Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?

  1. never signed up for anything like this,
  2. never donated to or signed up for emails from the DNC, et al.,
  3. political texts like this come all the time, and
  4. I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

I have a Pixel. I did not realize how bad this gets until work made me take an iPhone as my work phone. Holy hell. No amount of "Delete and report as junk" helps.

Your country is crazy.

I get maybe 3-4 spam messages a year and those are all scams, not ads, much less political ads (which I don't think would even be legal)

I have never once received one of these messages. Doesn't happen to everyone.

Is the reason I dont ever see these because pixel hides these

Lately my Pixel cant even keep up with all of them and some are slipping through. Going into the spam folder is almost comical.

Yeah google messages has pretty good automatic spam detection, you can check the spam folder and see how many are in there.

Spam features will keep me in the Pixel lineup's cold grasp for eternity. I could never deal with OP's notification tray.
