The best part is that fully half of these are addressed to my mom…
I’m getting this shit from everywhere I’ve ever lived. I can normally ignore my phone for the most part, but I’m actually waiting on updates about the health of a relative. And this shit needs to stop. No one’s changing their mind cause of a text, guys. No one’s like, “Oh yeah, is it time to vote?” Please, just stop.
i can still see the middle name, mabye increase the brush size next time?
I recently moved from Texas to New Mexico, so now I get them for both states. Thankfully, my spam filter works pretty well.
I got one that threatened me saying they will know if I voted or not.
It was also sent to the wrong address and someone else had to give it to me asking if I was ok when they saw the hand written threat.
It’s fucking insane.
I’ve been getting political spam for Florida for years every election cycle. Almost always for Republicans, but I did get one Harris message the other day. The catch? I’ve never lived in Florida and haven’t even been there in over 15 years.
Protip: don’t scribble shit out in screenshots. Too easy for people to figure out what’s underneath. Put filled in rectangles over whatever you don’t want people to see so there’s nothing that shows through. Most built in photo editors on phones have this functionality.
Filled in rectangles are so cold and impersonal. The scribbles are organic and remind me I need to brush my hair. Who cares if someone reverse engineers OP’s mom’s name?
mine in PA. most of them are sent to a name I don’t know anyone by…
Holy shit I didn’t know I had a spam filter on my texts. Mine looks much the same.
You guys need regulation about that, thank God we have some in EU
Yes it seems like that should be the duty of a functional government… Oh wait…
“I’m just gonna vote for the last person that texted me” : the demo these assholes are targeting.
I took will vote for this dudes mom.
Fortunately Google messages filters all of it to spam and makes it very easy to toss whatever doesn’t get filtered into spam. Here’s mine from Wisconsin!
Finally, a chance to tell Mom, Andrew, Jeremy, and Doug, that they’re only important enough for a stranger on the internet to want to decipher their semi-crossed out names and nothing more!
The town name and state is also very easy to figure out, and you can easily verify it by checking where Musk will be holding a town hall today. For each of the most violently crossed-out words, D███ and C███████, there is just one first name matching whatever is visible. Yes, I copied and pasted letters from elsewhere and the width is correct.
I see ‘Audrey’.
Voting is important. There were a few local proposals regarding taxes for example. There were also a ton of different representatives and judges that had to be picked locally. And of course you get to participate in the national president lottery! You pick your option, and if the electoral college picks the same option, then you win! Otherwise, if the electoral college picks a different option, then you loose. Yey! Democracy! I wish the electoral college kept calling my phone every day to tell me how important my vote for president is! It would go like this: " he loo 😂😂😂😂 lol, hold on. Yeah go vote! LOL! It means something! LOL 😆😂😆. We’re picking Trump if you don’t vote! We’re picking Trump if you do vote! LOL your vote is very important to us, a representative will be voting with you shortly LOL!"
Better Trump than the illegal immigrant Kamala. So my vote goes to him.
User name checks out for such a confused statement.
She’s born in Oakland, CA. Where did she illegally migrate to?
I haven’t seen that birth certificate yet, have you?
“American democracy”
Vote for me op
I’m a single-issue voter. What is your plan for the psychopaths running loose and destroying our country by putting anchovies on perfectly good pizzas? This is very important.
Wait until you hear about pineapple on pizza. Pineapple!
Hmmm. Do pineapple and anchovies go together?
Where’s my representation for square cut pizza?!
Life in the US must suck so fucking bad.
I find it kind of reassuring that at least our votes actually mean something to someone and the entire process isn’t completely rigged, otherwise no one would fucking bother.
Nah it’s fine, see I don’t live in a swing-state, so nobody cares about my vote at all!
You know, I have to say you’re right.
At this point, unless you have been living under a giant rock, there are simple, hard facts you can’t possibly not know about Donald Trump that should be unacceptable to anyone regardless of political leanings. It’s simply impossible to ignore them.
Therefore logic dictates that whoever votes for Trump today must agree with the Nazi stuff, the Trump Purge, shooting protesters in the legs, hanging vice-presidents or locking up former speakers of the house. I mean LITERALLY agree - because he LITERALLY said those things. Even MAGA people shouldn’t agree with those things: making America great again implies not destroying America!
Meaning roughly half of this country agrees with those things. If that’s not fucked up to the n-th degree, I don’t know what is.
far right parties are the biggest in most european countries and it still doesn’t come anywhere close to how much it must suck to live in america. Who you vote for is nobody’s business, and this kind of spam is insane.
I’m not sure how many OP gets in a week but I get so. many. of these stupid messages. It’s usually about 3-6 a week. It pisses me off every time I get them. Luckily I have a message filter set up with just bare bones rules to filter out anything that contains “Trump” and “President” and that’s been working great. But the fact that I even get those messages is absurd to me. I’ve blocked at the bare minimum, probably about 300 of those numbers so far. It only keeps rising every week when I decide to look through my junk SMS
That’s insane. The only message we get here is per mail, with information on where to vote and your voting card thingy. There might be some people near stores giving out flyers with information about their party, that’s about it.
