Cards Against Humanity Offers Cash Incentive for Apologies to Non-Voters from 2020
In a provocative move to engage non-voters from the 2020 election, the popular card game company Cards Against Humanity has launched an unusual campaign: they will pay individuals who didn’t cast their ballots in the last presidential election to apologize and make a voting plan. The initiative, dubbed “Cards Against Humanity Pays You to Give a Shit,” aims to encourage civic participation and spark conversations about the importance of voting.
As part of the initiative, the company is offering up to $100 to individuals living in swing states who lean Democratic. To qualify for the payout, participants must publicly post a statement that reads, “Donald Trump is a human toilet,” alongside a commitment to vote in future elections.
The campaign is fundamentally a blend of humor and social activism, leveraging the company’s quirky brand to address a serious issue: the low voter turnout rates that plagued the 2020 election. By casting the initiative in a sarcastic yet engaging light, Cards Against Humanity hopes to inspire those who skipped out on voting to reconsider their civic duties.
In a statement, the company emphasized the importance of making one’s voice heard in a democracy, particularly in pivotal swing states that often determine the outcome of elections. “Voting is not just a right; it’s a responsibility. We want to turn the apathy of 2020 into actionable enthusiasm for future elections,” the statement read.
Critics may argue that the campaign trivializes the seriousness of voting, while supporters contend it’s a creative approach to mobilize younger voters who may feel disillusioned by the political process. Only time will tell if this unconventional strategy will succeed in its aim to transform reluctance into action.
For those interested, further details on how to participate in the campaign are available on Cards Against Humanity’s official website. The deadline for submissions will coincide with the upcoming midterm elections, making this a timely initiative as the nation gears up for another chance to shape its future through the ballot box.
