In reply to the discussion: So now, it's not just Obama, but the Democratic Party that's being bashed here? [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)They're expressing the frustration of many of us who get 20 to 30 of these every day (in addition to phone calls). I actually GIVE to the DSCC and DCCC, to OFA, and to individual candidates facing difficult races. I have done much on-the-ground electoral work for the party over the years. It's probably why I get contacted so much. But I do find the barrage of guilt-inducing emails that flood my inbox every week, and especially at the end of these quarters, to be not a great way to do business. I feel harangued and besieged, honestly. It's getting to be too much: the more you get the less you read them. I honestly most just delete them without reading because I know there will be another one there again tomorrow ... and tomorrow and tomorrow. They're not worth reading, because they're just donation button vehicles. It really doesn't matter what they say. I just have my own schedule, and as I delete the emails, I say something like this to myself: next week I'll send Tammy Duckworth (or someone else) a little money. I'll go to her website and do it. And I do.
