Inside the Democrats’ Campaign Spam Machine
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
“Democracy is doomed unless you give $15 RIGHT NOW.” Sound familiar? Those alarmist texts flooding your phone are part of a Democratic fundraising machine Stanford political science professor Adam Bonica says is more scam than strategy — sending millions to consultants while actual campaigns see a small fraction. We’ll talk about how the system works, who profits and why changes could be on the horizon.
Guests:
Adam Bonica, associate professor of political science, Stanford University - his Substack is called "On Data and Democracy"
Brian X. Chen, lead consumer technology writer, The New York Times
