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 I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)

For sure don't in any way respond, just report spam and block the number. Lots of these things are phishing attempts, trying to get you to give personal information (or even money), and aren't connected to the things they mention.

Just to note - white dudes for Harris is a real group.

I still wouldn't click the link, I'd go direct to their site if there was an interest there, just noting that it is a real group.

Yep, I looked them up just to see but, like you said, the fact that it exists doesn't mean anything. I didn't find anything (good or bad) associated with that phone number - could be spoofed.

~~Lots Most~~ Pretty well all of these things are phishing attempts.

Follow parent's advice.

Never, ever, ever respond, even reverse-uno.
Otherwise, you've helped them.

There’s no “Report Junk” on iOS Messages unless it’s an email address texting you.

Every message I have received on my iPhone from someone not in my contacts has this after that latest message:

Not true—I just successfully reported this text as junk. It tries to auto-detect spam, and coming from an email address is one of the signs of that, but not the only one.

Really? I wonder why. Though I've always assumed the one on my phone was from Verizon, not the app or the OS.
