I wonder if they have ever measured the degree to which they are shooting themselves in the foot with these aggressive tactics? Perhaps they have, and the math works out - but it would not surprise me if they simply don't know.
The relentless, years-long torrent of histrionic, sky-is-falling begging spam I got after making one single donation to one political candidate, one time, ensured that it would be the only time.
- JohnFen 2y agoI've been wondering the same thing for a long time. I once made the mistake of making a political donation, and was then relentlessly hounded for years by all sorts of politicians and political groups. I will never, ever, make that mistake again.
- Kon-Peki 2y ago> they simply don't know I don't think they know. The candidates are worried about the job that they are campaigning for. There is some manager or whatever that is worried about the details and their job is to win the campaign. The next campaign starts anew and is either won or lost - there is no "almost". The volunteers and other workers are almost universally fresh young people doing this for the first time ever. Keep in mind that if you get so frustrated with political party A, switching to political party B doesn't change this experience. So what are you going to do? Not vote at all? It will probably take 5-10 years of not voting before you drop off their lists.
