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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    Look, no campaign wants to annoy voters but also they want everyone to be contacted. Just respond with “STOP” and it will stop. Unfortunately, every campaign buys your data so nearly ever campaign will send you a text.

    Also, they use various services to send these texts so each the numbers sent from will change so you can’t just block them.
