Comment on Being an already decided voter in a swing state is swell
ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 4 weeks agoYou know, I have to say you’re right.
At this point, unless you have been living under a giant rock, there are simple, hard facts you can’t possibly not know about Donald Trump that should be unacceptable to anyone regardless of political leanings. It’s simply impossible to ignore them.
Therefore logic dictates that whoever votes for Trump today must agree with the Nazi stuff, the Trump Purge, shooting protesters in the legs, hanging vice-presidents or locking up former speakers of the house. I mean LITERALLY agree - because he LITERALLY said those things. Even MAGA people shouldn’t agree with those things: making America great again implies not destroying America!
Meaning roughly half of this country agrees with those things. If that’s not fucked up to the n-th degree, I don’t know what is.

far right parties are the biggest in most european countries and it still doesn’t come anywhere close to how much it must suck to live in america. Who you vote for is nobody’s business, and this kind of spam is insane.

I’m not sure how many OP gets in a week but I get so. many. of these stupid messages. It’s usually about 3-6 a week. It pisses me off every time I get them. Luckily I have a message filter set up with just bare bones rules to filter out anything that contains “Trump” and “President” and that’s been working great. But the fact that I even get those messages is absurd to me. I’ve blocked at the bare minimum, probably about 300 of those numbers so far. It only keeps rising every week when I decide to look through my junk SMS

That’s insane. The only message we get here is per mail, with information on where to vote and your voting card thingy. There might be some people near stores giving out flyers with information about their party, that’s about it.

I wish it were the case for us here too. I appear to be the main one in my family who gets it and sometimes it has a name attached that isn’t mine so it’s possible it’s from the previous owner of the phone number. But it’s still infuriating nevertheless that it exists in the first place. Just wish there was a “Don’t ever message me again under any other number” option.
