OVER 50 funding emails in less than 48 hours

[Omaha Steve]

Marta has had a like number. I understand candidates want to raise their bottom lines. The end of the quarter reporting period is tonight at midnight. And email is way cheaper than the USPS. I do try to read through as many as I can. It isn't easy.

I assume many DUers are going through this too. What I'm wondering is how successful the bulk emails are in getting a donation with so many to choose from???

1. IMHO

it's all spam. If people could donate, they would. No need to fill up people's email accounts. I unsubcribe and let them know they're asking too much to often. But that's me.

10. That's what I do, too.

I choose which campaigns/organizations I donate to based on information I read or hear, not from a begging email…ever.

2. Oh yeah. Tons of email for donations.

Once you give to any campaign the email address gets passed around to everybody. I'm getting them from all over the country. No way can I vote for any of them.

I certainly don't read many of them. I just go down the gmail list and tick the box on the left and delete 10 to 20 at a time.

As soon as election season is over I'm going to unsubscribe to more than I already have.

3. I unsubscribed to all after the 2020 election and have not had any in months

4. I get some trying to hook me

Asking if I’m a republican now.

No, I’m not. I’ll give when I goddamn CAN.

5. I get so many that I've had to do a filter to move them into a delete folder, they clog my inbox. nt

6. Every so often I unsubscribe from all of them. First on my list is anyone who uses ALL CAPS...

…or tells me Joe is Desperate!!! or tells me that Hekate is the last person in town I don’t live in anymore holding out money and we’re gonna LOSE!

I hate them all by now. Next thing they are going to tell me I make Baby Jesus cry.

8. I got one awhile back telling me it was my fault Trump had been president ... really. n/t

9. Whose idea was this crap, anyway? Because all of a sudden it was practically across the board...

— the appeals to naked emotion, the heavy-handed attempts to guilt the recipient, and the spamming. Ick.

7. Tell 'em you only donate to those with multiple matching funds...

"His campaign is like a get-rich-quick scheme gone bad!"

Donald, I'll send you $1,000.

You get the 700% match, making it $8,000 total. You send me back $3,000 and keep the $5,000. I will verify that you improved my economy and you get $5,000 that you did not have before.

Win/win for both of us.

I'm not greedy.

You get more than half.
