Comments

Noah: unbelievable that he thinks people buy it like this
Mayakarim: high expectations from a guy who can't even pay his contractors 💸
Bruno: something like this should be done without tying it to an election outcome, it always feels hollow when politics gets in the way of helping people
Bruno: I'm still trying to wrap my head around how much is supposed to happen for a promise like that to actually come true
Quiet Serpent: so this is just a desperate move to get people's undivided attention for the election
Static Sparrow: unfortunately for his base I think people are starting to notice this isn't a policy promise, just another get-out-the-vote trick
Grim Vector: promises in exchange for votes are just a sideshow to distract from actual policy proposals
Onyx Moth: Sounds like an empty promise to me. How's this going down with voters who aren't invested in party politics?
Aidenmeyerxo: It sounds like they're trying to tie his promise to the election outcome, which might put some pressure on the vote
Zoe: promising $5,000 sounds suspiciously like trying to buy votes; is that really how they want to seal the deal?
Grantkian: I'm surprised he didn't think this through - that sounds like a pretty expensive promise to make good on 🤷
