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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    For sure don’t in any way respond, just report spam and block the number. Lots of these things are phishing attempts, trying to get you to give personal information (or even money), and aren’t connected to the things they mention.

      Lots Most Pretty well all of these things are phishing attempts.

      Follow parent’s advice.

      Never, ever, ever respond, even reverse-uno.
      Otherwise, you’ve helped them.

      There’s no “Report Junk” on iOS Messages unless it’s an email address texting you.

        Every message I have received on my iPhone from someone not in my contacts has this after that latest message:

        Not true—I just successfully reported this text as junk. It tries to auto-detect spam, and coming from an email address is one of the signs of that, but not the only one.

        how can people in the US live with something like that?

        We’ve had a number of deeply corrupt individuals in charge of our federal department meant to police this sort of thing.

        And how does this not massively hurt her chances?!

        Even odds are that it’s meant to.

      As a Democrat, I agree.

      But I kinda want to see how deep this goes.
