Thanks for this! Nailed it.

See also these fundraising texts I keep getting about the Citizens United constitutional amendment. Just frustrating!

Thank you for outlining all of my frustrations with Democratic fundraising. I am one of those people who fiercely protect my privacy by deleting political texts. Yes, I feel disrespected, abused with the fundraising tactics employed and it makes me FURIOUS. Life is hellish enough under the Trumpian, tech bro and billionaire bottomless greed, powerlust sociopathic cabal taking over America and the world without also having to protect ourselves from out of touch, fearful of change and so-called Democratic leaders. Thank you for your efforts to break through the Democratic self destructive endless feedback loop - or more accurately - echo chamber.

I have had to be more self preserving by deleting ALL fundraising text messages. I no longer give to the DNC except indivually to individual PROGRESSIVE governors, Congressional Democrats who are actively trying to protect Americans and immigrants. I focus on donating to young people trying to engage voters or who are running for office. I continue to donate to fierce democracy warriors of all ages. I won’t give to the DNC until they start LISTENING to the people they purportedly represent.
