Can I put this on my hinge profile

exactly

The DNC has started taking on scam PACs, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg. We can and should be willing to steal some tactics from MAGA — just look at Newsom’s trolling.

But we can’t become grifters.

And we have to call it out when we see it.

Unfortunately, while spam is illegal, anyone whose inbox is full of political emails they never signed up for knows that this is basically never enforced.

And that’s the problem.

Opportunities for political grift are out of control right now.

If one of the biggest accounts on Substack is inflating his readership by spamming people who never subscribed, it hurts and delegitimizes other liberal-leaning creators.

Plus, it’s illegal!

How did a fundraising consultant become one of the most subscribed-to Substacks?

I’m going to guess that Mike Nellis is mass-uploading his clients’ email lists to pump up his Substack numbers.

I emailed both Mike and Substack several days ago for comment. I haven’t heard back.

Just for perspective, Mike has more Substack subscribers than Aaron Parnas, a content creator with 8 million followers across social media platforms.

He also has more than MeidasTouch, one of the biggest progressive independent media outlets in America.

What does Mike do for a living?

He’s a digital fundraising consultant. He also ran White Dudes for Harris last year.

He has 114K followers on Twitter and 47K on TikTok.
Solid — but a long way from 1.3M Substack subscribers.

I was a press lead — basically like being a production assistant on a movie. The lowest person with no power. I did it so I could gain experience. I tried working on Warren's campaign but they literally told me "we have too many white men." His campaign was the only one willing to give me a chance.
