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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    Yeah political messages aren’t covered under antispam laws, so definitely don’t send a stop message. You’ll immediately get messages from a bunch of other sources now that they have you.

      They already have the number. PACs pass around number lists all the time. Sending a stop message every now and then is the cost of your phone not blowing up during campaign season.
