1. never signed up for anything like this,
  2. never donated to or signed up for emails from the DNC, et al.,
  3. political texts like this come all the time, and
  4. I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    A friend told me that if you use undesirable language (please don’t stoop to racial slurs), they’ll mark your number as ‘hostile’. This will propagate to other lists, removing you from them before you’re even added. She swears (pun intended) by it.

    Edit: it’s important you don’t threaten them, lest you be added to a different kind of list…

      I just like the fact that “Fuck off” has the same functionality as stop for some systems.

        If it’s a non-racial cuss, she’s sent it to these folks. One bloke had the audacity to ask her to stop using that type of language… so she used it even harder.
