Does anyone else get these emails? You know, the ones with subject lines like:

"We're D00MED"
"NO HOPE!"
"BIDEN IS L0SinG TEXAS"
"We're abandoning Joe Biden"
"BEGGING you"

and let's not forget the monthly "FINAL NOTICE"

Seriously whoever writes these emails needs a Prozac. And no matter how many times you click "unsubscribe," THEY. NEVER. STOP.

It's pretty pathetic and manipulative, but it clearly seems to work or else both parties wouldn't harass people incessantly year after year.

Whether or not they should do this despite any success is another question (with an easy answer, imo).

Yes.   My account has like 13 filters for them now, and I still find new ones every few days that slip through.

I do find it strange that people respond favorably to it. I'd much prefer a politely written paragraph explaining why they need my donation.

I saw some Biden Facebook ad that said "We were outraised" AFTER the latest numbers were mentioned.

I see all these fundraising ads with Chuck Schumer demanding I donate before the FEC deadline, even if it's weeks aways. It will be triple-matched they always say.

Yea, they pushed people to donate to unwinnable races: SC Jaimie Harrison, TX Hegar, MA Joe Kennedy, MT, Steve Bullock sex scandal, KS Barb Bollier, and KY Amy McGrath. They still show McGrath beating McConnell and won't publish any public polls in any of these races and meanwhile, they gave money to Markey, while at the same time Joe Kennedy was asking for money. I said I won;t donate, and i mean it

I tend to donate to local candidates and some of them are better on this than others. I like to keep tabs on how they're doing if they win, but if they send emails like that, it gets on my nerves and I end up unsubscribing. The whole END IS NIGH UNLESS YOU DONATE 10 DOLLARS RIGHT NOW shtick just really ticks me off. They might get donations from it, but sometimes I wonder how effective that really is at getting people inspired to volunteer for the campaign.

Dems had every intention on wnning in those states, but the Covid 19 has taken a toll on phone banking and volunteering especially when you are a challenger like Joe Kennedy going against a machine politician like Markey. He did get volunteers, but not the widespread volunteers that he needed to unseat Markey.

Just like the Prez race, befoere the Covid virus Dems expected 70 M turnout, enough to get Bollier, Bullock and Harrison elected, but with Covid, turnout is gonna be the same as in 2016, 65 M to 62 M for Dems, not enough to get a 413 slide. Enough to win 291-247 just like Trump won with 305 votes like last time

Yeah but it's so damn hyperbolic. I don't know how someone could take those crazy adjectives and all-caps subject lines seriously.

The two most disappointing races that really made things  was gotcha was the MA Senate race ane MT, Senate race. Both Bullock and Joe Kennedy were on top of fundraising before Covid 19, now they will be losers in 2020, due to Bullock scandal

Well, that may not be the case, but Cooney is doing alot better than Bullock is, due to the fact Cooney has endorsed Keystone Pipeline and Bullock has been against it. Keystone is important to MT and Tester like Cooney supports it as well

After the reelection of to the Senate, where is Markey, just like Daines, they pull a fast one on us and disappear, and they both are heavily favored to win reelection in the Fall.

I thought Democrats wanted to keep six feet away from "emails" in general after what happened in 2016.
