For those that don't want to click the article and feel both parties are just as likely to support such a bill, the answer is Republicans.

Both parties send spam email, but across all of my inboxes since I first got on the internet in '95, Republican candidates spam the most and are the most misleading in the content of those spam messages. I won't speculate why. It's just something I have observed.

  My observation is the opposite, I actually very very rarely get anything from Republicans, but non stop garbage from Democrats.

    Even if one party objectively spams more than others, personal observation could be biased by (a) how your email address has been passed around and (b) subjective assessment of what constitutes “spam”.

      There was once a study that "proved" Democrats were smarter because could recognize the letter W faster than Republicans. This was back during the George "W" Bush period. Basically one group was enraged at the sight of a W, so they were quick to spot it.

  Same experience. Dems seem to not pass emails around as much from my limited experience, giving their messaging possibly less exposure to spam filter training. I'm on Democrat and Republican mailing lists for various candidates, and for the last 4 years I've been getting people trying to sell me MAGA hats and the like. I'm still on IJR's mailing list despite never signing up for it. I have like 3 other tangential publications that are along the same messaging that last year were sending me like 4 emails per day. Never had Dem merchandise or tangential publications land in my inbox before, and I'm on a couple congresspeople's mailing lists, and have given my email address to state and national Dem organizations.

  I feel like for a very long time, the Right has been the most vocal about personal pride, "law and order," being an upstanding citizen, etc., but at the same time it's the Left that's still hamstringing themselves by trying to apply these ideals to politics. I thought this was just a US thing, but then I saw the same shit happening during the brexit fiasco. I don't understand it, honestly.
