asking for donations.
They are so tiresome, especially around monthly and quarterly deadlines.
Problem is a lot of these texts quote Dems or are masquerading as directly from Dems when they are from Super Pacs, and they are so freaking annoying, I know it turns people off.
I don't know if the DNC can do anything about independent Super Pacs, but I'm sure most people don't know these texts are often NOT directly from the Dem party!
But also the party needs a better texting strategy.
Here's a couple I just got:
"Goodbye, Social Security.
We're begging now... If you care even a little bit, rush $9 to save Social Security >> go.democracyfirstpac.org/033134

Stop2End"
Ones like these are very obnoxious

" my name), we need $6K TODAY to fully match Elon's texting campaign to reach FL special election voters. 🚨
Polling shows the Democratic candidate is in the lead in FL-06, but early voting turnout still has Republicans ahead. Everything comes down to turnout tomorrow on election day.
When Elon dropped $20,488.90 to prop up his MAGA bootlickers, we launched our counterstrike. Our precision-targeted persuasion texts are firing out NOW.
It's time for us to leave it all on the field. Chip in whatever you can and let's finish the job: turnleftpac.us/final-push?t=TCDkoy
Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!

Of course, I also get texts from the Dem Governors Association, the Dem Senate Campaign Committee and various candidates.
And this is on top of these endless emails.
But the texts seems more invasive because they pop up along with personal messages from family and friends.
