(C) Daily Kos This story was originally published by Daily Kos and is unaltered. . . . . . . . . . . Polls not as productive? Now it is a "focus group" [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-02 The age of the constant campaign, and constant political fundraising is quite soul-crushing I am SO tired of being dinged for money constantly by political campaigns, consultants, and Daily Kos. Apparently the bogus polls that ALWAYS end with a pitch for Act Blue are not as productive as they had been in the past. So now we are asked to take part in a Focus Group! They want our opinions! Not really. It was just another money ask. Just like the bogus polls, the opinions being requested are from a list of obvious Democratic priorities so there is nothing with which to disagree. And just like the bogus polls, this was nothing more than an attempt to shame me out of money. Because of the shaming, I find this method to be even MORE disgusting than the polls. “Do you think that it is important that campaigns have sufficient funding early on?” “Are you willing to donate $100 for this?” ARGHHHHH!
