From northern Delaware up through Oxford and on to Millersville. Saw lots of small yard-size Biden-Harris signs on my trip to a small farmer's stand that I love--got lots of broccoli and cauliflower
The wingnuts definitely love their big, hand-made signs, though, and Quarryville appears to be a lost cause for us. Tiny little town, though. In Quarryville, I saw a big sign saying "Say No to Masks! Impeach Gov. Wolf." Saw a bumper sticker saying "Trump 2020--Make the liberals cry again!" and another hand-made sign saying "Leftist Hate won't stop the Trump Train".
All in all, though, I'd say I saw an equal number of Biden-Harris signs and Trump signs. I was rockin' my RESIST and Biden-Harris bumper stickers. My whole route was pretty much what I thought would be Trump-ville, so I felt pretty good. I still want to puke when I see ANY signs for 45, but the heck with them.

(2,186 posts)I've seen them....and he looks like the ridiculous assclown he is in them. Some got defaced and it was a minor scandal, but the last time I went that way someone had tried to fix them up. Smaller Biden-Harris signs also sprouted in between them, giving my eyes some respite.

(3,635 posts)that vote heavily Dem. Urban turnout should be better than last time, when some of our base stayed home. Suburban voters (especially women) have moved heavily in the Dem direction. Biden is doing better with whites across the board, as well as seniors. Biden is also from PA, and is thus culturally in sync with that region. So all of the fundamentals look good, and he is fighting hard for the state and taking nothing for granted.

(8 posts)Pass that Impeach Wolf sign every Sunday when I do the grocery shopping. The homemade sign actually says SAY NO TO MASKS (idiots).
Right next to it is one of those OpenPA signs that say Protect the Vulnerable...the disconnect with these people is confounding.

(2,186 posts)We are the "silent" and sometimes "non-voting" majority, if you look at just about every national poll on every issue ever (assault weapons, gay rights, abortion, the environment, etc.). That's why when we vote, we win. And that's why their only hope is gerrymandering, intimidation, and voter suppression.
