From @adam_bonica: "My analysis of… #FEC [filings] reveals that, at most, $11 million of the $678 million raised [by a certain group of Dem PACS] has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees…This represents a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent."

Update. I just got a bullying email from another blue group, #MarchOnPac. It asks me "one last time" to click that I stand against Trump. It says "RESPONSE MISSING" twice, both in all-caps, once in boldface and once in blinking white letters inside a big red box. I unsubscribed.
I'm naming names because I want to deter this behavior. I want more effective coalition building -- much more effective coalition building. Maybe we can't recruit every voter appalled by Trump. But we can avoid unforced errors like treating potential allies as flunkies who owe clicks to every self-appointed group.
@petersuber what do these groups even do? what are they collecting money for?
Update. I'm not surprised to see that this kind of bullying is worse for red voters.

A #Trump PAC recently sent this fundraising email to previous donors: "Your file says you’re a top MAGA patriot...But my records to my survey STILL say: RESPONSE PENDING. Don’t tell me, you’re an Illegal Alien?!? That cannot be true! This is your FINAL MOMENT to Prove me wrong ... please. Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?”
@petersuber
Just like the mob boss that he is, demanding protection money.
@petersuber The Orange Manbaby is bullying his supporters? Gee. I wonder why.
