In reply to the discussion: I have to ask: is anyone else being BESIEGED with email begging [View all]Lonestarblue
(10,374 posts)48. I get dozens every day and weekly snail mail. It has become tiresome.
Whoever the Democratic groups have hired to create these emails really sucks at it and needs to be fired. They use headlines that arent true (McConnell loses, Mitch McConnell is panicking), never explain what actions theyre taking, and just beg for money. They need appeals that speak to our intelligencewe are not the a mindless cult like Republicans worshipping at Trumps feet.
