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.

It would be halarious if the GOP was actually doing this but it is likely a scam

Ehhh I’ve gotten similar shit my snail mail lmao. I’ve always voted dem since I turned 18 and I’m currently 33. So plenty of elections have come and gone. Idk how or why, but GOP candidates seem to think I want their slop.

Plenty of those big stupid thick paper things talking absolute nonsense and giving pseudo threats like these text lmao. Same with random emails begging for donations.

I’ve gone through emails and mailing list and just everything to try and unsubscribe to everything and anything. But these stupid bastards Just. Won’t. Give. Up.

Only thing it’s done over the years is make me ensure I vote for Dems and preferably progressives and donate to them instead. You ain’t gonna threaten me, fuck you and these scare tactics lmao.
