shortform answer here is that rw actors have historically gone after young teens / adults by fusing popular culture with rw rhetoric, which is why you see a lot of young people with Those Kinds Of Ideologies floating around. also a lot of old people do yoga. this is my anthropology degree at work

there is a structuralist justification for this take

one of the nice things about the younger gen-z political staffers is they have better accuracy of the cultural pulse, which produces bangers like these

anyways that's why everyone gets a flood of donor solicitation correspondence around september/october. it's when the polling starts to solidify, and the major party organs can start funneling what's left of their war chest into TV ads in close races. i'm relieved not to be working this cycle. 7/7

mikkeli and the antlers @popstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

of small note: "small donors" are being blanketed with these solicitations because a lot of 'progressive' candidates want to (at least) say they're "people powered" and don't take PAC money, but that is almost always smoke and mirrors if you're opting into this type of fundraising apparatus.

i do admit it's annoying, and the staff who deal with frustrated (and sometimes outright violent) feedback from previous donors about the spam are aware and wish it was a solvable problem at scale. my personal solution is to just set up reoccuring donations and unsubscribe to further communications

mikkeli and the antlers @popstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

as an example: you might donate $20 to AOC because you like her vibe. that donor info is available to fundraising staff at d-trip, DSCC, individual campaigns, etc. these orgs don't talk to each other about who they're soliciting, which is ultimately why you end up with an inbox like this.

mikkeli and the antlers @popstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

unlike voter outreach tools like NGPVAN, the internal party tools for donor outreach are available to candidates and coordinating committees (and sometimes PACs) that are completely agnostic to the campaigns you may vote in. fundraising is a do-or-die sport for close races, which explains the volume

mikkeli and the antlers @popstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

actblue (and the GOP's winred) aggregates donor info to other campaigns, and there's no real information to cross-check. after the '16 cycle, the party realized that donor propensity followed ideological, rather than geographic or demographic, adherences for the first time. they adjusted accordingly

mikkeli and the antlers @popstar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

this is unfortunately an endemic and cross-party problem. i've worked campaigns for over a decade ('08 cycle to '25 local) and one of the big issues around how donor and voter data is used is that there is no big, unifying entity that governs outreach coordination. 1/x

once October rolls around I am going to start posting more about polling and what the GE environment will look like, but a brief look ahead: - trust in polling has been shaky the last few cycles, with some big misses - however, the current trends are impossible to ignore: strong Dem performance
