Biden wrecked...(NOBODY was ready for this!) posted:

We are absolutely DEVASTATED!
⬇⬇ Joe Biden and Donald Trump are now TIED In Florida!! ⬇⬇
FLORIDA POLLING: JOE BIDEN AND DONALD TRUMP TIED
EMERGENCY FUNDRAISING GOAL: We talked to our accountants and we need to raise $50,000 by MIDNIGHT to get back on track! Rush $5 right now and we’ll 500%-MATCH it to RUIN Trump's presidency >>
500%-MATCH ACTIVE: DONATE TO DEFEAT TRUMP >>
It’s simple.
If Joe Biden loses Florida, he LOSES the Electoral College… Donald Trump will WIN. (NO!!!)
That’s why Trump and his allies have already spent over $82 MILLION to DOMINATE Florida.
So we’re RACING to raise as much as we can in these final 20 days until the election.
If Democrats step up, we can DEMOLISH Trump!!
If Democrats DON’T step up, we’ll be forced to suffer another 4 years of a Donald Trump presidency…
So, are you with us? Please chip in whatever you can (500%-MATCHED!!) by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to DEFEAT Donald Trump >>

I have had the unfortunate fate of being on some email list at some point, which has been sold to drat near every campaign in the country. I've gotten emails from every drat campaign, no matter how little hope they have of winning. It's just become routine for me to mark them as spam or to unsubscribe from them and move on. Some however, make me laugh at how loving awful they are at getting me to even care about the candidate. While other emails can make me borderline mad enough to want to spite vote trump (I'm not going to libs, voting is for chumps). Above is an email that made me laugh (not shown are the geocities graphics they use), here's one that made me angry.

JIM JORDAN IS LAUGHING AT US posted:

RQC, we only have 7 hours left in our campaign to defeat Republicans like Jim Jordan.

When we emailed you? Nothing.
When we urged you? Nothing.
When we told you that we needed support to take on GOP mega-donors? Nothing at all!

But we're still $8,954 short of our goal to defeat Republicans like Jim Jordan and elect Progressives. And we're nearly out of time.

Coming up short is NOT an option, RQC. We need your help to DEFEAT Republicans like Jim Jordan >>
RUSH $5 TO DEFEAT REPUBLICANS LIKE JIM JORDAN →

If we hit our goal, we'll show Jim Jordan's corporate backers that our Progressive movement is far more powerful than them.

But if we fail, Rep. Jordan will have full reigns to target our Progressive leaders with unrelenting attacks.

Jim and his right-wing friends are backed by conservative billionaires, so if we don't hit our fundraising goals now, we'll have no chance to defeat them.

This is too important, RQC. There's no other way to put it. Please chip in right now to defeat Republicans like Jim Jordan →

drat, that really makes me want to take my reduced salary wages and drop it into this organizations bucket!! Hell yeah. If theres anything I love more than being voter shamed, its being political donation shaming.

This doesn't include the flood of emails I get about how "WE'RE LOSING THE BATTLE!!!" and "WE DONT KNOW WHAT WE'LL DO IF YOU DONT CONTRIBUTE!!" and of course my favorite "hey, are you up?" which is no joke, an email I got from Jaime Harrison.





So please, if you have also been cursed with such a fate, post some of your own favorite emails received from dem candidates that make you feel an emotion.

if you want to win red states move out of your blue enclaves upper class libs. alternatively, libs abandoning these states is partly why theyve gone so red

I, too donated to the Obama campaign. The quantity of shrill wailing in my promotions tab is unreal. I would think about flagging them as spam but that would mean engaging with them at all.

I was expecting a phone call from a new number earlier this week and you know that the DSCC used that as a chance to shill for money. I merely said with disgust that I already voted and hung up. And I have a really hard time being rude to people in person or on the phone but Jesus Christ if the constant cashgrab alarmism hasn't hardened my heart into a tiny black lump of coal and disdain.

REALLY QUEER CHRISTMAS, Texas is officially within our reach. TEXAS! Election experts say that if Joe Biden wins Texas, President Trump won’t win the Electoral College and his presidency will be FINISHED. Bernie Sanders even predicted if Trump loses Texas it’ll be OVER. So now we have a once-in-a-lifetime to flip Texas BLUE and elect Progressives here and around the country. But to do that we need to raise $40,000 by TONIGHT...and we still need [16] small-dollar gifts from your state to stay on track to hit our goal, so please chip in now →
RUSH $5 TO FLIP TEXAS →
RUSH $15 TO FLIP TEXAS →
Donald Trump is getting nervous. He’s TERRIFIED of losing ruby red Texas.

No Democratic presidential candidate has won Texas since 1976!

But Joe Biden is now only ONE POINT behind Trump, so Republicans are rushing in to crush our Progressives in Texas and beyond.

SO REALLY QUEER CHRISTMAS: Tonight’s deadline has never been more critical.
REALLY QUEER CHRISTMAS, RUSH A DONATION RIGHT NOW TO ELECT PROGRESSIVES IN TEXAS AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO DEFEAT TRUMP:
CHIP IN $5 RIGHT NOW →CHIP IN $35 RIGHT NOW →CHIP IN $50 RIGHT NOW →CHIP IN $100 RIGHT NOW →CHIP IN $250 RIGHT NOW →Or chip in another amount  →

REALLY QUEER CHRISTMAS So we’re rushing to raise $35,000 to DEFEAT vile Republicans like Devin Nunes before Election Day.

