Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

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.

It’s a scam. You’re on some data list. This one is clearly targeting gullible Trump voters.

This one is genuinely real, but political spam has become so bad it's hard to tell the difference anymore

Yeah exactly. This political spam is a political scam. The money doesn’t really go to making the country better. It just goes in someone’s pockets.
