Having donated even once to a Democratic candidate or progressive cause, you are punished with a lifetime of incessant spam.

My response: I've crafted email filters that block mail from companies that candidates and causes hire to do their email campaigns.

This means I probably block some worthy things I might actually want to see.

So everyone loses, because political spammers don't value the online community.

@dangillmor Your post makes it sound like a Democrat problem, though. Surely Republicans are the same or worse? (Not that I'm going to try and find out.)

@jaymcgavren @dangillmor They're both awful. I once donated to a democratic campaign at the urging of Pod Save America and the level of spam and "The sky is falling and if you don't donate more right now everyone will die and Nancy Pelosi will personally be disappointed in you" rhetoric was just as bad as the spam I've gotten from Republican candidates.
