@ricardoharvin it's not Actblue, they never share your email, they are not a data broker. It is instead the campaigns themselves that sell off their email lists at the end of the campaign, especially when they loose and have debt. I know that doesn't help with the spam, but don't blame Actblue for the actions of some campaigns.

@ricardoharvin this is not to say the the Dems don't have the absolute worst communication style and fundraising system imaginable, but at least they don't convert a one time donation to a monthly contribution like the other side.

@vonslatt They absolutely ARE data brokers. They share my data with their customers far beyond the campaigns to which I chose to give money and allow contact. Act Blue profits from my data well beyond the scope of my intent. The unsolicited solicitations I receive are because Act Blue shared data as part of a package from which they profit. There is no global unsubscribe. If you don't think that's data brokerage then that phrase doesn't mean what you think it means.
