Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal?

  This is most r/nostupidquestions thing that has ever been asked here. It’s just bait.

  Surely the best response the Democrats could say is “if we win the midterms we’ll use Trumps financial plans to give you all 5k”… Trump can hardly then criticise it, it takes away the advantage of the bribe and if they win the midterms they can then declare “it was all bollocks there is no trillion dollars left lieing around to hand out”

  Laws protect the rich and bind the poor. The law is operating exactly as intended.

  One theory for the death of Edgar Allen Poe in Baltimore is that he got caught up in a cooping gang. It is all voter fraud no matter how you handle the details.

  I guess that heavily depends on jurisdiction.

  Yes.

  And even worse, we’ve seen it done by other presidents in recent memory, like when Biden promised a $2000 COVID aid check if the Dems won Georgia, which they did, and then the amount shrank to $1400.

    Biden wasn’t president at that time.

      Wasn’t Biden out here promising $2000 checks. Nope. No sir-ee.
