Your reward for voting regularly and donating to candidates you support is a bunch of unwanted texts and phone calls.
I get a fundraising text every day. I text back stop. I marked as junk. It makes no difference. I got another one the next day.
Do they not realize pissing off their base with this spam means we’re not going to donate?
If they’re ignoring requests to stop, you might just be making it worse by showing it’s an active number lol.
Berate them with “foul language”. Depending on the country, they will mark your number as hostile, and it will be removed from their contact list. Since they share lists, this will propagate to other lists, as well.
I did that around the 2020 election and got a very sad text back that a real human sends those texts and didn’t deserve the “abuse”
So if anyone is wondering, 'fuck off" worked great in rural America years ago. Maybe it still does, because I didn’t get any local calls last year asking for my money and vote
Just add “kindly”
Funnily enough, I got mad at CVS being far too persistent on my meds when I kept texting no I don’t need a refill that I finally said “fuck off” and then it finally stopped pestering me. I didn’t expect it to do anything. I was just mad.
Million dollar idea (that probably violates campaign finance laws): Come up with a service that allows you to donate to any candidate, and will not sell or share your information, and will never contact you. The fee is $1 regardless of the donation amount. There has to be 1m people who would find this worth the added fee.
Sounds like a protection racket
What I need, is for you to climb down out of my ass

i love when the democratic party - the supposed liberal party - continues to use my dead name with no way to change it because they all share lists from 20 years ago
Here in Australia, we have laws against spam texts and so we seem to get much less than America does. Guess who exempted themselves? Politicians. So stupid. They just annoy everyone and it’s not like it helps them to keep it legal. If it’s illegal for them, it’s illegal for their competitors, so it would come out in the wash.
In Australia Clive Palmer is famous for constantly sending out texts during his campaigns, people complain they got multiple per day. I wasn’t aware there was any law against it here, in fact I thought people had been saying it OUGHT to be illegal.
Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.
Whatever you’re selling, this is not the way to do it.
What was so important?
