It's possible someone might want to continue to get emails from the Jindal campaign, just not ones begging for money.

Do Not Resuscitate posted:W-what? Am I reading Jindal's fundraising note right? Pay me $100 or I'll spam you?! Also a pledge to stop requesting money from his biggest backers. Clever.

Soon Jindal will be showing up at people's homes and refusing to leave until they give him whatever cash they have in their wallet. "Look Jindal, $27 is all I have, please, just go!"

I now it sounds like a threat, because seriously, who wants to get an email from Bobby Jindal? but non-profit radio stations do the same thing during pledge drives "we just need 5 more callers then we'll shut the gently caress-up about donations until the 6 o'clock drive time block."

$100 is actually a loving steal considering everything that money will get you: * A one-year subscription to Jindal All the Way, the magazine of all things Bobby Jindal; * That one photograph of Jindal in which he doesn't inspire pity or ridicule; * A signed copy of Bobby Jindal's book My Funniest Tweets; * A small vial of holy water, a crucifix and a thimbleful of chrism - all part of Bobby Jindal's Emergency Exorcism Kit; * A notepad (which is actually Bobby Jindal's book My Funniest Tweets, because the pages are all blank); * A chance to win a dinner with Bobby Jindal at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. ("Dinner" will be a roasted garlic & parmesan pretzel from the SeeSaw Pretzel Shoppe at the Quicken Loans Arena.) I am sending $300 right now!

Malloreon posted:what percentage of republicans would publicly renounce all religions and be barred from attending religious services in exchange for paying 0 federal taxes? not many i suspect, but the fact that religious contributions are voluntary and basically untraceable means you'd see a groundswell of people withholding 0% of their income for federal income taxes in favor of religious contributions. churches are already tax free anyway, so it's not like they have anything to lose by fudging the amount of money their parishioners are contributing. or you'd get an organic outgrowth of theocratic fiefdoms where churches are able to strongarm people into contributing whatever amount they want or else they won't sign off on their annual religious contribution form. then you get the underground market of institutions that have qualified for religious/church status who are willing to "sell" their signature on their religious contribution forms. either way, this is much better than our current income tax system

I get the feeling that you're being sarcastic, but the New Hampshire primary is known for a moderate/establishment voter base that probably does include quite a few TDS watchers (not that that could save Chris Christie).

Nazareth posted:We've been singing the swan song of the Republican Party to no avail since Obama was elected in '08. The thing is, the Republican Party is not going to die. It's going to shift and evolve as it and the Democratic Party has over the years. I wouldn't rule out the GOP just yet, even though outwardly it looks like a cocaine-fueled shitfest. Right. People have been predicting the death of the Republican Party for fifty years now.

The same crap happened around 2004, there's at least a couple books published around then about how the GOP would dominate National politics for the foreseeable future the best is the one by Zell Miller who just comes off as a rambling incoherent old rear end in a top hat, which I guess he is

While those were dumb, that's kind of how it happens. One party loses support and goes into the wilderness for awhile until issues change and voting blocs shift. This generation, I think, is a little slower on the button because of more solidified politics and networks, plus gerrymandering making unequivocal immediate change unnecessary. But it's coming. It could literally be until 2032 if the Dems miss their wave in 2020, but it's coming. edit identity politics loving sucks, i really enjoy how fluid things were in the 50's and 60's

The Republicans infighting is actually good for them and is prepration for this, even if they themselves don't realize it. They're finding out what is going to get them elected in ten or so years, with the gerrymanderign and only a little over half of Americans sick of them they have all the time in the world to figure this poo poo out before it actually matters. Meanwhile the Democrats continue trends that are also making them unelectable, just at a much lesser rate.
