I say it ‘like it is’ on this website. I do not throw punches, but what is said here is just the truth.
So, the first thing I would like to say is that the Democratic Party is CRIMINAL in the way that they advertise for contributions. I would imagine the Republican Party is the same way, but I actually believe the Democrats are absolutely guilty when it comes for begging money. They brag on not accepting large amount donations and receive all of their funs from small donors. That is true. But how many text messages do I receive each and every day where the Democratic party is asking for money to help support their cause? The answer… Almost 100 messages each week. They try and make it my cause and, in most cases, it is just that. But I refuse to donate to an organization, regardless of which party is represented, even my own, regardless of the cause because I feel that they are invading my privacy, as I read every text sent to me, and that just wastes time. Each and every election season is that way. Honestly, it’s disgusting.
Then I get messages like, ‘whatever you donate, we will match 5 times’. Really?\/??
If you CAN match what I send, then why ask for my donation and just put in 5 times an amount that YOU would like me to donate. After all, you are supposed to represent us. We elected you to do the job to protect the American people, to protect us. Now you want our money to do it. Our vote to put you in office wasn’t enough. All you need from me is my vote, and you already have that, so stop with the harassments.
What the Democratic party needs to worry about are the turnouts for the election. If Democrats actually came out to vote in the last election, Trump would not be sitting in the White House. He would be sitting in jail.
Heck, in most cases, the beggers are a Congressman or one running for Congress, and they make a ton of money, get free healthcare for life, and I’m lucky to live on what I make and I have to worry about paying doctors bills.
If I donated $10 each time I received such a text message request, I would have donated my Social Security income for almost an entire year just to donate to the Democratic Party. Then they say if I don’t respond, then I must be voting for Trump. That’s a low punch and the Democratic party is very wrong in doing this.
What they are asking from their constituents should be a CRIME. They ask via text because it is easy and it’s so cheap to do. When you donate the first time in the past, now they have your phone number or email address and nothing seems to stop them for outright harassing you to donate money via text messaging. The Democratic Party is VERY SAD in this respect!
