I'm getting annoyed at solicitations from candidates claiming they are losing

when they are actually ahead. It's a trick that doesn't work with me. On the other hand, when James Taylor or Carole King requests $ on Joe's behalf I'm all in.

we're totally doomed (and it will be all your fault because you didn't send us your $25). I suppose that approach must work or they wouldn't do it, but I just find it irritating.

I donate monthly to three campaigns (Biden/Harris, Warner, Webb in VA) and I just made another donation tonight. Then I got an email stating they're GOING HOME in Florida because I haven't donated.

Unsubscribed.

g.... I clicked the box where it said I still want relevant information about Congress and local stuff, but I vowed if I ever got to meet her I’d tell her to not ever use that tactic again. I don’t even know how she is really doing.

My first thought was to wonder why I was on a Repug e-mail list, but no...it was the Texas Democrats writing that, if I didn't contribute to them right now, Biden didn't have a chance of winning. (I guess they're expecting me to believe that Biden has no chance nationally unless he wins Texas.)

to these messages, versus more positive ones. I can't believe it can be very much. Just stop the shit already...
