Update. Here are some other Bluish fundraising orgs to avoid.

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.
