I've been begging the DCCC for help. All they do is ask me for $5 again and again. [1]

I've asked you to contact me for months, now there are only days remaining before the King of Rust is on the throne again. I've begged, I've pleaded. I certainly have donated. Now is your LAST CHANCE to have a human being contact me before I walk away. Maybe I'll go to Stinson Beach and walk west until my head is underwater. Maybe I'll go back to the land of my grandfathers. Now is your LAST CHANCE to have a human being contact me before I walk away. Maybe I'll go to Stinson Beach and walk west until my head is underwater. Maybe I'll go back to the land of my grandfathers. Please, do the right thing, do the human thing. This is where you can make a difference, measurably. Just... answer this email with anything that isn't a plea for more money.

That's all you have to do.Context: I naturalized in 2023, and was excited to get to vote, finally (I voted Harris in the primary, too, if I recall correctly). I decided that every time the DCCC asked for money, I’d help. I skipped meals to send $5 a few times a day. I wrote postcards. The Dems outraised the King of Rust 4 to 1 and it was all for nothing. And kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.I asked to talk to someone, anyone. And they kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.In November, after I helped prevent a neighbor’s suicide and struggled with the same intention myself, my baby sister asked me to wait, in case the world regained its sanity between then and Jan 20th. I want to live; passionately; but the universe has to decide with me in it and the King of Rust on the throne again. I have made my peace with the possibility that the universe will make the unhealthy choice. I don’t want to self-destruct slowly and be a burden to my family and friends, so I’ve arranged for a quiet exit, with the hope that I won’t have to take it because the universe will regain sanity at the last minute. I told these things to the DCC. And they kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.And they kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.And they kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.And they kept asking for money, and asking for money, and asking for money.And I have nothing more to give. Money will go to family and friends; hope I am almost out of. But I’ll hold on for another week and a bit, because I made a promise, and I keep mine, unlike the King of Rust.
