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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    Isn’t there a risk that the number you reply to might be a premium rate number, and replying at all might land you a big charge?

    I don’t get many of these types of messages, but I always just block them.
