New York Times’ opinion writer Michelle Cottle blasted the Democratic Party on Friday, warning "few people are excited to invest in an insecure loser."Cottle specifically skewered the Democratic Party’s fundraising messaging in a piece headlined, "This Pathetic Groveling Is No Way to Rebuild a Party.""Not infrequently, I open my email to find a fund-raising request from the Democratic Party with a subject line that reads as though it was sent by a contrite boyfriend," she wrote, claiming it has reportedly sent messaging like "’Can I explain?’ ‘You deserve an explanation’ ‘Sorry to reach out on a Sunday, ‘Let me try to convince you, ‘Please.’"JOE SCARBOROUGH GOES OFF ON 'HORRIBLE' DNC CHAIR, 'CRAZY' DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN SCATHING ON-AIR CRITIQUE New York Times’ opinion writer Michelle Cottle blasted the Democratic Party's fundraising messaging in a scathing piece.(Leigh Vogel/WireImage)Her point, she said, "is that, right up front, these messages telegraph insecurity, pleading, chagrin.
Hardly the vibe of a confident political team fighting the good fight.My overriding impulse is not to give the party campaign cash but to offer to pay for group therapy."While she recognized that Democrats feel humiliated by having been defeated by President Donald Trump, she urged "enough with the public hand-wringing and self-flagellation, especially when it comes to asking people for money."
