> You can be damn sure the government has a list of possible email addresses
Hell, I've already gotten more email from the current administration than I ever got from Obama, Clinton & Sanders combined, and I'm a confirmed lefty.
... really? Can you expand on that? In my country, the government is not in the habit of sending out emails, largely so that they can tell people to disregard any email that claims to be from the government, as it's usually a scammer.
Not sure how I feel about that. It sounds fucked up, like propaganda, but it can be interpreted positively as well. They're keeping in touch with the electorate and keeping them informed. Dunno.
