Citations behind paywalls

This 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)[reply]

For future reference, this is footnote 20. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 04:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've resolved the issue by adding a link to an archived copy of the article that's free to access. Historical-idealist (talk) 14:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But Their Emails

How the Democrats’ online outreach strategy went haywire.

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.”

Mothership Strategies

Open Secrets

I 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.

https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/national-democratic-training-cmte/C00603084/summary/2018

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)[reply]
