Buying voters - nothing new here -- According to X user, Dom Lucre, a well-known influencer, Kamala Harris is reportedly using a significant financial incentive to draw influencers and celebrities to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. According to sources, influencers and celebrities are being offered $20,000 each to attend the event, along with additional perks such as flights, hotel stays, and credentials to the convention. An email, allegedly sent to influencers by public relation managers hired by the campaign, details the compensation package. In addition to the monetary incentive, the email outlines that attendees will receive exclusive invites to private parties and events happening during the convention week. However, to qualify for these benefits, influencers and celebrities are required to post on social media while at the event. This move by Harris and the DNC appears to be aimed at leveraging the reach and influence of social media personalities to boost the convention’s visibility and engagement. The strategy underscores the increasing importance of social media in political campaigns and the efforts by the DNC to connect with a broader, more diverse audience. -- https://x.com/dom_lucre/status/1820249453963423930
