    I did that around the 2020 election and got a very sad text back that a real human sends those texts and didn’t deserve the “abuse”

    So if anyone is wondering, 'fuck off" worked great in rural America years ago. Maybe it still does, because I didn’t get any local calls last year asking for my money and vote

      Yes, I’m aware they’re real humans, but blasting someone, who specifically requests not to be blasted, with 10 texts a day, is emotional and mental abuse, and the human doing this is not a person a would ever respect (while I wish them no harm). I see these organizations only a couple notches above those asshole scammers. And it’s because they’re real humans that the berating actually works.

      Also, I should clarify what I mean as ‘berating’ in this context: a simple “fuck off” or “who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you texting me?!”. I do not mean that you should go calling them slurs or the like. Don’t insult the person, only be extremely hostile in your response.
