Two lower courts had already rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law.

Summary

Elon Musk handed $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters at a Sunday rally supporting conservative court candidate Brad Schimel ahead of the state’s pivotal Supreme Court election.

But the state Supreme Court, which is currently controlled 4-3 by liberal justices, declined to take the case as an original action and gave no rationale for its decision.

Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul argued the payments violated election law.

Musk’s groups have spent over $20 million in the race, which has drawn more than $81 million in total spending.

    40% identify as conservative, 40% as moderate, and 20% (25 in a good year) identity as liberal.

    Like it or not, your leftist agenda can only be achieved by working with those you’d rather not. Refusing to do so and not formulating a strategy to get them onboard with your agenda is detrimental to every goal you have.

      Why would any of those people ever help with my leftist agenda? I’m not going to work with fascists or other genocide-enjoyers just to have someone to work with. I’m just hoping that well meaning libs will eventually get tired of having the rug pulled out from under them by the people they elect.

        Hope is not a strategy. If someone came to you looking for a business loan and they said ‘we are going to hope people get tired of drinking soda which is terrible for them and switch over to our carrot juice’ - would you give them the loan?

            Then change your approach. Instead of trying to black pill every leftist on lemmy like you have been - go post in liberal or moderate social media circles and try to hone your message into something that is effective.

              This is my changed approach. I used to do what you’re suggesting and it didn’t get anywhere either. It just left me frustrated and worn down. Nowadays I put my actual effort into organizing on the ground in my area. Anything I do online is for my own satisfaction.

        Well then, you’re certainly never going to accomplish anything. Just have a fake sense of moral superiority as everything is taken away from you.