REALLY QUEER CHRISTMAS, this could be our ONLY chance to kick Republicans like Devin Nunes out of Congress.

So we called on Progressives like you to help us elect Progressives in Texas and throughout the nation... and YOU. RESPONDED.



Texas donations SKYROCKETING

But we still need to raise another $21,289 to hit our goal by SUNDAY. If we come up short, we could LOSE this momentum.

Will you chip in to elect Progressives and FLIP TEXAS BLUE?
CHIP IN $5 TO ELECT PROGRESSIVES AND FLIP TEXAS →

Donald Trump’s lead in Texas has EVAPORATED. Joe Biden has a one point lead in this conservative stronghold.

If Biden can win Texas, there’s no way Trump wins the election!

That’s exactly why we promised we’d raise $40,000 to elect Progressives in Texas and across the country, but we need your help, RQC:

Will you chip in at least $5?
CHIP IN $5 TO ELECT PROGRESSIVES AND FLIP TEXAS →

$15 →

$35 →
$50 →

$100 →

Other →

DON’T FORGET RQC: This election could come down to the Electoral College. And we’ve got to fight to win every state and every district.

That’s why winning in Texas is so vital.

If we can win in Texas, Progressives can win EVERYWHERE. But if we don’t, Trump could still steal the election.

Will you rush $5 right now to get us started?

The one thing lost by my copying and pasting is the utter insanity of their bolding and different colors. Almost every paragraph is its own color and random sentences and words are just bolded like they learned english from listening to a parrot taught only from simpsons episodes. But I did bold that one bit at the end there because... I was to assume that the election wasn't going to be decided by the electoral college prior to this????

Because everytime i see that it just disgusts me at the blatant manipulation and outright "I'm a big fat loser!!!" energy that just radiates from it. Like really, does that appeal to anyone??

the whole charities/ngos which are grifts which exist only to raise awareness of this or that thing (and be a career vehicle) makes a lot more sense when you realize how many political parties are the same thing except with lowering rather than raising awareness (in general)

I feel like they took the lessons from Obama’s successful tech strategies during the 2008 and 2012 campaign and stretched them out to the point of parody, as so many other value extraction efforts have become under capitalism. It’s histrionic to the point of looking desperate and borderline 419. A reputable organization doesn’t send comms like this.

EMBARRASSING defeat posted:

Alan Cohn for Congress

OCTOBER 29th: Trump AND Biden in Tampa to tip the scales in “statistically tied” race

FL-15 is not only the most flippable seat in Florida -- my race could DECIDE the 2020 Presidential election.

Even Fox News admitted it!

I’m now hearing that not only is Trump here, my Republican opponent is BEGGING big GOP donors to rush him cash.

They want to outraise us before I get on stage with Biden in 6 hours and hand me an EMBARRASSING defeat.

I refuse to let that happen.

All gifts are being TRIPLE-MATCHED for the next 6 hours to STOP the GOP from outraising us. If we fail, I stand to lose one of the most consequential House races in the country. I need 372 Democrats to make their plan BACKFIRE. Will you step up with $5? >>

Here’s the plan:

-- On stage, Biden and I will lay out our plans to help EVERY American. Across town Trump will be spewing his vitriolic lies.

-- Behind the scenes, I am calling for a surge of donations from my supporters that will have THREE TIMES the impact.

-- I’m going to shock my opponent by raising $15,268 and hand him a HUMILIATING defeat.

RQC, I know I can win this race, but I can’t afford to get outraised with only 5 days until the election. I need your help now more than ever before.

I need 372 donations from Democrats across the country to pull it off. Will you rush a TRIPLE-MATCHED $5 before I get on stage with Biden in 6 hours? >>

(Alert) Barack Obama’s big announcement: posted:

President Obama just sounded the alarm RQC!

He just held an EXPLOSIVE rally to win this CRUCIAL swing-state for Joe Biden and DEMANDED Democrats do more:
Obama: The next days will matter for decades to come.
Make a 600%-Matched Donation to DEFEAT Trump in Pennsylvania $5 ➞

** 600%-MATCH ACTIVATED FOR JONATHAN TO FLIP PENNSYLVANIA BLUE **

RQC -- we are SHAKING:

-- Barack Obama told everyone we must do more to take down Trump.

-- And a new poll shows that Donald Trump just sliced apart Joe Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania they are nearly TIED:
PENNSYLVANIA POLL, BIDEN 49%, TRUMP 47%

-- Now we need $100,000 before tomorrow night so that we can expand our efforts in Pennsylvania to defeat Trump.
Yes! I'll make a 600%-Matched Donation to fund a Democratic Pennsylvania Campaign to DEFEAT Trump ➞

The Presidential Election is in 6 Days and Joe Biden is a measly 2 POINTS ahead of Donald Trump in PENNSYLVANIA.

In 2016: Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by 1 point.

We cannot afford to let him get ahead by a single point.

If we fall short of our goal, we’ll have to abandon Pennsylvania. Listen to President Obama and chip in to hand Trump an UNMISTAKABLE defeat:

Oh, well if Obama asked democrats to do more than I guess I can sit on the sidelines since im not a democrat :smuggo:

I may edit out my name in the future and post screenshots because man are you guys missing all the different color and font changes they love doing. It reminds me of websites from the 90s, they're just so bad.
