Citations behind paywalls
editThis applies more widely, but footnote 20 cannot be accessed due to the Washington Post's paywall. Non-pay walled sources are preferable, along with more complete and clear statements about the information in the cited source. In the case of footnote 20, the reader is unable to find more detail about the vaguely referenced fundraising criticism. ClathrateRemonte (talk) 01:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

- Kenneth Pennington, the former digital director of Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, calls this a “churn and burn” approach that exploits voters. “A dirty secret in the email fundraising industry is that most of the people giving are senior citizens,” he told the New Republic in an email. “For a less net-savvy generation some of these emails that put you on ‘FINAL NOTICE’ are confusing and scary enough. The prospect that your donation will be quadruple-matched may also be enticing, if you really believe it.”

editI was trying to figure out how much of the NDTC revenue went to programs, and how much of it went to overhead. I couldn't figure it out.
In 2017-2018, they spent a total of $6,557,222, and $2,708,002 (41.66%) on fundraising. That seems pretty high.
They gave Mothership Strategies $2,398,561. Is that the same as "fundraising"?
Can anybody confirm that? --Nbauman (talk) 21:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
