re: #20 Hecuba’s daughter

Question about political donations:
When I contribute to a candidate, the online system allows me to make automatic future payments of a smaller amount on a regular basis. If I do elect that option, will that spare me the constant barrage of texts soliciting future funds for that candidate?

Unfortunately, probably not.

It’s been my experience that the systems that set up automatic contributions and those that run the candidates’ email lists are separate, and that the only way to avoid the tsunami of fundraising bleats is to “unsubscribe”. Though contributions, unsurprisingly, will still continue.
