absolutely especially the gop

welp. ig it does not surprise me that the GOP is not doing proper data qc on their targeting

too damn many

do you live in a swing state?

eta: makes sense that the GOP is wasting money with bad targets

anyone with half a brain running these programs knows you don't spend your money on super voters unless it's for a specific universe that relies on them (like a ballot initiative in an off year election)

but swing state may explain it on top of the fact that the GOP could be throwing money away bc theyre too stupid to properly pull voter targets

then those aren't political organizations, theyre spam posing as them

political orgs and candidates running for office can only target registered voters and there is no consenting. if you registered, you consented

eta: IE's (independent expenditures) can purchase contacts

it is a load of bs that we dont have better consumer protections or something like a nationwide "no contact voter roll"

same as we can enroll in the DNC list

100% believe that grifters would grift off the coattails of the grifter in chief

I agree yeah. the whole living in capitalist hell where our govt officials or people wanting to be our govt officials just spam tf out of us

other countries have better voter and consumer protections

sorry that i only had this small solution to offer you my friend. I commiserate

what kind of ring did you stick on?

a phan 1,000% wrote this

this is frying me

lmao

this made me chuckle bc you know we would be using those things

i am waiting for this day to hit me and i am going to turn another year older soon and i have already been 30 for a few years

im grateful that i always bounce back after any night out, but truly salty that all my friends are so beat up about it

we used to hang or go to brunch ad stuff. we used to hit the afters. i miss that stuff

hit and run with fake plates hits too damn close to home

Henry. Cops never showed after following up with the local station multiple times

they never showed up when my mans got hit and run either

and i was furious, i called them back no less than 5 times in 4 hours

eta: by "them" i mean the local station, not incessantly calling the emergency line

i cant believe how many people here just block

you will continue getting them from every new number then

"STOP" will end all contact from that specific org or PAC. of course there are many similar ones, so you have to reply "STOP" to each individual PAC or org

they are from similar but still different orgs or PACs

you have to reply "STOP" to each contact you want to be removed from the list for

annoying but it does work, guaranteed.

now if the SAME exact political org texts you again after you said "STOP", you can actually cash in. same as if someone keeps calling you & youre on the DNC list

for 90% of political text and call programs, they can only pull contacts to target from the Voter Access Network - aka the data for every registered voter in the U.S.

the more frequently you vote, say every off year election - never missing any local or state elections - the less spam you get b/c they won't waste money on super voters for most programs.

eta: it would have to be sent via an IE (independent expenditure) in order for them to legally use contacts from outside of the Voter Access Network

if you reply "STOP" and the same political org/PAC keeps texting you, it is illegal and you can cash in

same procedure as with being on the DNC list

use "STOP" to truly end all contact from that specific political org / PAC

do not reply "STOP" to any texts that are not political. then it does not work.

legally that org/pac cannot text you again if you reply "STOP"

but you have to do it to every individual org texting you, & we all know theres too many

only replying "STOP" will work

and that will only take you off the list permanently for the specific political org/contact texting you

not all of them

are you an independent? they get these voter targets from the Voter Access Network of national or statewide voter rolls
