Simple question is usually something like "Do you support Biden?" So you open the poll and click "yes", only to be greeted with more questions. Finally, it continues to "how much will you contribute today", the clear implication being that failure to donate means that your opinion doesn't really matter. Aren't we supposed to be better than that kind of stuff??
