Democratic Fundraising for GA

I received the following ActBlue email:

"After emailing you so many times about how important the Georgia Senate Runoffs are, we thought all good Democrats would be rushing to donate. But we were WRONG.
● When we told you that control of the Senate depended on the outcome of the Georgia Senate Runoffs? NOTHING.
● When we told you we would LOSE without 50,000 gifts to fund our Voter Turnout Program?? NOTHING.
● And when we told you that all gifts were 350-Matched? STILL NOTHING."

We've already donated through ActBlue, and may donate again. However, taking a page from Trump's emails, essentially threatening, intimidating and insulting people into donating, is not the way it should be. Whoever decided this is the way to appeal to donors needs to take another look.

Just my opinion.
