The best part is that fully half of these are addressed to my mom…
I'm getting this shit from everywhere I've ever lived. I can normally ignore my phone for the most part, but I'm actually waiting on updates about the health of a relative. And this shit needs to stop. No one's changing their mind cause of a text, guys. No one's like, "Oh yeah, is it time to vote?" Please, just stop.
I ALREADY SENT MY BALLOT! YOU KNOW THIS! LEAVE ME ALONE!
Thankfully, almost all of those go straight to spam for me.
"American democracy"
I've got a new mexico number and havent got more requests from random organizations for donations. Starting to think i've inherited this number from someone.
I get political spam addressed to three different people who used to have my number. Real estate spam for one of them. Temp job offers for another. It's annoying af going on four years.
I have always assumed I get these due to some activist work I did 10+ years ago, but it seems particularly bad this cycle.
I just delete and report junk
I recently moved from Texas to New Mexico, so now I get them for both states. Thankfully, my spam filter works pretty well.
I keep getting these too, but I'm in a solidly blue state
Yeah I'm in Texas and my spam filter looks just like OPs and others who have posted in this thread.
Im starting to think this is a general American issue and not a swing state-vs-solid state issue
i can still see the middle name, mabye increase the brush size next time?
Voting is important. There were a few local proposals regarding taxes for example. There were also a ton of different representatives and judges that had to be picked locally. And of course you get to participate in the national president lottery! You pick your option, and if the electoral college picks the same option, then you win! Otherwise, if the electoral college picks a different option, then you loose. Yey! Democracy! I wish the electoral college kept calling my phone every day to tell me how important my vote for president is! It would go like this: " he loo 😂😂😂😂 lol, hold on. Yeah go vote! LOL! It means something! LOL 😆😂😆. We're picking Trump if you don't vote! We're picking Trump if you do vote! LOL your vote is very important to us, a representative will be voting with you shortly LOL!"
LPT, use another number for dmv and voting stuff cause that's how you get all the annoying calls and spam
A text message app with a keyword blocking feature is very useful to have
I forward it all to 7726, reply stop, then block it. It's still friggin whack a mole though.
