A lot of people are interested in engaging in serious discussion and the fact that people have to be constantly on their toes for some sort of troll IEDs and the forum jihadists laying them is tiresome at best.

Ossoff will lose by triple digit margins demonstrating how out of touch the Democratic Party is with voters in states that haven't patched their voting machines in over a decade.

Yes, actually.

I use a set I got from craigslist and a homemade bench press stand.

I do cardio in front of the TV for House of Cards too (bike).

Honestly, I only do non-cardio workouts once a week or so.

no. i've seen posts in this thread, tweets, talked to a friend, from people who were on the mailing list for the campaign. several of them had said they've received multiple emails like this. as in, more than one. as in, this is their consistent messaging.

It's definitely real.

I did professional fundraising work and the most effective asks for people who are already supporters are always: "Something unstoppable is coming. We're doomed."

To motivate them to go "OH YEAH? I BET WE CAN STOP THE UNSTOPPABLE THING!"

There's a 99% chance that whoever got this email either: A) Gave money previously or B) Took some sort of affirmative action to sign up for the emails.

When they do professional fundraising emails to huge audiences, they usually do three different blasts.

1) Mass asks to supporters/already committed people telling them that they are doomed.

"Help! We're definitely going to lose. All the bad things you hate are going to happen. We can only try to fight and pray (and maybe you could help us?)"

2) Mass asks to people interested in a certain thing, but not necessarily supporters.

Get a list of people subscribed to a hunting enthusiast magazine or website and assume that a portion of them are highly motivated by this issue.

"XXX wants to make hunting illegal! We're trying to stop them! Can you pitch in?"

3) Big donors/Advocacy Organizations or Foundations

"We did XXX that you care about. Here's some links to our accomplishments and media sources praising us. We make effective use of your money!"

It works.

Whoever is running it has almost assuredly run a professional fundraising operation before and is using either a MailChimp/Constant Contact fundraising blast schedule.

Fundraising emails to committed/lean-supporters are not designed to be public messaging vehicles.
