The best part is that fully half of these are addressed to my mom…
Life in the US must suck so fucking bad.
I find it kind of reassuring that at least our votes actually mean something to someone and the entire process isn’t completely rigged, otherwise no one would fucking bother.
And the worst part? They’re allowed to ignore the national do not call registry.

As annoying as it is, I reply STOP to each one and then block the number. Sometimes I get lucky and get an unsubscribe confirmation.
I hardly get spam texts because I refuse to give my number out for anything. Jenny is my go to phone number when I need to give out a burner number.
I like giving them the number 719-266-2837
I encourage folks to give it a try
What is that from?
Somebody made it to demo Twilio and it’s been running for at least ten years.
Really handy for testing telephony connections.
Jenny?
867-5309
lol, and here it thought it was just a clever name for some fake phone number generator.
🤦
Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “bezos@amazon.com”
Finally, a chance to tell Mom, Andrew, Jeremy, and Doug, that they’re only important enough for a stranger on the internet to want to decipher their semi-crossed out names and nothing more!
I see ‘Audrey’.
Same, the v that’s visible is definitely not a w.
The town name and state is also very easy to figure out, and you can easily verify it by checking where Musk will be holding a town hall today. For each of the most violently crossed-out words, D███ and C███████, there is just one first name matching whatever is visible. Yes, I copied and pasted letters from elsewhere and the width is correct.
I recognize those area codes! And I also get like 6 of those every day.
Did you sign Elons petition? He only asks if you support the first two amendments, which, technically, I do. I was hoping to win the million and collect it wearing all blue! 😂
FYI, it may actually be illegal to even accept that million dollars. I am not a lawyer, and my understanding is it’s kinda untested legal grounds, but there is an argument for it.
Fair enough, but I think that’s a risk I’d be willing to take.
Here’s a vid on the legality.
While you’re at it, you could also take the cards against humanity one.
I did! I’m not eligible for that one.
I’m so glad we don’t get campaign spam like this in the UK.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Google Messages automatically blocks most political spam now. I’ve only gotten a few that slipped through in the past few months.
This is why I’ve started blasting the fuck out of every one of them. You do enough cursing and insulting, they tend to actually stop texting and calling. I got sick of having to tell them to fucking stop the spam, which didn’t work. But, amazingly, after a few days of going batshit on every one of them, they’ve stopped almost entirely. No texts at all in three days for me, though my wife and dad still get them.
Vote for me op
You guys need regulation about that, thank God we have some in EU
Yes it seems like that should be the duty of a functional government… Oh wait…
I’ve been getting political spam for Florida for years every election cycle. Almost always for Republicans, but I did get one Harris message the other day. The catch? I’ve never lived in Florida and haven’t even been there in over 15 years.
STOP
mine in PA. most of them are sent to a name I don’t know anyone by…
Holy shit I didn’t know I had a spam filter on my texts. Mine looks much the same.
I ALREADY SENT MY BALLOT! YOU KNOW THIS! LEAVE ME ALONE!
