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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

    Your instinct is wrong. If you want them to stop, you have to tell them to stop.

    Yes, they will add you to other phone lists, but I think they’ll do that whether you text STOP or not. Also, it takes like 5 seconds.
