 Political spam texts are the absolute worst. 

I have blocked SO MANY senders and it doesn’t make a difference. 

Do NOT give your phone number out to any political group.

Although it doesn’t matter because someone else will sell your number…

Just don’t give out your number… 
 Who dis? 
 Imagine a phone protocol that was like nostr with a revokable key 
 I'm up to 4 phone numbers now for different purposes 
 I have multiple US numbers and somehow haven't gotten a single political text 😁👏 
 Don’t worry your carrier will sell them too 
 Just don’t have a phone number at all 👌 
 Don't have a number.  I am not there yet. Soon though. 
 Most of my political spam texts have my wife’s name on them. I’d love to know how they made that association. 
 The only option is to ridicule them.

 And the emails! Never been anywhere near Montana, but Jon Tester has sent me hundreds of emails. Literally 4 a day at some points
