(35,325 posts)alarming and Biden is underwater. Please send more money. What irritates me I send them money then the next day
instead of thanks it's we want more. I got 63 E-mails one day last week. If I get a couple I read them when I get 63 I select all and delete. I support Biden and Harris 100% but I sure will be glad when this is over.

Do they get highschoolers to write these email catch phrases?
I've voted straight Democrat since 1980, is there any intelligence behind the 50-100 emails I get a day?
I spend a good part of my day deleting a dozen emails at a time, carefully scanning so I don't delete any critical ones.
Lately, since I'm voting straight ticket anyway and don't need alternating SHOCK POLL!! versus DOOM AND GLOOM! headlines in my inbox, I've been thinking of unsubscribing to 99% of these emails. It's as if they have no idea how anxiety-producing politics is this year. Add the pandemic and I'm full to the top with this crap. I don't watch any politics any more, barely read Facebook as it's a sewer (as is Twitter) and delete the emails as fast as I can. Here I am secretly hoping that some operative from the Democratic party reads this post. lol

(35,325 posts)Senate in the entire country. I send $50 then I get one the next day wanting me to send so much to get
a sticker or something. A couple months ago I unsubscribed to all of them, they slowed down a while then I made a contribution and I am back up to 60 e-mails. My next door neighbor, a Trump supporter, has the same complaint about the Republicans. We only have a few more weeks to put up with it.

(8,168 posts)It actually annoys me to the point of putting off my donations until the last minute.
The only donation I've made this cycle was to a local candidate who called me and left a message saying we've met and I'd appreciate your support. I met him once at a bar and he remembered me, I thought that was cool, gave a generous gift to his campaign, got a hand-written thank-you note in the mail.

(3,282 posts)They are sending them because they are working though. Hauling in 300 million bucks last month is bonkers.

(19,037 posts)There is always some noise, but now that the conventions have been over for 6 days and a full set of polls has come out, we can say for sure there was little to no tightening.
This last outbreak of riots probably helped the moron to a certain extent.
The mushy middle feeling uncertain tends to go to the "tough guy" and this has taken Covid 19 and all his other fuckups off the front page.
Yes, 95+ percent of protesting is good people doing it right, but there always are the leaches who come out as it gets dark that piggy bank on to it when it is wide spread and now we have these right wing assholes trying to stir up shit.
People need to GTFO the streets for the next two months.
