    Your reward for voting regularly and donating to candidates you support is a bunch of unwanted texts and phone calls.

      I get a fundraising text every day. I text back stop. I marked as junk. It makes no difference. I got another one the next day.

      Do they not realize pissing off their base with this spam means we’re not going to donate?

        Berate them with “foul language”. Depending on the country, they will mark your number as hostile, and it will be removed from their contact list. Since they share lists, this will propagate to other lists, as well.

        I imagine it’s like advertising: for everyone who finds it annoying there’s a dozen people it works on

      Be nice if I could get some healthcare with that, abortion rights, maybe a living wage…

      Million dollar idea (that probably violates campaign finance laws): Come up with a service that allows you to donate to any candidate, and will not sell or share your information, and will never contact you. The fee is $1 regardless of the donation amount. There has to be 1m people who would find this worth the added fee.

        Sounds like a protection racket

      I actually kind of hollered at the ACLU. I did a one time, small donation a few months ago. I am poor folk.

      They have been blowing me up since. I ended up picking up the line on a sunday (I’m sorry, I’m not religious, but don’t business call me on a fucking sunday). It might have been Saturday, statement stands either way.

      But I was about to have a panic attack. This woman on the other line let me know she was wofh the ACLU and looking for donations or whatever, but I gave her the news. I’m poor, you are blowing up my phone, I gave a one time donation to do my part and now I feel attacked. You want more and more and more, and I can’t. I said, this behavior from y’all makes me regret donating. She tired to say something, I just repeated, I can’t do this, please don’t call me, and hung up.

      These politicians in their photos wear suits that probably cost as much as my entire wardrobe, it’s rude to beg money like this. I hate it.

    i love when the democratic party - the supposed liberal party - continues to use my dead name with no way to change it because they all share lists from 20 years ago

    Here in Australia, we have laws against spam texts and so we seem to get much less than America does. Guess who exempted themselves? Politicians. So stupid. They just annoy everyone and it’s not like it helps them to keep it legal. If it’s illegal for them, it’s illegal for their competitors, so it would come out in the wash.

      In Australia Clive Palmer is famous for constantly sending out texts during his campaigns, people complain they got multiple per day. I wasn’t aware there was any law against it here, in fact I thought people had been saying it OUGHT to be illegal.

        Politicians can do it. Companies can’t. It’s ridiculous. We have the laws in place. Just remove the exemption. Same with political advertising. Lots of exemptions that don’t pass the smell test.

    Canada: the moment the election was done the spam calls that I refuse to answer disappeared.

    Meanwhile in Australia : what spam calls?

      Doesn’t help. They just text you from another number under the name of a different PAC.
