The progressive card game company is paying new voters who come up with plans and disparage Donald Trump online.

The company behind the game Cards Against Humanity is aiming to one-up Elon Musk with its plan to pay blue-leaning swing-state residents who make voting plans and agree to publicly condemn Donald Trump.

The company announced an initiative Tuesday to encourage people who didn’t vote in 2020 to go to the polls this year by handing out up to $100.

On a website created by the game company, eligible voters are asked to provide their personal information, which is then checked against voter data that the company said it bought from a data broker. “You wouldn’t believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff,” the website said.

If eligible voters didn’t vote in 2020, Cards Against Humanity offers them a payout, provided they write apologies for not having voted four years ago, create voting plans and publicly post “Donald Trump is a human toilet.” If the voters lean blue and live in swing states, they can earn more money.

According to the website, over 1,700 eligible voters have already participated.

    I just don’t see why they would get angry when Musk is promising to pay them.

    In fact, that’s what they say every time they get mad at something they think is unfair that they think the left is doing: “we get to do it too.”

      1. CAH is paying more than Musk
      2. CAH is using Musk’s own corrupt plan (which started this), to fund some of THIS, and intending to sue him if he doesn’t hold up his end of the deal.

      For someone who seems to really want more left leaning stuff in our politics…you just seem to have dug your heels in on this one, without knowing very much about it. Every answered question or corrected assumption produces yet another, smaller complaint. This thing they’re doing is good. Even if it’s flawed, so what. It’s good. So few things are.

      I’m out, cheers.

        My complaint has remained exactly the same since the beginning: they will not achieve their goal, Republicans don’t care, they want this normalized. This helps them. The only thing that will change this is if congress and the judiciary aren’t on Musk’s side. They are and they will be thanks to gerrymandering and a stacked court system.
