You can't buy popularity, Elon. Ask your buddy Donald
“Illegal” is just a joke at this point
Has been for centuries. Rules rarely applied to the leaders of Rome or China, as soon as someone noticed the trend, it was the end of those governments until it was time to reform and try again.
If you have enough money to have sway in your community or kingdom, you have enough money to start asking for favors and benefits. "I'll give you this land, you give me something later." "If I can guarantee enough grain for the next month, I can get a guarantee from you soon."
You put someone into any power over others, someone wants that power, and some people are willing to do anything for that power.
Cut out the media advertisers, bribe voters directly. Progress.
i'm telling yall. this is a self defense situation.
Everyone talking about how illegal this is but I doubt it is. It does not say you have a vote a certain way. You just have to be a voter and sign his petition to be eligible.
Eligible*
Thanks. I knew it looked wrong.

If this is illegal, does that mean Cards Against Humanity's recent voting stunt is also? Edit: thanks for the drive-by down vote, it really doesn't help the discourse. I'm mainly wondering if CAH has opened themselves up to a bunch of legal liability.
