There are more than 60 million qualified citizens who are not registered to vote. And more than two thirds of them have NEVER been invited to register. Send 25 texts a day from now until the deadlines and YOU can make 2 new voters for Harris, or Sherrod Brown or Jon Tester. We saw how turnout transforms elections in 2018, 2020, and 2022.
Register Democrats.
Save the World.

in reply to Bruce Mirken • • •@BruceMirken @mwyman @distantreplay Over a decade of typing STOP or having to follow Unsubscribe links due to a handful of donations toward Obama.
As someone already overwhelmed by messaging, it totally soured me to contributing monetarily.
Even now I'm anxious about the next decade of spam I'll be getting for donating this year, but it seemed too critical not to contribute.
Fuck act blue, though. They might be doing a good thing, but in the shittiest, most abusive ways possible.

in reply to Jack Linke 🦄 • • •It is the separate campaigns. If you keep saying STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE in emails, they eventually end. I have gotten rid of almost all of mine except for the specific things I donated to. I was getting texts from House candidates from every state constantly. The campaigns should target their state, not nationwide.

In some cases, these texts are disinformation or scams.
There have been instances where rival campaigns will flood their opponent's supporters (or really, anyone) with messages because it's annoying, and they want to dampen enthusiasm/depress interest.
In other cases, it's phishing/malware distribution.
And - theoretically - it could be both!
So, yeah - attribution is hard, and it's not always possible to see the source without more digging

in reply to funnymonkey • • •Oh sure. Scammers will use every avenue available. That's why no one should ever contribute to anything that isn't run through Act Blue to be safe.
