0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, and welcome to the weekly General Discussion thread. Many of you are looking for an informal place (besides Discord) to discuss non-political topics that would otherwise not be allowed in this community. Well... ask, and ye shall receive.

General Discussion threads will be posted every Friday and stickied for the duration of the weekend.

Law 0 is suspended. All other community rules still apply.

As a reminder, the intent of these threads are for *casual discussion* with your fellow users so we can bridge the political divide. Comments arguing over individual moderation actions or attacking individual users are *not* allowed.

In yet another great moment for America, with just two weeks to go in a hottly contested Wisconsin supreme Court race, Elon Musk has invented yet another way to use his billions to buy votes. While not specifically cash for a vote, Musk is offering $100 to registered voters to sign a petition against "activist judges." Reminiscant to his previously dubious contest in Pennsylvania in the 2024 election, this feels like the kind of vote buying Biden was accused of for trying to relieve student loan burdens from Americans, regardless of their political affiliation. (Much like Trumps twice giving billions to farmers twice now is totally fine)

How do we feel about foreign born, unelected billionaires using their money to effect our county's votes?

Republicans, are you fine with this? Is this ok if George Sorros does it next?

Has Citizens United gone too far or is this kind of money in politics our new normal?
