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!,

Bribing voters is illegal. Paying people to make a voting plan isn't. Yay legal technicalities!
Trump will call this election interference without a hint of irony.
LOL these people are really something else.
Anyone think this is a good idea?
No, not even them, but the GOP is actively doing it, and if they win this election it will never stop.
This is what "fight fire with fire" means. You use the same tools as your enemy, or you lose.
That's their point.
I mean it's definitely hilarious.
if you're going to risk federal charges i think you should probably do it in service of something a little more substantial than a lukewarm voting drive. especially when everyone you convince to participate is ostensibly on "your side" and they will also be risking federal charges.
too many people praising this think clever wording and specific language is like iron-clad armor against a judge saying "no fuck you, your intent was clearly to break or circumvent the law. go to jail/pay this fine". that only works for the rich.
