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've never voted R. I've never registered R. Every week lately I'm dumping a fistful of conservative propaganda from my mailbox into the recycling. They don't care what you're registered as.

I used to have to print that shit. It's insidious, I don't know for sure but I think they target specific neighborhoods and or demographics send their garbage to every address therein.

When it says who it's from—which not all of them do—it's all One Nation PAC. And everything out of them is a bald-faced lie.

Not surprising, it's all feelings and lies trying to influence the people who won't take a moment to fact check. The most infuriating thing for me is that pac is only one of many and I can't help but think of how many people those millions of dollars spent could lift out of poverty or how much broken infrastructure could be fixed....
