Could there be less compelling messaging?
Here's one of ten or fifteen liberal fundraising emails I received over night. This one's over the name of Ken Burns, and is from MoveOn/ActBlue--but any third grader could replace the first dependent clause and this message could have come from my barista or hair stylist.
David,
As a documentary filmmaker, I have long attempted to tell the American story. I look at the larger picture. I try to place things in context.
American democracy is fragile. We must be vigilant and respect, defend, and improve the institutions that define who we are.
I sincerely hope no one responds to this uninspired fear-based marketing copy.
Our democracy is already a joke. Our constitution failed, hoisted on the states rights/federalism compromise. And, I beg your pardon, there is no institution in the US government that defines who I am. If you want my money, stop making me fighting mad at you for a needless insult, You do not know me, and your market research is for shit if you approved this idiotic auto-generated spam,
Have some intellectual balls, folks. You think there's a single person on your list who doesn't see the other half of our two-party system as the lessor of two evils? Anyone who thinks liberal democrats will do anything meaningful other than hold off the slide into the swamp for a few days?
If you want my money, you need to at least use the word "hope." I won't send a penny unless I see the word "revolution," and I'll block any message that mentions the boring, not particularly bright DNC.
Stop insulting me with your cloddish cut and paste harassment. At least run this stuff through ChatGPT before you spam me. And embarrass your celebrity of the day.
And say hi to Ken Burns for me...I'm sure he remembers me! Fewer repetitive stills in your next project, if possible, Ken.
