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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    In regards to not having signed up, depending on what state you’re in, the parties can query your voter records, some states make your phone number available in those queries. There are other avenues too, like Colorado’s DMV sells your personal information to third parties without your consent, for example.
