Edit: Oh for fuck’s sake.
I’ve learned the hard way to never give my email or address to charities or political campaigns. If they require that info to donate, they don’t get a donation 🤷
I didn’t give them my email address! I don’t even know how they got it!
I’m not even a registered Democrat.
Also, I already voted for them. I wish there was some way to let them know that.
It really is. There were a couple of actually useful messages inviting me to a rally, that I almost missed because when you get TOO MANY messages, you don’t read ANY of them.
They went WAY too heavy on the targeted email and text ads. Those don’t get undecided votes, they just annoy the people who already support you.
You know, I tried a lot of tactics to get the spam calls and texts to stop.
What ended up working so far is telling them that I’m sick of the spam, and that because of it, I’m staying home instead of voting.
Mind you, I’m lying, but they don’t need to know that. But it worked, so far. Haven’t gotten any in a few days now, and they were coming in multiples each day before that
If Harris loses, I don’t even want to think of what the next four years will bring. But, whichever way it goes, I take at least some small solace in knowing the PAC text spam will finally shut the fuck up for a little while…
I get lots of emails from both sides, I’ve trained Google to send them all to spam. If I donate to a candidate, it won’t be because of an email.
I sent an email to my (Republican) congressman at his official Congress email address about an issue, and he must have used that as an excuse to add me to his solicitation list, and now my spam is filled with all the emails. I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I lived in a competitive state.
