Likewise with email and snail-mail addresses. Last election I contributed to a candidate I greatly respected. I got such a stream of fund-raising letters and emails that I did not contribute this cycle. Transfer of personal information ought to be purely opt-in. Until it is, I’m opting-out of donations.
I only donate on line and still get tons of texts - pain in the ass but the reality is that fund raising is a huge part of a successful campaign so I tolerate it.
As the President says, the cure should not be worse than the problem and if everyone opted to not donate, we’d be stuck in Biden-Land - where once the ride starts, nobody ever gets off.
