      I voted for her and convinced a Coworker to vote even though she thought it was a waste of time. There is still time to fight. I also took elons $100 and reserved a ticket to see him to speak in green bay so some asshat would have to stand in line longer. Fuck him.

        Coworker to vote even though she thought it was a waste of time

        Be sure to at least once drop that “Hey remember when you said voting was a waste of time, but you still did and something good happened?” Nugget

          And also the other nugget: “If your vote didn’t count why is so much money being doesn’t to sway it?”

            You have to wonder if those million dollar checks recipients even voted R. Secret ballot and all.

              They were selected in advance. Nobody actually had a chance to win the million.

                Is this real or is this just cynicism?

                  This is real. They went to two campaign workers who donated the money back to Republicans.

                  In this way they skirted the law on holding an illegal lottery. As far as I know the $100 for signing the pledge is still being paid.

          Looking at the total number of voters, I can’t believe somebody can have attitude like their vote doesn’t matter.

          Not voting is how we lose democracy.

    Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

    Rules:

    1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

    Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

    Example:

    1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
    2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
    3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
    4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
    5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

    We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

    All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

    That’s all the rules!
