It took only a few days after the candidate won her primary for me to start getting email solicitations from her. Soon, I expect, I’ll be getting text messages from her. And she’s a candidate from another state who I could never vote for.
I’ve been offered the chance to speak to the President and be flown to a special meeting with him and the First Lady.
Seriously, I must get dozens of emails and texts a day from candidates and causes. Naturally, I am getting these messages because I “have supported good causes in the past.”
(No good deed goes unpunished.)
Deleting and unsubscribing doesn’t work and the last thing I am motivated to do is make a contribution.
Here comes another drop-down…..

Block and delete button: never used more….

I have been doing a lot of blocks and deletes as well. Too many solicitations.

Perhaps a Strongly Worded reply....Nah.
Block and then hit Spam. Never ever use unsubscribe.
There is no universal removal system at this juncture. Some US Senators are trying to make buffers to AI, Spam, and List Sharing, but the problem is that their own campaigns do it as well.
