@DanMorgan @vmstan Opt out at the provider level. Nuking NGPVAN killed the majority of the crap I get #ngpvan
Tired of solicitations #NGPVAN? I've found a solution! They're quick to tell you email lists are provided by candidates, and they are just a service. They'd rather you have to manually unsubscribe from every rando in every race across the country who has bought/sold your contact info. But you can blanket opt-out of NGPVAN's service: Email [email protected] with subject Opt Out.
#NGPVAN really doesn't want to add you to their block list because they make a fee for every email they send on behalf of candidates. So they are sneaky. Once you send your opt-out they'll reply from a different email trying to dissuade you, one more click to be done with them.

It's good to see someone with experience and a large following raising the issue of the abusive level of #Democratic #fundraising (and the opportunistic #ParasiticPACs scamming people).
And I like that Pfeiffer highlights some things we all can do to highlight it.
I'd add NGP VAN to the list of entities that could help manage this. I unsubscribe from campaign emails daily - almost all are via #ngpvan. You'd think they'd figure out a way to do a global unsubscribe from fundraising emails. There's almost no meaningful content in campaign emails or texts, just $ asks

Fun story: I'm getting political emails from the mayor of KC, MO. I don't live in KC-proper. Never have, don't care to. Never signed up or gave him money.
When I click unsubscribe, it doesn't work because one of my various bad traffic filters jumps in and kills the connection. Totally checks out and smells of NGPVAN. Who, for the record, can go to hell.
I'm watching three things on guaging Dem enthuiasm, and the state of the US Presidential race on the Kamala side. Each quantifiable.
1. #actblue giving
2. #NGPVan stats on volunteer activity
3. And this, voter registration data as it comes in via the states
Each has been some pretty great news. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/13/upshot/democrats-voter-registration.html?smid=threads-nytimes cc: @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews #Kamala
