It's worth noting that we don't even have a Federal Election Commission during this ongoing election[1].

Just the other day, I was reading through the platform of Craig Keller (Rep-D7) in my wife's copy of the official Washington voters' guide.

I've learned that apparently, H1B visa-holders don't pay any social security taxes. This is news to both me, and the IRS, since I've payed tens of thousands of dollars in social security taxes over the years of being on an H1B.

This raises an obvious question - should I invoice the candidate making this claim, his donors, his voters, or his party leadership, for a return of that money?

The same growth hacking techniques that make for annoying landing pages with huge CTA buttons and fake countdown timers has made it to political fundraising.

I had definitely noticed that the political emails I've been getting (my email has probably been sold and resold countless times).

The point of this isn't to reveal a deep secret; it's to provide quantified evidence. So there's no need to post comments of mock shock.

Manipulative tactics are the norm in political mailings, too. They just take different forms.

Maybe even one could say that manipulative tactics are the norm in politics.

I’m getting an unprecedented level of political spam via text. It’s really, really annoying.

Democracy is a popularity contest. Why is this surprising?

Also, water wet.

Some of these are good examples for use in your cold emails.

Could you remove the word "political" and make the same headline assertion?

Why wouldn't they be? Neither party offers anything of economic value to anyone that isn't rich so the only way they'll get people to click is a bag of tricks.

I'm shocked, shocked that campaign emails would be so biased, partisan, and maniuplative! Shocked!
