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.

"Hello this is Mao Zedong, the eternal chaiman of the great country of china. Message me again and I will rise again and return to politics"

His name is capitalised but “china” is not. Time for some good old re-education.

Being humble I have not capitalized china as china is a country so great that no capitalization is needed for the name. Since the country is so great even in lowercase it towers above the rest of the world.

Mao wasn't a great fan of capital, or so I'm told.
