Runaway,
You've been hearing a lot about the importance of campaign fundraising recently, and I wanted to take a second to explain more about a big piece of that: Our opponents' massive fundraising lead.
Donald Trump and the RNC have more than $240 million in the bank for the general election. That's a historically unparalleled number -- in huge part because of when they started. At every turn, Trump has used his office as an opportunity to campaign instead of lead, and he's already begun to spend his war chest on attack ads against Joe Biden. We’ve always known that Democrats don’t need to match Trump’s fundraising numbers dollar for dollar, but we can’t afford to fall further behind and let our candidates face Republican attacks without our full support.
We’ve built an incredibly strong Democratic Party infrastructure in the last three years, and we’re in a good position to capitalize on these efforts as we get closer to November. That said, our financial disadvantage puts us in a tough position. A lack of resources means we’re less able to plan ahead and act strategically, and that could have major consequences for our presidential nominee and Democrats down the ballot. That's why I'm asking you to do something important today:
Will you make a $7 donation to the DNC today to close the gap on Trump's fundraising lead and help Joe Biden and Democrats in competitive races fight back? Every bit helps.
DONATE: $7
DONATE: $10
DONATE: $25
DONATE: $50
DONATE: $100
Donate another amount
Since Tom Perez took over as chair in early 2017, the DNC has made unprecedented investments in organizing, data and technology infrastructure, and voter protection efforts. We know that the presidential election is likely to be an incredibly close race, and with so many House and Senate seats up for grabs, we can’t risk not fully funding these critical programs.
That’s where you come in, Runaway. Grassroots supporters like you are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party, and victories up and down the ballot this November require your early support.
With just 184 days until the most consequential election of our lifetimes, we need Democrats like you to commit to our shared goals now, while there’s still time to make a difference. Can I count on your $7 today?
Thanks and stay safe,
Patrick
Patrick Stevenson
Chief Mobilization Officer
Democratic National Committee
P.S. Trump’s fundraising advantage is arguably the single biggest reason he could be reelected. The good news: You can fight back, Runaway. Make a $7 donation and help close the gap today.

For Runaway, best to aim for the Femoral artery, just adjacent to the right, or left, tesiticle. Either being ruptured will result in the Runaway having to quickly reconfigure his ideology, to match that of the Lord. May Runaway be enrolled amounst the numbers of the Saints, but first he will have to quit being such a dick, and recognize that Jesus is, after all, Mexican. Fuck you, Runaway, as all Hell fucks you, in the anus, with no preparation. We will kill you, and in Hell they will fuck you, and there is nothing you can say, or do, about it. You pathetic excuse for a man!

Runaway just misses the days when Hilary Clinton was his First Lady! He used to whorship the ground she walked on, and even sold her some in a place called "Whitewater". But, his love was unrequited. So he turned to barnyard animals, and started voting Republican, and eventually just became a typical Arkansas red-necked hillbilly pigfucker, the way you see him today. But before you judge too harshly, remember what Runaway was, what he could have become, not what he has degenerated into, that is so deplorable. That was the one that cut deepest. His Lady, calling him deplorable. Enough to make the strongest man curl into a ball and cry, and Runaway is not the strongest of men. Unless we are talking smell. Or bullshit. Or sockpuppetry. Other than that, very weak. Cowardly, almost. Kinda a dick.

this is quite common, but then, don't call it "feedback". Oh wait they are politicians, lefties, they need a committee to go to the bathrooom.
The pearl from the italosoviet union, the lefties are more outside than inside the constitution (In Italy the application of law does not follow binary logic), so they want citizens to sign a certification, that they need to do X and are aware of the lockdown laws at the regional and state level. Why? because it's quite easier to fine you for having signed and lied than to prove they are right in limiting your mobility.
So, they emit one certification pdf. Well, ok. Then they amend it two days later. Then two more versions in one month. and finally The task force of experts in all fields proves its valor (actually I thought it was the government so the experts in all fields were already under contract, no, they had to hire new ones): at version 5, after one month, the certification is finally... pdf with form fields!
HURRAY I can actually stop using a pen, or inkscape, to compile a fucking form! China, move over, we hi tech nao.

The sole, nontrivial fact in that spam email is interesting. Trump has been raising money [foxnews.com] ever since early 2017 in strong contrast to other presidents. That story was published in March 2019 and indicates as of then, Trump already had $130 million in his warchest(s) by the end of 2018. Neither G. W. Bush or Obama had more than $4 million by that point. This is a huge contrast to his fund raising performance [theguardian.com] in the 2016 election where he was barely above water after receiving the nomination ($1.3 million in the bank versus $42.5 million for Clinton).
It'll be interesting to see whether that money makes a difference.
