The thing that blows my mind is that they only spend around $60k developing it. Steyer and Bloomberg have spent 400 million dollars combined on ads in South Carolina. Couldn't any of the several billionaires that support the Democrats have kicked down a couple hundred grand for this at least? Even Epstein randomly handed out 100k checks to profs at MIT. It's not that much money for these people.

60k for a web page, that has a form to input about 8 numbers? With about 1000 users maximum?

In Russia we sometimes joke, that a project can be implemented by a student paid with food. This project reeeeeally looks like such project.
I mean honestly, probably anyone here can create this “app” in a day.
Maybe I don’t understand the complexity, but it doesn’t feel like it has any. And if so, than no money could save it :)
