alt Hacker NewsEven for president or senator? I usually get texts for both main party candidates at some point in the election cycle, seems a bit drastic not to note vote for President or vote or write-in someone whom you share no values but refrains from spamming SMS

I already fall back to write-ins a lot as I have other rules that will disqualify candidates in my book.

Politicians are like the ad industry (scummy)... I owe them nothing. If they choose to run, so be it, but if they spam me, they're off the ticket. Just like captcha sites.
I absolutely refuse to vote for anyone who does this, and if it means I don't vote so be it. No exceptions.
Besides which, I never share values with the candidates for national office anyways. Nobody is willing to actually protect civil liberties any more, and I'm not going to vote for someone who will take away my freedom when it's politically expedient.
