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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

      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)

        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.
