ActBlue is fucking horrible. I’d advise everyone to stay the fuck away from those assholes unless you want to get your phone blown the fuck up for the next decade or so.

I donated to Bernie’s campaign back in 2016.

Now- I’m getting HAMMERED for money from politicians in every fucking state in America now.

I wish I were joking.

I contacted them to tell them to stop and they basically tell me they can’t. It’s not them sending the info- it’s just that they sold off my info and I have to contact the individuals that are spamming me directly.

Even though they spam from phony phone numbers.

DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. Unless you need to change your phone number.

Dude, you’re not wrong. I haven’t even heard some of these politicians, and I’m like “who??”

Yep, they come in from random races all over the country. It would be great if I had the money to throw around if I liked the candidates, but that's just not happening. I started spamming Stop a few weeks ago and thankfully the texts have dried up. It was ridiculous!

Between Citizens United and the Trump coin, it's all dark money.

Pretty sure all of America is dark money at this point.
