Bill E. 658 Posted December 29, 2020 Anyone else getting these? I donated a few hundred through Trump's website several months ago. I never gave money to a campaign before but had a good few years and wanted to support the re-election. Since then I get 15-20 SPAM texts a day. Hey this is Donald Trump... It's Mitch...Help. It's Don Jr or Nikki Haley . Give today and get a 5x match. All day every day even Christmas. My real texts get pushed way down in the BS. As soon as the election was over it was the same , just "Hey bill it's Ted Cruz or David Purdue or it's Kelly We have to hold the Senate." I know as soon as this is over they will switch to "We have to take back the House in 22. I doubt it will ever end. i can not believe harassing their own supporters would ever work. I can see a request every week or so but 20 a day? I guess it is my own fault for putting my phone number down on the credit card submission form but Fock if I will ever give a dime to any politician ever again.

GobbleDog 811 Posted December 29, 2020 I get tons of them.... political ads and regular ads. I want to know which company sold me out. Amazon, Bass Pro Shop, etc. ??? "Hey Gobble, lose 80 lbs in 2 weeks!" Seeing as how I weigh 160 lbs, that diet would probably kill me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Jesus, it’s a scam man, he bilked you guys out of so much money it’s amazing. The entire stop the steal campaign was for this bilking, he’s prob still raking it in from Drobs and others to this day long after the election has been long over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than Michael Bloomburg's presidential run, which is a special case involving a mulit-bajillionaire, every other political campaign from both main and third parties that I've ever come across of raises money via donations and fundraising. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They all live off donations. And if you don't donate, your candidate probably won't win. Thus the weekly news stories about how much so and so has raised. Better to donate anonymously, because you will absolutely be inundated with requests if you don't. The dude you responded to never has a clue. You can tell those people who never started, built or hired anything or anyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really so do you think it is just Trump? All political campaigns do it. Remember Sanders in 16 going on about how many millions of people donated. He did not win. Was that a SCAM? Or Bidens campaign outraising Trump in private donations in '20. Scam? The Dem candidates in GA are outraising the R's here in GA but mostly from out of state donations.

Agree. I just think 20 texts a day is a tiny bit excessive. It turned me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never donated to the dems but they still got my number. They've since stopped which is nice. Tmobile has an ok spam filter that keeps most of it from me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
