For context, read Emma Roller's "A Eulogy for the DCCC's Ridiculous Fundraising Emails." 

Related: "Is Barbra Streisand's Plea for Democrats a Stroke of Genius or a Sign of Desperation?" That question has been answered, at least for the time being.

    Someone's been bogarting the quality schadenfreude wank material. Shame on Ms. Roller.

    I've read that some people will troll a political party by donating a dollar or two, which gets them on every related mailing list, causing the party to spend much more money than that, trying to get another donation.

    OT: Funny political cartoon.

    Nothing washes down desperation stew better than proggie tears. Delicious.

  4. Kaptious Kristen   11 years ago

    All the political fundraising emails I get are doom-and-gloom.

      IF WE DON'T GET $$$$ FROM YOU, THEY WILL BRING A PLAGUE OF LOCUST UPON THE EARTH!

  5. John Titor   11 years ago

    This reminds me a lot of the constant emails I've gotten from Justin Trudeau about money after I signed up for the Liberal Party.

    Go away Justin, I signed up specifically to vote for Findley Hall in the desperate hope that you wouldn't get the leadership!

    Don't spammers do jail time these days?

    1. Jayburd   11 years ago

      I know panhandlers do.
