I'm not in the US and I don't think I've ever been emailed by a political party in the UK where I live. So I don't know how it normally is. But one of my throwaway emails somehow ended up on a Trump campaign list in 2020 and it was pretty insane. I'd get multiple emails per day saying I'd been hand picked by Trump to do something, which was usually either to send him some money or fill in a survey. Once I was hand picked by someone to e-sign Trump's birthday card, and probably also to send him some money. I can definitely see how any remotely good spam filter would be catching a lot of that stuff. And also there was no opt-in before they started emailing me and their unsubscribe button never worked.
