Wow now Bernie campaign is texting me
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Why I keep getting mail and messages from the porn lobby is beyond me.

Never used that number. For anything remotely political. Never used it to donate. Never used it to volunteer, except for habitat (but that might have been my work number). It's a pretty private number.

Cambridge Analytica and others say "hi." One connection leads to another which leads to another, etc etc etc. Unless you use a pre-paid phone card and a burner phone...good luck.

We all get spammed. This isn't 1985.

Uh. No. We don’t. My personal cell phone has never been spammed until Saint Bernie. Not once. Not ever.

You have a real dip**** attitude for us not wanting to be harassed. If this were the trump campaign texting you, you’d have a different song to sing. But here you are, head up Bernie’s *** so far you can see out his eyes.

This crosses some pretty big ethical lines for me.

Never had a spam text on my phone going back to high school.

I don't get them either, but, well, you know my phone situation. ;)

Anyone I know with a smartphone has gotten spam or "unknown call" from a spammer at least once.

Uh, it doesn’t matter if you have a smart phone or not. It’s your phone number....

Not connected to the internet. It's a bit more work that way, it can be done, no question.

Just in the past month I have received unsolicited spam messages from GMC financing, the DNC, something called Mainers for Accountable Leadership (from a NH number) and Microsoft (although I suspect it was a scam). I'm terribly sorry you think your cell phone number is special and have found out it isn't.

I'd be laughing my *** off if the Sniffles campaign tried texting me. When a GOP campaign targets me I'm ecstatic. It's a waste of time and resources. When Poliquin used to send me campaign literature I was over the moon. I wasn't in his district and he was still spending money on me? Awesome! When the GOP state senate candidate knocked on my door I kept him chatting for 15 minutes. It's his own fault for knocking on my door even though I had his opponent's sign on my lawn.

When I had a landline, it was indeed fun messing with the telemarketers.

I say I have to step away for a minute to let the dog in...and see how long they wait before hanging up.

I'd hit on them (no matter gender), yell stuff in the background like "HEY! STOP THAT! DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR SISTER! A SPATULA IS NOT A TOY!, simply see how long I could keep them on while they are hoping for a sale by asking every question in the world about the product (relevant or not), etc.
