One lesson the #NDP and the slate of leadership contestants definitely haven't learned is sending 500 fundraising emails for each email about actual party activities or political topics.

Just a 24-7 flood of "donate donate donate".

not all the campaigns were the same. Tanille Johnston's campaign bombarded me. And the party itself. The rest weren't as heavy.

@johnefrancis The real cost of a donation, political or charitable, isn't the money you give up for the cause.

It's the forever spam.

@johnefrancis 100%. If they only ask for money and never actually mobilize you, then then don't want your input. They don't want your ideas. They want you to donate, vote, and STFU.
@OrionKidder the other parties, provincial or federal, were as bad or worse, when I was engaged with them, at other times
@johnefrancis True! I'm a BC Greens member, and they do the same thing. Nobody seems to know how to, or be interested in, *mobilizing* their members. It's maddening.
@johnefrancis Alberta NDP have a 100:1 ratio between (issue+fundraising or pure fundraising):(solicit concerns)

@johnefrancis

I've lost count of how many I've received this past week alone. I'm starting to just delete without reading.
