    Send them straight to spam. That lowers their ranking with the email providers. If enough people do it, other people won’t have to deal with it in the future.

        5 sentences about how we will improve citizens lives:

        • Trump bad (we’re not Trump)
        • we’re considering some (means-tested) tax credits for people who have been evicted due to medical bankruptcy
        • more funding for police (we made them sign a form saying they weren’t racist. Most refused but at least they know)
        • we believe in climate change. We have a comprehensive plan to move away from fossil fuels by the year 4000.
        • if you don’t vote for us, we’ll email your employer that you like Putin.

      The national emergency alert system, (Ya know… the extremely important one for disasters, and amber alert?) logs all phone numbers to be able to send out vital information. Governmental officials can use the collected phone numbers for other purposes.

    simplelogin is great for cloaking your email address. if an alias is leaked, you can just turn that off and never receive anything from those spammers again. they will probably do a november discount for the yearly sub for anyone interested in trying it. it also has a free tier but the number of aliases is limited.

    i also had a similar issue with receiving emails from american democrats (it was before or after the 2016 elections) despite never stepping foot in the country, i really have no idea how they got it. i had to stop using that email, it was that bad. it was only a spare personal email so i wasn’t feeling too bad about changing it but it’s still very annoying.

      Thank you. I’ll look into that too. Unfortunately, I am going to have to delete this email soon because of it, but I have been wanting to do that anyways.

    It’s cool how registering to vote just puts you on a bunch of spam lists without your consent. I’ve never signed up for any of them voluntarily but as soon as I registered back in 2016 (as an independent, by the way) it was just a deluge of “hey it’s the ineffectual controlled opposition party here, can we have some money? you don’t want the RePuBLiCaNs to win, do you?”

    and don’t get me started on the texts. in fact I just got one this morning from bernie sanders lol. every one of these people can fuck off forever

    The Five Sentences be like: I vow to support my oligarchs no matter what happens to me. I can and will use abortions and immigration as a political football to toss around every 2 years. I solemnly swear I will refuse to push for any progressive legislation. I will not stop fighting for a Carte Blanche budget for Ukraine. I will blame any and all Democrat Party fuckups on Republicans.

      I made my own in a comment below. Might as well repost:

      • Trump bad (we’re not Trump)
      • we’re considering some (means-tested) tax credits for people who have been evicted due to medical bankruptcy
      • more funding for police (we made them sign a form saying they weren’t racist. Most refused but at least they know)
      • we believe in climate change. We have a comprehensive plan to move away from fossil fuels by the year 4000.

    My email is now possessed by the DNC. And I only gave Bernie and AOC donations. Did ActBlue sell me out?
