Do you know why you're not seeing many Hillary yard signs or bumper stickers?

[NightWatcher]

Actually, you know why already.

Hillary supporters won't slash your tires, or key your car, and none that I've ever heard will throw a brick through your window or try to run you off the road.

But thanks to the New Hate, we know some Trumpers have and will.

Forget stickers and signs. Stay safe and vote this asshole into oblivion.

[underpants]

1. I completely agree with you

Its pure intimidation.

[TheBlackAdder]

120. I told my kids, if I put up a "TRUMP-PUTIN '16" sign, a brick would be through the car's windshield.

[MFM008]

2. We have one

In front window. We put all our signs there. We live on a street corner and since all the Republican signs disappear from that corner............. we have always put them in the window.

[cry baby]

3. I wanted to put my Hillary sticker on my car, but I live in a crazy trump area of

East Tx and my 88yr old mom told me that I shouldn't do it. People around here are true trumpsters with everything that the term implies.

I decided against putting the sticker on the car, but I flip the bird every time I drive by the house down the street that has the "Killary For Prison - Lock Her Up" sign in their front yard. I'm always hoping they're looking out their window.

[PJMcK]

13. Stay safe, cry baby.

Some of Donald Trump's supporters are a far ways off the edge of the map. Don't get into trouble with them!

[cry baby]

62. LOL, I confess that I hope these stoopid people don't have a shotgun with them

as they see me pass by.

That sign just infuriates me!

[Laha]

141. That's a pretty disgusting slur against the native people of north america.

Please don't use it.

[PJMcK]

142. Many apologies and I changed it

I'm truly sorry, Laha, as I hadn't realized the insult in that phrase. I've changed my post and thank you for pointing out my error.

Have a great weekend.

[Laha]

149. Thank you

Your response is very much appreciated.

Sorry it took me a day to get back to you, life got in the way.

[OriginalGeek]

47. lol, i was just wondering that today

In the last 2 days I've seen a yuuuge increase in the number of Trumper stickers. I was just this morning wondering to myself if flipping them the bird was enough. I wanna do it but then I remember I live in a stand-your-ground state and they could easily say they felt threatened. Ain't tryna get shot.

[cry baby]

64. When I see some dufus in his pick-um-up truck with the confederate flag or

the little stick figure peeing on something, those ignorant stickers will often be accompanied by a "secede" sticker or some form of trump sticker. I take the opportunity to look at them and shake my head as if to say "There is little hope for you."

I don't think I would actually flip them off if I know they're looking at me...I'm too cowardly...afraid of getting shot or having tobacco spit at me. Ewww

[Chellee]

93. The people at the end of my street have a 4x8 Trump sign. (Indiana)

And someone who shops at my co-op (the co-op!?! Really!?!) has one of those "Hillary for prison" bumper stickers. It's infuriating, and terrifying, and depressing all at the same time.

I'm too nervous to put my bumper stickers on too.

[cry baby]

115. I understand. Stay safe! nt

[leftynyc]

4. I realize it's much different coming

from NY but I have two large Hillary buttons on my purse - one showing to anyone in front of me, the other to anyone behind me. All I've gotten is smiles - just another day to count being a NYer as a blessing.

[yeoman6987]

5. For me it's HOA bans all signs

And I have never put a sticker on my car and never will.

[Brainstormy]

8. Same here with HOA but

in 2008 an Obama sticker got my car keyed. (Georgia)

[yeoman6987]

9. Ugh! I hate hearing that. Such nastiness.

[raccoon]

33. And such cowardice. nt

[Nevernose]

12. My state exempts political speech

From HOA rules, within reason. I can't put up a billboard, but I'm allowed to put one in my window. I don't, out of unspoken agreement, because we don't want to state at each other's signs.

[geardaddy]

22. Same here with our HOA

[meow2u3]

66. My apartment building bans all signs

Even signs posted inside my window.

I don't like to put bumper stickers on my car because it's so damn hard to take them off when it comes time to sell the car.

[LeftyMom]

6. On a recent trip to the bay area I saw three,

counting two on one car.

There are no roving bands of Trump supporting tire slashers in Oakland.

[homegirl]

38. There are

yard sign thieves. A friend has had three Hillary signs removed from her front yard.

[LeftyMom]

118. If there are bumper sticker peeling ninjas I want to know their secrets.

Those things should be everywhere because campaigns give them to small donors, often several in successive mailings asking for more dough.

[alfredo]

95. They drive in from Bakersfield key your car.

[tapermaker]

7. speak for yourself

I would key a trump car no trouble. I have given myself over to the dark side. I hate these bastards who want trump worse than the shed skin in the bathtub that leaves a ring.

[philosslayer]

10. Have you?

If not, whats stopping you?

[MFM008]

17. Just coz you feel like it

Doesn't mean you do it.

