I hate how everyone follows the social marketing playbook now. There’s so little community building and genuine connection with constituents. Everything is optimized by some social media marketing guru types with a masters degree in being an asshole.

One of the biggest red flags that you might be getting conned is when they try to rush your decision. “It’s an emergency, your grandson is in jail and needs $500 to get bailed out, no you can’t hang up we need it now or he gets put in a cell with rapist bob.”
Not saying this is a scam, just saying the tactic feels predatory. Do better, dems.

Yeah, please just talk to me like a person instead of advertising at me. Manipulation may work, but it’s not the kind of interaction I want to have with my representatives.

I donate quite a bit and I’ve only found AOC and Bernie (big surprise) to be ones that are looking for something other than “send me another check” as a follow-up to your donation.

It’s for sure a scam and nothing you said was wrong
