Ugh--hate the inevitable FLOOD of fear/impending disaster fundraiser emails [View all]

I know this subject has been talked about ad nauseum, but one reason I hate contributing to campaigns is the inevitable flood of fundraising emails, en masse, that will flood my inbox. Worse they are always predicting catastrophic events if you don’t send more money RIGHT NOW. It is non stop and so formulaic. Do these PACS really think people respond to these emails? Or do people, like me, scramble to put them in SPAM and become reluctant to donate again?

There is enough anxiety in this world that poeple don’t need more. And I get sick of the obvious attempts to manipulate by stoking fear. Just let me donate without BLASTING me with spam for every Democratic race in the entire country.
