I got one from (I think) the DNC about 10-15 years back. I told them I didn't want to be on their list. I got another one some months later and was far less polite. I also contacted the ISP their email address was associated with.
At the time a friend was working customer support for a different (national) ISP. She informed me that they'd been kicked off the ISP she worked for *and two others that she knew of* for violating ISP rules about spamming.
Like spammers, they don't really *care* if they alienate *you*. There are enough marks that'll cough up dough that it's worth their while to keep doing it.
