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.

My dad registered as a republican when he was 18 and never bothered to change it. He has not voted for them in over 20 years lol. But because he never changed it he still sometimes gets republicans shit in the mail. Did you maybe register as such as a kid?

I originally registered as Republican when I was 18. Didn’t know any better. I changed it like a year later. So… maybe that marked me for life.

pretty much. They likely have a list of registered voters, you still have the same number right? So they just spam these texts out.
