Google Android Message will usually detect this spam and delete it, bt only AFTER showing it to you. It's insane!
Is iPhone any better?
Or are any cell carriers better?

If you donate once to any candidate either through winRed or Act blue, you will forever be farmed out as a donor: your email, phonenumber will be mass emailed to all candidates as a person who has given cash, and the total amount of the cash you gave will be noted as well.
If you choose to donate, use a spam email explicitly for the purpose, and don't use your text number. Unsubscribe from each and every text and email you do get from politicians. Write an email to each candidate youre contacted by that you wish to remove from consideration as a donor, not to be farmed out or contacted again.
Both Republicans and Democrats do the same behavior for the same reasons: less than 5% of their constituents contribute towards their campaigns.
Democrats are annoying in that even when you sign up for volunteering, they'll add you to the donars list too.
They do not have a Constitutional right to spam you.
They have an exemption from anti-harassment laws, which they wrote for themselves.

Stop does not stop the texts. They simply start texting you from other numbers.

Most are programmed that if you text back STOP, it unsubscribes you.
This. It means you don't know how to send a command to unsubscribe OP.
+1. It literally says “text STOP to unsubscribe”. If you do, they are legally required to unsubscribe you. BTDT. It works.
It has worked for emails for me but not for texts.

Which would be great if anyone read incoming texts. But they don’t. They just click you as active and it makes the problem worse. What is so hard about texting stop? I’ve never had that fail.

I am also looking for a way to stop the ActBlue from spamming my phone-- no matter how many times I text STOP or unsubscribe, they've apparently sold my info to some new Dem. Now I'm just angry that they won't take NO for an answer. So glad others have had an easier time getting them to stop. Not everyone has the same experience.
If anyone has found out what is REALLY going on, would love to hear it. If you have nothing to actually add, don't bother responding. Solidarity, original poster.
It’s a vast left wing conspiracy. Clearly.

I used ActBlue to donate in 2016. It was a terrible decision.
I get hyperbolic emails from dems running to this day.
It’s a shame, because it really is an easy way to donate. But I’m not making that mistake again.

I have also texted stop and systematically block. They do it again from a different number. I agree it’s an awful tactic. I get several orgs and one texts stuff like “11th attempt!!!” It’s annoying.

Other than Unsubscribing there is no way to stop them. They sell your info to all Dems running. Sadly, best way is never to donate.
