Like, folks, do you realize how bad these texts have gotten that it's pissing me off? I ride-or-die with the Democratic Party. And even I'm a few spam texts away from going Full Joker.

So with you. I said nothing till big changes and I mean it. Plus I stop every single one I get since post election. Note that’s usually two or three a week STILL!

I agree. Too many orgs now have our numbers, so we're inundated. I treat them all as spam & don't know which are legit, so I think texting for donations is *not* the way to go. If I think they're legit, I text STOP. Ones I'm not sure of, I Delete/Block/Report as Junk. There has to be a better way.

The rate at which I hit the block button makes me look like a 90s teen texting with a Nokia 8210.

I didn't start texting till the 2000s, but I was *really fast* on the Nokia brick T9 texting. I often didn't even bother looking bc I could just do it by feel. I still frequently miss both brick and T9.

There is a guy running for the Senate who has texted at least once every day since he announced. And I don't even live in his state.

I typed “STOP” a while ago as I don’t know if they are actually from the DNC.

I recently replied to one with “Fuck off” and they unsubscribed me just as if I’d replied “stop.” It was very satisfying.

I’m with you. I’m texting ‘STOP’ and then blocking the numbers for everyone of them but my home state politicians. Them I answer each text with “Tell me what you’re doing! Show me results! Then we can talk about money.”

It’s become a game of “whack a mole”. I reply “stop” to one and three more show up the next day.

As far as I’m concerned, their inability to fundraise in this political climate is indicative of their lack of ambition and inability to lead in a time of dire crisis. If they want my money then they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and actually do the work for their constituents.

They were agreeing with you and maybe didn't know your insight and influence.
