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.
I wish it were the case for us here too. I appear to be the main one in my family who gets it and sometimes it has a name attached that isn’t mine so it’s possible it’s from the previous owner of the phone number. But it’s still infuriating nevertheless that it exists in the first place. Just wish there was a “Don’t ever message me again under any other number” option.
