33. I Had A Similar Problem...
Sun Nov 10, 2024, 08:10 PM
Nov 2024

I would get emails from various Democratic candidates asking for money, but they were addressed to my dad. Try to unsubscribe and you get a page that says something says if you’re not who the email is addressed to, in order to be removed, you need to contact whoever put you on their list. Yeah, no. Screw that. I still hit the unsubscribe button.

The spam texts and spoofed-number calls were incessant until Election Day, when I had none of either. A few spam calls since, but nowhere near as many as before.

The Democrats need to tone down that shit. It’s ridiculous.
