And the entire enterprise can be frustrating for donors who find themselves bombarded with emails and text messages.
Jesus Christ, this. I donated a to a lot of campaigns during the Trump years and I’m still being punished for it with a ridiculous amount of phone calls, text messages, and emails from political campaigns. No fucking way am I gonna invite even more of that shit into my life. I’ll donate something at some point, but I’m going to try to lump it all into a single donation to hopefully limit the number of people who think I’m a piggy bank.
