Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

Yeah, I got one that was like ‘We can see when you have and haven’t voted, everyone can see. Don’t be an embarrassment.’ And had a link to something. It was…irritating. I don’t even know what they hoped to achieve. Which party was it from? Is someone out there just trying to peer pressure people into voting like some kind of school council election? I don’t get it. Plus, I did vote in the last election. What does poking me about four years ago when I didn’t because I was working third shift accomplish? Not my fault the powers that be keep making it harder to vote, even if I don’t like that it’s happening.

Well, they're certainly targeting the most gullible
