(54,726 posts)Ive participated in some polls and surveys that in the end, always circle back to excessive donation requests, which is off-putting ..

(855 posts)So I stopped completely. Clear out some spam periodically even after getting off the lists. They know they need to do better and stop guilting and shaming, its a terrible look and I suspect the people who got it into place know that its not actually pro-Democratic party to support that. People will get whiffs of corruption and groupthink and back away.

I also donated through actblue and they shared my name with every other dem running. So many requests for more money.
Enough. I stopped donating to anyone.
If only there was a do not share option.

You can't be shamed by a text message from ActBlue - that is solely your mom's job

(3,547 posts)There are sooooo many people and similarly named organizations asking that Ive stopped too. They were told to do better last election cycle. They arent.
Im also super unhappy with requests from out of state. It should be illegal to request or volunteer funds from out of jurisdiction, period. Whats the difference between Ohioan money in a California race and Russian in a federal race?

(36,694 posts)support some out of state politician. I gave nearly $400 to the Biden campaign in 2020 so I am on a
sucker list now. A friend of mine died a few years, they requested we make donations to the local Urban
Mission so I gave $50. Next thing I know I am getting mail from every charity in the country and the Urban Mission
never received one more penny. I don't mind giving but not if they are going to sell my address.
