A Great Move The DNC Can Do Right Now

[lame54]

Quit asking people for money!

It's pissing us off

[Wounded Bear]

1. WTF? I don't see any DU fundraisers on my screen...Oops! Read that wrong...

They have their periodic fundraisers, but it's not constant by any means.

[lame54]

3. The text keep coming - that's WTF

[BOSSHOG]

5. I'm still getting

Them both electronically and via snail mail. I’m ready for it to end.

Happy Birthday Marine.. I’m assuming based on your Avatar.

[japple]

10. DNC not DU. OP said DNC should stop asking for money.

n/t

[Wounded Bear]

11. Thus the Oops! edit...nt

[BOSSHOG]

2. I'll drink to that

I gave heartily and happily this year. But No Mas. At least for now.

Every time you get a request from DNC or whomever, send a few bucks to the Red Cross or a favorite charity of yours. Just a thought.

[Delarage]

13. Or ACLU

I'm thinking of re-joining

[BOSSHOG]

14. Excellent Idea

[Ocelot II]

26. Yes, them and/or the Southern Poverty Law Center.

[The Roux Comes First]

32. Yeah - I Did That Last Night

Planned Parenthood here I come.

[jalan48]

4. Clueless and not a good look for the DNC.

[Bettie]

6. I have mostly abandoned my email account

because I couldn't get out from under the flood of emails asking for money....and money didn't help in this election. Over a billion raised and it didn't help.

I get at least 50 solicitations per day now. I was getting more and you just end up buried under the flood.

I've migrated to a gmail address that I never use for any donations.

[Retrograde]

22. I was able to unsubscribe

to most of them. For some reason, they all addressed Mr Retrograde even though they were addresses ro me

[Bettie]

31. Seemed like every time I unsubscribed from one

two more popped up.

And since are NEVER not in campaign season, it's all the time, they all want money every single day of the year, every year.

[GB_RN]

33. I Had A Similar Problem...

I would get emails from various Democratic candidates asking for money, but they were addressed to my dad. Try to unsubscribe and you get a page that says something says if you’re not who the email is addressed to, in order to be removed, you need to contact whoever put you on their list. Yeah, no. Screw that. I still hit the unsubscribe button.

The spam texts and spoofed-number calls were incessant until Election Day, when I had none of either. A few spam calls since, but nowhere near as many as before.

The Democrats need to tone down that shit. It’s ridiculous.

[FirstLight]

7. I keep getting emails from them and Act Blue :(

It really pisses me off...

they ask about whether I voted or not, like they are taking tallies for some kind of legal thing...then ask for a donation.

FUCK ALL OF THEM!!!

Kamala supposedly had more money than DJT and look what good it did...

I'm still so pissed i could spit nails!

[lame54]

8. That's my TUMS money now

[Pinback]

16. Good idea not to engage or click any links.

I've gotten a few text messages that looked like phishing, and I never click links in text messages anyway. With email, I use disposable unique DuckDuckGo addresses for each source, so I can kill them and stop the flow when needed.

I reluctantly killed the Act Blue and Vote.org addresses I’d been ising for a long time because they were just killing me with the endless fundraising appeals.

Here’s info on DuckDuckGo’s email protection if you’re interested:

[JoseBalow]

24. DuckDuckGo's email protection is great

It works like a charm.

Reliable, secure, convenient, and very simple to set up and use.

I can't recommend it enough.

[catchnrelease]

34. I tried to set it up

I''m guessing I'm missing something obvious. When I went to set it up it says it's sending me a link or passphrase to put in to enroll, but I couldn't find where they sent it to. I looked at my email addresses etc but found nothing there. Help me out here, where would it be? Thanks....

[JoseBalow]

35. I assume you entered the address correctly

and checked your spam folder, just in case?

I set it up a while ago, but I remember it was easy as pie. I created a DuckDuckGo account with a Duck address that forwards to an anonymous address, which forwards to one of my regular accounts. After that, all the randomly generated addresses follow the same path to my inbox. I've never had a problem with it.

I suggest double-checking your folders, or trying again from scratch.

Good luck!

[catchnrelease]

36. I think I entered correctly

I'll go try again and see what happens. I definitely checked the spam folders. It sounds like a great system. Thanks!

[catchnrelease]

37. Got it! n/t

[JoseBalow]

39. Great!

Now whenever a website asks you for an email address, you can just right-click in that field and generate a new disposable forwarding address that you can disable at any time.

Enjoy!

[Magoo48]

12. Even if money is the overwhelming problem, our lack of money is not the problem.

[orangecrush]

15. Give to the ACLU

They're sure gonna need it.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. LOL

If Trump doesn't have them all arrested for opposing the Judges he appointed., or going after any Corporation.........

[progressoid]

17. Yep.

[generalbetrayus]

18. You know, virtually every politician and political organization that phone messages me offers the opportunity

to "unsubscribe" by responding "Stop". I made heavy use of that option this past election season. It's a pain in the ass, but it almost always worked. The DNC disappeared off my phone a long time ago because I don't want any of my Ameros going to conservative Dems.

[AllyCat]

19. Yeah, that has me really mad.

Starting Wednesday after lunch, the texts and emails started again. Not cool.

[relayerbob]

20. If they didn't set aside a few million for the inevitable aftermath

Then that was very poor planning. it ain’t over until it’s over, but this ATM is down for maintenance

[Turbineguy]

21. Yeah.

Although I am only getting two demands for $500 per day instead of twenty

[FakeNoose]

23. I totally agree! Even though it's all going into my spam file

... I'm in no mood to give them anything right now.

[DENVERPOPS]

30. In my opinion

they have all studied how well Trump has done it, and want to try it. AND, .....they all want to "get".....while the "getting" is good...... (by feeding off our anger for what has happened)........

[liberal N proud]

25. I had two emails from the DNC today

Are you kidding?

[duncang]

27. I don't know why.

But I didn’t have that much of a problem unsubscribing. I made multiple donations over the months. I did get a new group of emails when I made a new one. The same thing with texts they stopped when I sent stop.

[Alice B.]

29. Who thehell wrote the subject line "Let Me Explain"

This from "Nancy."

No. Just no. Go away. The ACLU, Planned Parenthood... there are others right now that won't be using my $5 for media buys.

[AncientOfDays]

38. Agree

I got texts hot and heavy before the election. They've slowed down, but I still get several a day.
