Campaigns are at the stage where they are trying to reach out to people they believe are likely dem voters, encouraging them to early vote or make a vote plan. Make sure you are continuing to waste their time and money by remaining on their call/contact lists. This means they’ll keep using campaign resources to try to get an answer from you.
I know it is tempting to text back STOP to make all the George Clooney texts stop, but try to hold the line!
no fucking way dude I have waaaaaaaay better things to do with my time than interact with Kamala campaigners in literally any context
like literally why would I care enough to fuck with them
Because they are exploiting a spam / harassment loophole they wrote in the law for their campaign bullshit and you can bully / tell campaign texters exactly how you feel / fuck off genocider using the same loophole.
idc im typing stop
I’m not saying to respond…
just respond “i’m not sure, could you elaborate” to literally anything they write
no
I reply to every one I get with variations of “who is This?” or “I don’t know who that is, sorry” and they never respond to me
there’s a weird current here where people care so much about not voting for Kamala that they will actively go out of their way to engage in weird roundabout electoralism and cut off their noses to spite their faces, and I just don’t get it. if you think voting doesn’t matter, don’t put so much energy into the voting system
I think people should be free to choose how much energy they put into this
If anyone wants to troll the democrats and waste their resources, that’s alright with me
don’t put so much energy into the voting system
simply not responding to a text message doesn’t take much of my energy. we can have a little election trolling…as a treat
I literally don’t understand how you can give this much of a shit about this stupid election
I don’t care enough for this shit lmao
I respond to every single text with “Free Palestine.”
Does someone have to read them? I remember during the Bernie campaign it was like, kinda automated but ultimately a human had to sit there and read your messages and decide how/if to respond
I sent pig poop balls to one and they said “have a nice day” lol
I always respond with something ranging from “Ceasefire now” to “I will only vote for Kamala if she declares war on the Nazi state of Israel and bombs Tel Aviv”
Lmao same
they don’t see your image they just see a line like [image] and then guess based on context that you’re not interested.
Yes they do. I did phone banking and texting for Bernie in 2016
Jfc that was 8 years ago. Twice aas long as this site has existed.
It has been 23 years since
I got this one this morning. I don’t even live in Arizona. Also I already voted for Claudia De la Cruz
I asked the guy texting me to just be honest and admit to supporting genocide before asking me again for my vote
Also sent him some videos of dead kids in Gaza with the text “this is what you support”
They haven’t gotten back to me lately
John Henry versus the Machine but it’s you against an army of auto-dialers
For a while I was agreeing to door-knockings and then reneging on the last second. Praxis. Admittedly my frustration got to me yesterday and I finally just told them I’m voting .
wow have people gotten so touchy about doorknocking that they schedule it in advance with permission now?
Not that it was all sunshine and roses pre-pandemic but dang
I think he means volunteering to knock on doors for Harris
No, no. I mean that as in scheduling a time to walk around and knock doors.
oh nice lmao
I hope i get a call and can get them to spend time trying to convince me only for me to drop that i already voted by mail for PSL at the end of the convo
I try to demoralize the texters so their outreach is limited. Only during work breaks when there is nothing more constructive to do.
Oddly, I have gotten very few human texters, or even bots, this time.
It’s mostly just messages blasted out with donation link.
