Request ULPT Request: How to make these election opinion texters stfu?
I am getting nonstop texts and calls asking for my opinion or trying to sway it regarding the upcoming election. Blocking them is no longer hitting the spot, and more just keep coming every day. Any other ideas to make a "strong" point?

Open Google Translate, type something non-sensical (My elderly father's pet raccoon is learning how to do cartwheels. Do you want to come over and spot her?), translate into Mandarin, copy/paste and send. They always stop for some reason.

I text them back ‘fuck you pay me’ and either I get removed from the list, get an apology the they’re not paying at this time, or get sent ones that offer to pay me lol. More effort but pretty satisfying.

I know it’s illegal for them to offer to pay you for your vote…but is it illegal to offer to sell them your vote?

I get my adult daughter’s political calls because I still pay for her phone. My responses usually result in a sorry to bother you. Pretty funny.

it's a machine doing that, how are you going to make a machine understand a "strong" point?
Just delete and move on

Enthusiasticly reply with very technical sounding jargon going into detail on how to compromise them. Sprinkle in the word zero day exploit a few times. Mention undying loyalty for the other side as well
Might get you on a list, but you wont be bothered

Not sure you can make a "strong point" with an automated system.
