yeah i collected a bunch from the DCCC for awhile and theyre basically indistinguishable from scammy spam mail

presumably it's meant to prey on the senile or something

cutting-edge fundraising

yeah they do it because it works, somehow. they a/b test every single element of the emails repeatedly, down to font size and whether a button has a border or no border. and it produces this generic spammy garbage that nonetheless raises money

Ah, thinks the clever montana democratic party staffer, We could just skip the research phase if we send every possible version of our fundraising e-mail to everybody on our list in a ten hour span!

some races outsource their emails to dccc, so i wouldn't be surprised if they were running it.

quist's email program is pretty successful so i guess they've got that going for them, even if their emails are horrible

you'd be surprised, the race is equivalent to a senate race because it encompasses the entire state, which is one of the largest and most populous congressional districts in the country

also, the media market there is apparently relatively costly for a variety of reasons

it's very different from the recent kansas special election, for example, which took place in a relatively tiny area

montana is actually 6 different media markets because nothing can ever be easy. it's surprisingly expensive to be on the air across the state, and it is the largest congressional district by population by far. far from being cheap, montana is actually an expensive place to run a statewide federal campaign - in fact, mt-al was the 8th most expensive race in 2016, despite denise juneau going down by double digits.

MEANWHILE, IN BUTTE MONTANA...

quote:

Wastewater bacteria gorged on grease, got out of control

The “gooey nightmare” that overwhelmed Butte-Silver Bow’s wastewater treatment plant in early April overindulged on grease, possibly bacon grease.

The brown, sponge-like foam that bloomed so badly that the plant had to shut down for six hours is “uniquely good at eating” fatty oils and grease, said Matt Moore, treatment plant operator.

Bacon grease, he added, is a significant problem for Butte’s wastewater treatment plant.

“It’s worse (here) than other cities,’’ he said.

County workers broke a “huge grease dam” around Montana Street and Josette Avenue on March 29 that had been plugging the sewer line. Once those chunks of grease made their way to the treatment plant on Centennial Avenue, the brown bacteria inside the plant engorged itself and bloomed out of control.

The foam grew so large workers opened the plant doors to let the bacteria, which looked like something out of the 1988 Hollywood horror movie "The Blob," roll out.

starting to think that anyone doing a campaign would be better off taking the dccc money and ignoring anything else they offer, because it seems like they suck poo poo at writing emails and making ads

all the dccc money was funneled to the mdp to spend as they will. although i thought the dccc tv ad that i saw was pretty decent

dccc emails are designed to be bad, i don't really understand it but they raise an absurd amount of money somehow. apparently you just write "$5OO,OOO NEEDED" and people donate, whereas if you write a long, moving, and considerate email you'll get like $6
