I guess republicans are dumb enough to be susceptible to this garbage?
Democratic candidates send texts too. I don’t go around handing out my phone number but at some point I must have given it to someone, perhaps Bernie when I volunteered for his campaign. Of course they sold it to more democrats who sold it to more democrats. I reply STOP to every single text I get but there are always more because my number gets sold to someone new.
Charities do this too. Give $100 to your local food bank and you’ll start getting donation appeals by mail from 5 other charities.
It should be illegal.
I dunno about other states but in CT they can get your info from voter registration records. 3 local politicians have lost my vote by sending me crap (I contacted them and told them that)
I vaguely remember donating to the bernie campaign, and now for years I just get a ton of emails and texts. What I didn't remember was making an ActBlue account. I didn't have it saved in my password manager, but just for the hell of it I tried logging in recently with a old password I use to reuse, and I had an account.
I removed my phone number, and changed the contact email to mygmail+ACTBLUE@gmail.com. I'm supposed to not get any more texts, and hopefully the emails stop, or at least use the new address for easy filtering.
You're talking about people who consider Newsmax and "One America News" to be the only reliable news sources and believe that Donald Trump, who managed to spend 4 years indirectly robbing them blind and would not spit on them if they were on fire, is somehow the most persecuted man in all of history.
They would believe just about anything.
