I have always received Hillary emails. I believe that it is because of past donations to Planned Parenthood, DNC...etc.

I just thought that a email calling me out for giving her nothing was pretty funny.

Was just taking a guess. Probably you are right though - one of those other websites must've shared email info.

Those lists are sold to other campaigns. Even if you never donated but we're on any campaign's mailing list? Even a nonprofit that backs her might have shared their list

What's unfathomable is that despite having Obamacare techies and some of his campaign communications critters on staff, her campaign hasn't managed to properly segment the lists she's using. If they're going to email newly acquired lists, they could at least ease into it instead of just assuming you're on her team. The arrogance .. As usual. It burns.

Sending me an email that tells me that I have given 0 donations for 0 dollars just struck me as absurd.

so merely receiving an email wasn't noteworthy.

...glad hands me and immediately treats me like an old friend it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. If they then immediately ask for money they're lucky if I don't teach 'em a few new four letter words.

Team Hillary should really nix this particular strategy, immediately.

I did the same for the NDP, sent money but I voted for Justin Trudeau. Even now, I am receiving emails from both parties for donations. I just click delete. It is not the person running, who is requesting donations, it is their campaign managers.

Once you donate, they sell your address to each other. Like other marketers, they collude against you and pay each other for your information so they can.
