If I ever find out who put me on the Sanders mailing list.. I am going to kick their butts

into the middle of next week.. I have nothing against Bernie..but sweet mother mcrea. I am an O'Malley supporter and Bernie's flyers are the size of a pizza pan.. every day one of these over sized behemoths is in my mailbox.. pushing the top up on my mailbox and my regular mail gets pushed out the top .. Good grief Bernie campaign.. cut down on the size of those flyers..

I'm a monthly ActBlue contributor (have been since before he announced), and I get the occasional snail-mail, but nothing like *that*.

Strange are the ways of the computer-generated lists, I guess...

I have purchased gear from the Sanders website, and I have joined about every Bernie Sanders group, mailing list, and social media account out there, and I have never received anything like what you describe.

If you could, would you please take a picture of the media you are talking about and post a copy here? I would love to see what I am not receiving but probably should.

(I have tons of them) and it took me right to the unsubscribe link, no delay, no problem. I didn't complete the task though as I want to keep receiving his mailings.

multiple times. No joy.

Wrote them, emails stopped for a while, came back.

Perhaps they have fixed this as of now, but I am not making this up. And I'm a Bernie supporter.

and I've never gotten anything in the mail from his campaign. Nothing from O'Malley either, but I get things from the Clinton campaign.

Or are they just canvassers stuffing flyers into your mailbox (which they aren't allowed to do)?

I've noticed some knowledge gaps regarding this kind of thing with Bernie supporters in my area.

Both sides have access to the voter file. That is who did it. You. Your party, and your past participation. Voter files are public too...anyone can see you are a democrat, how often you vote, your past contributions, and solicit you. It's not a private venture, only for those who actually sign up on a candidates website.

Do you really not know any of this?

We get snail mail "fliers" all the freakin' time from candidates from every party you can dream up. And we damn sure didn't "sign up" for them. What the big deal? Got no recycling bin where you live?

Can't you dream up something even more petty to whine about?
