It all comes from Arizona. Ive never been to Arizona. My phone number isnt anywhere near Arizona. One year, I replied STOP to every text. Nothing stopped. Now I just cuss them out and block them, but it still persists. I wrote an email to the Arizona Republican’s main office and demanded my number be removed from thier canvassing. Crickets. More spam. 3 today alone. I am so tired of this shit. It doesnt help that I think conservatives are pieces of shit and I am a member of a marginalized community that they are targeting with hate and discriminative laws.
Edit: I named the wrong F agency. It looks like the FCC might be a better option: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/115002234203-Unwanted-Calls-Texts-Phone
Thanks. I’ll do this.
Unfortunately they respond to engagement.
PNW has a large snowbird population so AZ has been trying to get PNW Rs to switch their registration to AZ to help it be more reliably red.
Clearly the only way to be sure is to destroy Arizona.
Google messages has good spam filtering, but that requires you to use Google messages. Depends if you prefer Google or spam

Oh cool, i see your using Gboard and not editing it’s nonsense a week. It really frustrating going back and editing all of the mistakes it makes, so i just have up. Life is much simpler for me now, although others can’t really understand me all of the time. But that’s their problem
Using heliboard actually
Make complaints to your congressman’s office. Those texts are illegal and should be reported.
Are you responding literally “stop” or are you editorializing like “please stop for the love of Satan”? The former is supposed to be seen by the system and you’re supposed yo be automatically unsubscribed. The latter goes to a person and that person may try to engage you. At least, when I’ve done text-banking, that’s how it worked. A less reputable system may try to engage you regardless. If you get sent to a person it’s also up to the person to decide if and how they talk to you. If I saw something that made it clear the person didn’t want to talk, I would tell the system to unsub them, others might try to be persistent.
That’s how it SHOULD work. But I’ve replied with just stop or unsubscribe depending on their chosen system’s keyword. I just received a nearly identical message from a different number. Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries were just determined at that time, but it definitely wasn’t handled the way it should have been.
I get emails for Wisconsin and Michigan politicians…
I live on the East Coast
I am getting the same crap from the Republicans. Don’t get me wrong, I could care less regardless of party, but it’s ridiculous.
In my case, since I moved to a VOIP service for voice and text, I just keep adding these to the blacklist, and don’t hear from any of them again, but they do keep coming from other numbers.
Port your number to Google voice. Their spam blocking is great. That and/or get a Pixel. TBH I’m not exactly sure which one is blocking spam calls but I haven’t gotten one in years. I only use Google voice for texting though, so that would have to be blocking spam texts.
all of the above.

Stop infecting every single Lemmy community with freaking politics. There’s nothing good in it.
Speaking of your question, it looks like there’s a bad actor. Spamming isn’t something a serious political organization would do. I think you should change your phone number.
Sir, you may want to go back to Twitter or Reddit.
Lol why? There’s a lot of politics there
Have you fucking touched grass? Look at the state of the United States as of now.
Trying to get me banned for breaking community rules huh? Sorry but I won’t break it by talking about politics here.
Bruh if conservatives just stop being a threat to democracy we will start talking about them, ez
This wasn’t needed nor called for.
If answering the user’s question isn’t called for nowadays, I think we need to completely rebuild English so the words mean what they’re supposed to mean.
