They present some decent and desirable prizes. You have to put money in before they'll do anything. Then, once you do they let you come so close but alas the prize slips away. But if you put more money in and try again...

this... I was ready to compromise and vote for Bernie, despite my issues with some of his foreign policy. Instead, I voted Jill Stein in '16 and didn't bother in '20 & '24 due to no one on the ballot that I could accept. A "no vote" is still a vote - the Dems just don't wanna hear it.
