One reason I hate donating to political campaigns [View all]

[crimycarny]

The ENDLESS emails asking for more money and always framed with a fear-based message.

Today's email from Harris-Walz HQ made me finally unsubscribe. The subject line was: "Unfortunately if the election were held today we could very well lose". WTF? That is not a motivating message and feels manipulative as well. Why why why do campaigns use these fear tactics?

I will continue to donate but, honestly, I really hate the constant fear-mongering as a way to bleed more money. I respond much more positively to a hopeful message. Like "We're on track to win this! Please help keep our momentum going". Not "hey, 3 days to go and we're going to lose unless you give money". Total turn off.
