- never signed up for anything like this,
- never donated to or signed up for emails from the DNC, et al.,
- political texts like this come all the time, and
- I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)
Hey there we’re the krazy kaucasians for Kamala…
Wait a second, let’s just go with White dudes for Harris
You ever see the show Modern Family? I want a new show starring the husband from that show, about a wholesome totally not racist white guy who goes about life COMPLETELY oblivious to how his actions are percieved by other people.
Almost like a not racist version of Mr Magoo.
that could be any of the 4 husbands on that show, to varying degrees. you’ll have to be more specific.
The white one
Honestly, having watched it at some point, I’m fairly sure they mean the one that isn’t an old dude with a young latina trophy wife and is straight.
All those husbands are oblivious to a lot of shit, but that one is the absolute most oblivious lol
A friend told me that if you use undesirable language (please don’t stoop to racial slurs), they’ll mark your number as ‘hostile’. This will propagate to other lists, removing you from them before you’re even added. She swears (pun intended) by it.
Edit: it’s important you don’t threaten them, lest you be added to a different kind of list…
Barack OSAMA is a soshaless and I WILL TERRORISM YOU and the like. Got it.
That… that’s the opposite of what I said to do
hhahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha
I just like the fact that “Fuck off” has the same functionality as stop for some systems.
If it’s a non-racial cuss, she’s sent it to these folks. One bloke had the audacity to ask her to stop using that type of language… so she used it even harder.
White dudes for Harris? This name seems a parody
I hate how everyone seems dead set on separating everyone by the color of their skin. Jesus Christ, y’all mind if I just exist as a human instead of what color I am?
Whatever happened to UNITY?
Oh that’s right, Occupy Wall St. happened.
They are a real group. They’re part of a coalition with the White Women for Harris, who raised between $2-$8 million for Kamala Harris. Pantsuit Nation is rising up and New Balance Kingdom is going to match their work.
The scammers always have a field day with elections because so many people are too politically charged to do research. By LAW, every US campaign has to have the actual name of the person who’s sending texts and if it doesn’t, you know it’s a scam. If you have T-Mobile, you can forward the text to 7726 (SPAM) and they’ll shut it down. Never ever respond to these. Don’t even say “STOP” because then they’ll know it’s a number connected to a real human and not a business… a human they can scam.
I would be afraid its a trap, like clicking the link might add me to a radical MAGA hit-list or something.
There really is a white dudes for Harris group that’s doing an event this week. A friend (who’s crazy smart and i would trust him above most) share info about it. I was initially skeptical because of the name but looked into it because it came from him. I thought they had an interesting writeup about changing the white dude image.
Still not a good idea to cold text people about it.
I have definitely seen an uptick in these over the last two weeks. Multiple times a day, some calls, too. I was involved in some activism 10-15 years ago so I accept it (still baloney tho). It has started on my work phone as well…
Good thing my browser doesn’t keep cookies, or that might’ve leaked my Google info. But here’s what the link goes to:
I just have so many thoughts
Omg I h9 this so fucking much
My first thought was ‘Russian troll farm’ and I never got to the second thought.
Why is it so obsessed with “white dudes”? Even if you are soecifically tagreting them, it seems odd to keep repeating it, especially since people who are goinf to vote a black woman of asian origins as preaident should tend not to be white supremacists
Yeah political messages aren’t covered under antispam laws, so definitely don’t send a stop message. You’ll immediately get messages from a bunch of other sources now that they have you.
They already have the number. PACs pass around number lists all the time. Sending a stop message every now and then is the cost of your phone not blowing up during campaign season.
I have a Pixel. I did not realize how bad this gets until work made me take an iPhone as my work phone. Holy hell. No amount of “Delete and report as junk” helps.
Spam features will keep me in the Pixel lineup’s cold grasp for eternity. I could never deal with OP’s notification tray.
Is the reason I dont ever see these because pixel hides these
Yeah google messages has pretty good automatic spam detection, you can check the spam folder and see how many are in there.
Lately my Pixel cant even keep up with all of them and some are slipping through. Going into the spam folder is almost comical.
Your country is crazy.
I get maybe 3-4 spam messages a year and those are all scams, not ads, much less political ads (which I don’t think would even be legal)
I have never once received one of these messages. Doesn’t happen to everyone.
deleted by creator
Political organizations and non-profits are exempt from this list.
True, law needs to be updated.
I like to waste as much time as possible with them because I have no life
Actual scambaiting is the closest thing I have to religion these days
Sounds legit.
/s
when it started getting really bad, i started replying stop. it maybe made things a little better but i still get a fair number if these (including this one). it definitely hasn’t made it any worse.
I’ve had decent luck replying with goatse with trump’s face shopped in, gotten multiple ‘i’m just going to unsubscribe you’ messages back hahaha.
Isn’t there a risk that the number you reply to might be a premium rate number, and replying at all might land you a big charge?
I don’t get many of these types of messages, but I always just block them.
I guess I’ll find out. I have wondered if any of these are just scams.
Fingers crossed you don’t get burned!
