    Your reward for voting regularly and donating to candidates you support is a bunch of unwanted texts and phone calls.

      I get a fundraising text every day. I text back stop. I marked as junk. It makes no difference. I got another one the next day.

      Do they not realize pissing off their base with this spam means we’re not going to donate?

      I actually kind of hollered at the ACLU. I did a one time, small donation a few months ago. I am poor folk.

      They have been blowing me up since. I ended up picking up the line on a sunday (I’m sorry, I’m not religious, but don’t business call me on a fucking sunday). It might have been Saturday, statement stands either way.

      But I was about to have a panic attack. This woman on the other line let me know she was wofh the ACLU and looking for donations or whatever, but I gave her the news. I’m poor, you are blowing up my phone, I gave a one time donation to do my part and now I feel attacked. You want more and more and more, and I can’t. I said, this behavior from y’all makes me regret donating. She tired to say something, I just repeated, I can’t do this, please don’t call me, and hung up.

      These politicians in their photos wear suits that probably cost as much as my entire wardrobe, it’s rude to beg money like this. I hate it.

    Canada: the moment the election was done the spam calls that I refuse to answer disappeared.

    Meanwhile in Australia : what spam calls?
