"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

these desperate emails from Jaime Harrison are getting to be... a lot.

serioulsy wtf

just the subject headings

i'm sorry

please help

I don't like doing this

please Hadrian

I donated a few weeks ago directly to several of the closest Senate races and then donated to a fund that split the donation to several of these races (as well as a couple of others). I now receive about 5 fundraising emails an hour, every hour, every day from various campaigns. Harrison, Warnock and Ossoff the main culprits, though Cal Cunningham pretty obnoxious as well.

We're falling behind!!! WashPo says we're close! Can you rush us $5?

I just want a gif of Biden sticking his hands in his pockets then pulling the pockets out to show their empty. Is this too much to ask?

LOL totally xp

they're*

jesus

I did the same donate-across-the-board thing, and immediately got the deluge. And just as quickly unsubscribed from everything. On the one hand, I get it. On the other hand, if I've donated once I clearly know about your race. And on the third hand, Jamie Harrison, if I donated to your race multiple times over the past several months, then I not only know about your race, I also know you raked in record amounts of cash, and feel perhaps less pressure to donate even more to you the week before the election when I can donate instead to some other race that hasn't raked in as much.

I donate with Myaddress+actb✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

Half the campaigns use software that doesn’t understand the + so they never email me.

And I have a filter to trash for the rest.

And there are no senate campaigns set up to effectively spend money they receive this late. It’s a genuinely offensive and harmful grift at this point.

Serious "Dawn of the Dead" vibes here:

(I should probably put that in 2020 images)

I am 100% expecting to continue to receive fundraising emails from the Trump campaign post-election.

This might be my favorite political ad so far:

Do y'all get texts about the election?? So fucking annoying and I don't know how to make them stop. I get at least one a day, often more.

I got 2 last week, the only ones I've gotten this cycle.

I get texts every day. and robocalls too

you know you can unsubscribe from those mailing lists (the email ones anyway)

My PA-based parents were complaining about endless texts the other day

I get regular election-related texts for someone named Maria. A lot of people think this is Maria's phone for some reason, but it is not.

Just text “Stop” to the texts

Perry Farrell once texted me, asking what my favorite Jane's Addiction song was, and I never heard from him again.

How did Trump win? If we have to keep asking then we don’t get the commitment of his voters. 10s of millions of them will vote Tues. They’d walk “750 miles” in the freezing cold “just to hear him speak.” I wouldn’t do that to hear Bernie, Biden or JC himself. THAT’s how they win. https://t.co/YwNDE3PV3C

I also get texts aimed at a woman (I can't remember the name; they don't pop up that often) who lives in Wisconsin. I've replied to several of them with:

WRONG NUMBER
NOT (NAME), NOT IN WISCONSIN

A few of them have responded, saying they'll take me off the list.

ritual de lo electoral

They're not from the same org so STOP doesn't work

lol Michael Moore needs to get a clue about Blaire Eskine

Yeah that MM tweet is gold.

The ad linked above is very good. Biden leaning into the "Will you shut up, man?" message as a clear winner.

How did Trump win?
A statistical blip of less than 80K votes and the vagaries of the Electoral College.

Hmm, where should this go? I'll put it ... here:

+5 in Ohio is a real surprise, I pretty much assumed Trump had it in the bag

But what if Trump gets literally every vote from now on?

yeah I thought biden was doing better in Iowa than Ohio

poller probably mixed them up
