The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of meaningful impact, as players feel that running ads does not significantly influence the outcome, with opponents often maintaining an advantage regardless of ad efforts. Players are required to continuously engage in polls and ads to compete, leading to a sense of frustration and imbalance in gameplay.
“There isn't really a way to win; despite how many ads you put in a state, your opponent still leads.”
“You have to constantly run polls and ads to win over a state on several topics.”
“I, on the other hand, did nothing but a few turns of ads, not doing anything after the first 10 turns (out of 60).”

Players express a desire for the developers to incorporate actual data into the gameplay mechanics and to introduce additional elements to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
“I hope that they'll at least take a look at the actual data and factor it into their gameplay.”
“I do hope they add more elements so there's more gameplay.”
