I think it was way back when there was a poll on gop.com asking how we'd rate Trump's performance and the choices were "Great" "Good" "Okay" or "Other". I helped pad the "Other" numbers and then got one of my e-mails on it, so I'm getting mail from "Donald J. Trump". I honestly don't know who they have on the payroll for composing and sending these out, but while most of them are typical "give us money" e-mails, there are some that are a bit of a laugh.

Such as the one I got a couple of days ago suggesting that the intent to get the DOJ to investigate the "Obama spying" is going to be the biggest political upheaval in history, "Worse than Watergate".

Or the one I got back around Christmas time. The subject heading of the e-mail was "Christmas card" and I'm like "Wow, I wonder what kind of Christmas card Trump would send to his supporters". I opened the e-mail and it was instead asking for me to send the Trump family a Christmas card, and also some money.

So yeah, I could unsubscribe (maybe, haven't actually tried to see if it would be successful), but there's a bit of a sick fascination in seeing what the office is sending their constituents. It's not as poorly put-together as a Trump tweet, mind, but it's not much more than a couple steps above in relevance and coherence.

I considered doing such a thing, but I assumed I wouldnt be able to leave the mailing list so I decided not to.

Yep, I'm on the mailing list for I assume the same reason. Although I've supported some GOP candidates in the past so maybe my email got passed around.

I always want to unsubscribe but it kind of amuses me, and I love the polls with no bad options available, lol.

Eh, every so often. Most of the time it's just kinda sad.

The best mail I saw in the past year or so was one about Roy Moore needing to take on everybody and get lawsuit money. It was shared on the internet.

literally all political emails are fundraising requests

that's what they do with most of their time in office

I was part of a Bernie Bro mailing list that flooded my inbox after I unsubscribed three different times. They finally stopped on the fourth try when. I slightly melted down on them.


latest sanders one:

Title: I'm running

Body: For re-election to the senate. And I need money!

I get letters from Trump, Melania and Don Jr. Sometimes receive pictures, too.

Oh I get it. Believe me, I get it. 80% of being in office is asking for money so you can run again and it's sad. I'm just saying what I thought was a Christmas card to supporters was instead a Christmas card to Trump and that made me laugh.

yeah it is amusing

but you gotta remember that the only reason to be on an email list for a politician is because you want to donate

I like to consider it a kind of low-value oppo research

I just want to do it for any possible lolz like Roy Moores bullshit, but I would consider it a kind of opposition research.
