getting prosecuted over this

It should be illegal to sell/buy votes. You're manipulating our already messed up system. It's completely irresponsible to sell your vote anyway.

I don't understand isn't it unamerican to prohibit our citizens from buying and selling? Now we're missing that tax revenue and spending tax dollars to prosecute Mr Sanders. Anyway It's a very funny idea that asks a variety of good questions regarding capitalism and democracy. Is offering your vote for sale in Minnesota illegal? Max didn't sell his vote. Very nice idea Max Sanders! I hope they let you go. Unless your intent was to be prosecuted in which case I hope they throw the book atcha.

What planet are you from? Our government has every right to prohibit citizens from buying and selling. You can't buy drugs, you can't purchase pharmaceuticals without a prescription, you can buy a gun without a permit, you can't buy military aircraft or space shuttles without the right connections. You can't even sell to a minor without risking a voided contract.

Offering to sell something illegal is a crime whether someone buys it or not. Haven't you heard of charges like "Attempt to sell illegal goods"? If you try to sell a stolen car you'll be charged regardless of whether someone buys it.

Basically if this type of thing were allowed than a wealthy candidate could quite literally buy an election and turn our entire process into a sham.
