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!

    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

      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

      both-sides 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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 PSL .
