Back before Biden dropped out I got a spam text to do a survey about Biden, but it was from a legitimate group of Senate Dems.
So I figured I complain enough, might as well do it directly.
The survey was 3 questions like "do you agree trump is a danger? Yes or no."
And you couldn't submit it until it took you a donation page with a 5 minute timer and no chance to skip.
Feeling I might as well keep going at this point, I waited.
When the timer expired, it reset to five minutes.
There was no way to submit the survey except donating, and it was designed to make you think you had to rush, and obviously each time it reset, it would change the donation back to $200.
It's some shit I'd expect only Republicans to pull.
Probably a Nigerian prince.
This Nigerian prince?
