If I believed all the gloom and doom of the pleas for money

[redstateblues]

from the all the Democratic candidates I might think they are all about to lose in a landslide. It does not inspire me to send money. Sorry to say but I nuke about 99% of them. As soon as I delete one another five pop up.

1. Yup, same here.

2. They say what they can to rake in the dough and it usually works.

If you are ever inclined to send political money, never do so at your own expense. They will live without it, and certainly have plenty of other donors who will be willing

3. I got one email tonight that really caught my eye.

The title said Are you even reading these?

I hate the gloom and doom emails. They do not impress me, not one bit.

[Grins]

4. AGREE!!!! To the point where I may never contribute again!

And damn hard to stop the ones that are the forever and ever text messages vs. emails.

5. I have never received so many gimme emails from out of state as this election

I delete all of them

6. Funding is its own primary.

This is worth catching if you can.

Ww have got to change the system. Here in Hawaii we are so lucky to have two excellent senators but I’ll tell you what, they’re better than we deserve.

I really progressive older generation left us a legacy and these people grew up with them. We are no more democratic than the Hong Kong election directed by China, down to the second decimal. (We= US )

Check out Represent.us. They have a good idea bit it’s one state at a time effort.

Cannot tire.

7. Same here. I've started unsubscribing to whatever, making a point of saying how much I hate this...

It’s worse than emotionally manipulative — it insults my intelligence.

[Raine]

8. I NEVER give to candidates, politicians or political parties

I give to causes that I personally really care about mostly having to do with animals and the environment. I leave the other for the political insiders to hand out their money to, it's an investment for them which they get a return on.

9. I assume you don't want high dollar donors funding campaigns...

..well, the honest truth is that doom and gloom emails get low dollar donors to contribute. It they didn’t, candidates wouldn’t send them.

10. If they would do like Manchin and get rid of important legislation that oil CEO's don't like they

would not have to waste time to send gloom and doom fund raising letters. It just takes weekly contact with one person. So much nicer.

11. I get them from candidates and have no idea who they are.

If you get on one email list, you’re on a gazillion. It’s very obvious they sell and/or share. I get a ton and never read any of them.

I support candidates who are action oriented and I don’t make that decision based on emails.
