I get it, the texts are annoying, but it’s worth a candidate losing just so you can stop getting text messages? Just delete them.

It doesn’t take you off the list forever it takes you off the list for the remainder of that election or it should be

I’m sorry you consider volunteers “weirdos”

It sometimes takes a few days, but yeah, it should take you out of the system

I don’t think they’re buying it. I think they’re sharing it with each other. But I don’t know that for sure so don’t quote me.

Yes!!!

I can’t remember the last time I got a Robo call. I’m sorry you’re still getting those.

No, but their systems do, and most of the calls are from actual volunteers

Have you told them that you voted already?

I mean, it doesn’t stop the calls and text about other things, but it does about the vote

What do you wish the DNC was doing that you don’t think they’re doing?

THREE WINS TODAY, Oct 5, 2025

If you live in a state with a Nov election and you’re tired of getting calls and texts, I have a really easy solution. Vote as soon as possible. They keep bugging you because you haven’t voted yet, once you vote the relentless attempt to contact you should stop.

So vote as soon as you are able, and spare yourself the grief of the dreaded calls.

It helps with polling, it helps inspire other people to go vote, it helps target GOTV efforts and you will not be bothered by the influx of volunteers trying to contact you.

Most states have elections on Nov 4, and for many of them voting has already started.

Then I highly recommend taking it to your nearest drop box, they are, by far, the safest and easiest way to return your ballot. And then you’re done.

It’s not that easy in every state, or even districts within California, but the point is, the sooner you can get it done, the better.

(different counties can give it different designations, but it’s exactly the same thing)

If that is all that’s on your ballot it should take you approximately 5 minutes to fill out, and fill out the signature, address and date box on the envelope.

or canvasser at their door.

If you are in California, for instance, you are getting your ballot at some point this week. Depending on where you live, there will only be one thing on that ballot, it will either be called Proposition 50 or State Measure 50
3/

If you vote, you get taken off that list. So use an early voting option, and just vote.

And it’s not just about not getting the text or call either. There are a finite number of volunteers, so when you are still in the system, you make it harder to reach those who really do need a call or text,

Are you in a state with a major election this year (CA, ME, NJ, PA, VA etc) and you’re sick of getting calls and texts from volunteers asking you to vote?

Well, I have a solution.

Just vote.

As in, you are still on a list of people who haven’t voted.

I am

Which will hopefully be out by Saturday the more comments I get on this the more likely it will be out faster

If you’ve never heard of Heather Booth, you will know who she is very soon because I got to interview her, and if you are apathetic or think that protesting doesn’t matter or think that elections don’t matter you will not believe that anymore after watching this interview.
