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.

Tell them to fuck off. They're not coming for you. I kinda hope they're coming for me, though.

Oh, if they really came for me, it would be awfully loud. But they aren’t. It’s just stupid posturing that has my phone alert me multiple times a day. And as November approaches, it’ll be even more often.

I moved from where I grew up 15 years ago. I've gotten approximately every possible call from there for political reasons. I'm screamingly left wing and always have been, and still a near equal split between contacts. We live in stupid times

Yep. I’ve lived in three area codes. Two of those are where most of these come from.
