If you’ve ever given money to a political campaign-even one-then like me you are probably getting about thirty fundraising emails a day. Clearly, based on what I get, people’s respond to different messages. Consider the subject lines in emails I received one after the other:
- NOTHING CAN STOP US (all caps in original)
- We risk losing everything
Both from Democrats of course. I imagine Republicans are getting the same sort of messages.
Now, I suppose one can make the argument that both those statements are true, but it’s undeniable that they’re sending decidedly mixed messages. As for me, I’m still picking and choosing; though I did break down and give some more money to the DCCC because I liked the guy who called, and my wife, a friend and I had just finished a bottle of wine.
