Tactics: How many threads have you ever seen discouraging people from donating to their candidate?
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 05:56 PM by jsamuel

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember anyone posting that we should not donate to our candidate of choice before today. However, today many posts went up discouraging people from donating to their candidate of choice. I don't like that tactic. One poster even threatened to donated to their candidate for each thread someone posted encouraging people to donate to the other candidate in order to try to stifle grassroots donations.

I don't like it one bit. We have got to stop this. It is fine to encourage donations to your candidate, but attacking others for their donations is wrong. I have seen it done by supporters of more than one candidate.

2. I'm all for donating, I'm just sick of the number of Hey - Donate threads.
What is so wrong about having one thread, and keeping it kicked... Fill it with all the excitement of the day's donors. But do we really need 50 donation threads a day?
