Every day I get at least 5, and I just hit the button to block them and report as spam. I don’t want to reply to the messages since that will probably only make it worse. Is there somewhere I can register the number that’ll spam them back or something?

Edit: legal suggestions only, please

    You must be referring to ActBlue. I just send the links back to them at info@actblue.com. There needs to be a class action lawsuit against those assholes. We donated to Sanders back in 2016. They sold our info to EVERY democratic campaign in the entire country.

        Yep. It all goes back to those assholes. I contacted them about it several times. They say it’s not them, but the indiviycsmpains that I need to contact. Only, those campaigns spam from ghosted numbers and automated emails.

        So I lodged a complaint to the FCC and they told me to change my email and they won’t do anything to stop it.

        So i told ActBlue that as a result of their predatory bulshit, I won’t be donating to the DNC ever again. An I will be suggesting others do the same.

          Shouldn’t you tell DNC that you wont be donating again because of ActBlue? I would think that has a higher chance of getting things happening. ActBlue probably doesn’t care who you donate to, as long as they are hired to spam. But if DNC is told that people are actively dropping donations because of ActBlue, they’ll probably tell them to stop or stop using them. At least one would assume so, but the world is mad and people insane so probably just best to move into the woods and read star signs.
