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.

    That would be deranged, and so would I be… if that’s what I had said. What I said was normalizing. It is a different word.

    Here, I’ll help you: thinks that are normal are not normalizing.

    Similarly, a rising elevator hasn’t already risen.

      So are you saying cah can’t do this because it may be misinterpreted by utterly deranged people? Should we just give up then? Anything can be misinterpreted if the interpreter is deranged enough.

      Also, I don’t know what you mean with “a rising elevator hasn’t already risen” but such an elevator would experience infinite jolt and would thus be physically impossible, except maybe if the elevator was a photon or something.

        I said nothing about what they cannot do.

        They can do whatever they like.

        You keep claiming I said things I never said. I didn’t say CAH has made bribing voters normal and I didn’t say they can’t do this.

        Perhaps you’d prefer to talk to Flying Squid rather than whoever you think you’re talking to?

          “You keep claiming I said things I never said”

          That’s… literally not something I did. You’re literally claiming I said things I didn’t by saying I claim you said things you didn’t. I never claimed anything about what you said.

            Can you really not be honest for even one post?

            Here is you lying about me saying it’s normal. In context:

            I really don’t know what you hope to gain with all of these lies.

              Neither of these are claims about what you said? The second one isn’t even a claim? I was and am genuinely confused as to what you’re trying to say?

                  Do you think I’m calling you deranged in the first comment? Honestly? That’s your take from what I’ve written?

                  On the off chance that you’re serious, let me explain it to you.

                  1. If someone reads about cah doing something, and they are like “well I guess that’s normal now” they are deranged.

                  2. You can’t account for deranged people.

                  3. We should not take into account what these people think.

                  For all non deranged people this draws attention to and de-normalises the practice. I’m not the first person in your own replies explaining this to you.
