Political texts are absolutely out of control.

I have given to a handful of campaigns far from anything prolific. Just Trump and Sears the last few years. I unsubcribed and blocked 37 numbers TODAY.

Im less likely to vote for someone sending me a shite load of texts.


Ive been getting a lot of winsom sears texts. I can't even vote for her.


If I was the opposition I would text people to annoy them saying it was my opponent.

... and don't make the mistake of typing "STOP." It's textspeak for "please increase my spam texts."

I gave Herman Cain $20 in 2007 and the political spam didn't stop for about 10 more years. I'll never donate again to anyone. Or I'll do so with everything fake as is legal. Fake email, fake phone, etc.

I've been blocking and unsubscribing for the last two months. Only received one text today.

At the end of the text it usually says "stop=end".

I type both.

"stop" and "end"

And then I block the number for good measure.

And you can't "report as spam" on these either.

Politicians suck.

I've never donated to any political campaign. The only donations I have ever made were to Wikipedia and now I'm deluged with texts for Democratic causes.

Never again, Wikipedia.

I dont give to any politician. Never have, never will. Like me, they have to finance their own bullshite.
