If I get another "Kiss all hope goodbye" email from the DCCC

[hobbit709]

They're going to get a response they won't want to hear.

THE SKY IS FALLING has been the general tone of the last few days.

1. Do the following...

Add a rule to your email app that says "if FROM contains 'info@', then move to JUNK folder.

3. Everything from the national party level already goes directly to trash.

I just skim over the headlines as it were before emptying the trash.

got 6 different variations this morning.

2. I remember getting massive amounts of such emails

2 years ago. So bad that I started counting & one day it was up to FIFTY emails from the DNC & other Democratic organizations that treat Texas like shit except when they need money.

I marked them all "spam" & now they hit my spam folder for the most part.

A constant flow like that.

9. Hey, remember how successful that strategy was 2 years ago...

I remember people telling us, "Look guys, you just don't understand politics, this is a good strategy. Maybe you don't like it, but it works." Yeah:

The elections saw sweeping gains by the Republican Party in the Senate, House, and in numerous gubernatorial, state, and local races. The Republicans gained control of the Senate for the first time since 2006, and increased their majority in the House. The Republicans also gained two seats in governors' races.

10. The problem is, the sky IS falling. eom

11. They don't seem to realize that a...

"...all hope is lost" tone, rather than motivating, could make potential contributors say, "Well, screw it then. Why bother?"

Not very effective psychology.

12. I'm counting the number of fund raising emails I'm receiving today

As of 3:40pm EST today, It is 73. I suspect I'll be over 150 by midnight.

About 10 years ago, I donated a decent chunk of change to "Act Blue" - I wasn't sure how to split it up since they supported so many good candidates, so I told them to split it up between 10 candidates. Ever since, I've gotten fundraisers from each of those 10 candidates monthly, plus all of their spouses, aunts, uncles, adult children, and senior people in all their campaigns, and any successor campaigns (candidate 5 lost, but he or she sold his list to the next Democrat that ran in that district). Eventually, it was local Democratic committees, state Democratic committees (I just got one from the state committee of Virginia and earlier got one from Washington state - I live in Connecticut), and then national Democrats. I expect at least a few emails from Barack Obama today, one from Michelle Obama, one from Joe Biden, a few from Elizabeth Warren, at least two from Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (one each already), etc.

it's tiring, and it seems impossible to get off of these mailing lists, too.

13. Are you kidding? Try the last few YEARS.

14. In 2014 it was 6 months of doom and gloom

And the last one was 2 days before the election, the subject line was something like 'all is lost, it's over and we give up '

I'm not kidding, it was that bad

The sole purpose of the DCCC email list is to convince Democrats NOT to vote
