Text spam from Republicans

[oldag]

I am getting fed up with the flood of texts (which I never requested). They keep it up and I will vote for Pat Paulsen.

yeah, I finally unsubscribed from them, around six a day... enough to make you vote Demo... naw, just enough to piss you off though...

How? I've tried everything but dynamite.

Last election, I had to finally send them (WinRed) a threatening email, for that same reason, this year I just unsubscribe with the link on the bottom...

I used to sign up for campaign alerts from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al. Of course I used my boss's email address. Work was boring and it was funny to hear him swearing across the hall.

I must be unimportant. All I ever get is postcards and mailers.

I've been getting them for about 2 months. It got so bad that I'd get 20 a day. Every time I would reply STOP to unsubscribe, when I hadn't subscribed in the first place. I finally just marked them as trash and they get deleted, and they're down to only a few a day. It still irritates the crap out of me. I just assume I gave the repub. Senatorial committee my phone number for something in the last few years, and now they're determined to wear me down. It won't work.

I explained to several Republican phone solicitors that I am at best a very reluctant Republican. Each of their calls me me like them less. There is a point they are just as evil as Democrats. Take you choice Republican Kook whoncalls and texts, please remove me OR lose me. Eventually my name has dropped off their list. And Republicans continue to be slightly less evil than Democrats.

I so wish there were votes to cast that were not for the lesser evil.
The greatest evil appears campaign materials!

Tactic? Maybe they actually are Dems, posing as (R), and annoying you into not voting.

Phone solicitors are about the lowest for of life on the planet. That they would be playing a nefarious game does not surprise me. I used to work Republican campaigns so have some knowldge of how they system worked last decade. Finally they dropped me!

Phone solicitors won't change or prevent my vote, but they have caused me to stop contributing to the candidates I support.

I like your style!

I check my texts and email. sometimes in the morning while brewing coffee, other times at the end of the day. Either way, I just delete 95% of them in a matter of minutes and go on with my life.
You can unsubscribe until August 35th and they will still keep coming, so just highlight and delete. Its just that easy

Now spam phone calls, thats a whole other gaming platform worthy of a thread of its own on how to screw with those idiots. At least when you get one that actually has a pulse instead of a digital voice.

There is also value in anonymity!

I get 'em too, but don't really bother me. Not sure why it's such a big deal. Just ignore and delete......even the personal one I got from Don, Jr., the other day. .

Did you ask him for a bill of sale?

With my job, I can't just ignore texts or check twice a day. They could be urgent with people's safety involved, or operational issues with huge impacts on customer's revenue.

So they are a distraction and interruption.

It does no good when they spoof a new random number every time.
One down; 10^10-1 to go...
