    One of the biggest red flags that you might be getting conned is when they try to rush your decision. “It’s an emergency, your grandson is in jail and needs $500 to get bailed out, no you can’t hang up to call him, we need it now or he gets put in a cell with Rapist Bob.”

    Not saying this is a scam, just saying the tactic feels predatory. Do better, dems.

      I hate how everyone follows the social marketing playbook now. There’s so little community building and genuine connection with constituents. Everything is optimized by some social media marketing guru types with a masters degree in being an asshole.

    The grossest thing was the day Roe got over turned I got emails from 10 different Democrats looking for donations to help fight it.

      It pisses me off when they run some “get a free x” with donation that they alert me about just after i already donated for fucking bubkiss.

      They do it very often too.

      I can’t donate to them anymore after 2024. Like they had a billion dollars in donor money and they lost badly. I don’t even know WTF they used the money for.