[tapermaker]

20. I live in mcminnville or.

There are no trump stickers here. Western Oregon is a sane place to live.I see totally covered rear ends on cars plastered with coexist and peace signs and Obama stickers from elections past ( I have not seen a Clinton decal yet ) The republicans live in the east mostly (one of the top republicans in the state uses his website to ask for your pee. ) As far as why don't I or have I Keyed a repub? Well I will answer maybe, maybe not

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

21. Curry County Oregon has a few Trump stickers

and fewer Clinton ones.

[Kilgore]

57. Just the opposite here in SW WA

Lots of Trump north of Vancouver

Maybe its the fertilizer up here.

[calimary]

60. LOVE McMinnville! We stopped there on a trip home from farther north.

The nicest people you could ever want to meet or hang out with.

[GulfCoast66]

111. Do as you will

You brag that you live in a sane area and then say that you could see yourself keying a vehicle with a Trump sticker? Kind of a juxtaposition.

And realize that if a Hillary supporter sees you key a vehicle, even one with a Trump sticker you will likely be explaining your action to a LEO. I dislike Trump supporters. Vandals are shitheads.

[tapermaker]

114. in the coming race/ 2nd civil war

I will be needed to fight for truth justice and the American way. My many misdeeds will be forgiven. I and the legions of my brown brethren will fight the good fight . viva la revolution !!!!!

[GulfCoast66]

117. Knock yourself out

Are you building your underground bunker?

[tapermaker]

119. why yes , who told you?

I divert attention by telling people its for growing pot .

[GulfCoast66]

124. I suggest you use a little pot

It will reduce your urge to key Trump supporters cars.

Have a good evening.

11. They don't *dare* mess with my Clinton-Kaine car sticker, rear window bottom right corner

'cause I've got this: in the bottom left corner. That must irritate them the heck MORE, since the vast majority of Repukes and DRUMPFsters are chicken hawks.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

30. The Chicken Hawks wouldn't have a clue

Unfortunately, most of the chicken hawks wouldn't know a Vietnam service ribbon/medal if it jumped up and bit them in the Trump.

At their convention they used to mock Senator Kerry's honorable service.

[OriginalGeek]

50. My grandpa gave me his truck

because he's too tired to drive any more. He's retired Air Force (actually, he started when they were the Army Air Corps) and I'm not sure what sticker he has on his truck but I remember when we'd drive onto the base to go to the BX the guard at the gate saluted him. But now I see it's faded so I'm not sure if anyone would know what it was. I guess I best not depend on that for protection.

[awoke_in_2003]

70. There is one medal that all

military people will salute, regardless of rank- the Medal of Honor.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

79. Did he retire as an officer?

An ordinary base pass should identify someone as an officer (active or retired), and the guard would salute.

Good idea, not relying on a sticker for protection.

[OriginalGeek]

90. Yes -

he was a Chief Warrant Officer but I have no idea how that shakes out in the hierarchy. He was a mechanic and proud to be one. I just remember thinking as a kid "Hey that's pretty cool. They saluting my grandpa!"

Of course he always has been and always will be one of my personal heroes so I just figure everybody should salute him.


A couple weeks ago he asked me to drive him out to the BX and it was kind of sad. He just wanted some shirts and a few groceries but I really think he was just thinking of shopping with grandma. He didn't get anything there he couldn't have gotten at his local Publix and the nearby Penneys. (The BX is a good 45 minute~hour drive depending on traffic). But he liked looking around the store - we went up and down every single aisle. On the way home he said "thanks for bringing me out here...I imagine that was my last trip there." (he's 95)

He and Grandma used to go every other week or at least once a month. But she's been gone a few years now and he really misses her. I worry that he's in a hurry to see her again - a) because I don't like thinking about a world without him in it and, b) I'm an atheist so I don't think he's gonna get see her again.

But there's nothing I won't do for that man so however he wants to play out his final years I'm here to help him.

[lindysalsagal]

81. Someone removed my atheist democrat bumper sticker at stop n shop.

A real christian, no doubt.

[calendargirl]

108. Wow

Are you sure it wasn't a Jew or a Muslim? Maybe it was an Atheist who was just an asshole?

The tolerance of Christian hatred here never ceases to amaze me.

[Nevernose]

14. In 2008 they just didn't hand out signs in my area.

They said -- correctly, in my opinion -- that the money was better spent on GOTV efforts. If I wanted to help, phone calls and social media were way more useful

[SunSeeker]

15. Exactly. nt

[Wounded Bear]

16. More projection...

Trump is claiming that there is a silent underground of supporters for him that will out-vote Clinton this fall. As usual, it is a form of projection, the real underground supporters are Clinton voters. It's not just about painting your adversary with your own bad points, it's about claiming that good things about your opponent apply to you.

[Blue_Tires]

19. I see bumper stickers here in VA

but yeah, a Dem yard sign where I live is just begging for someone to steal it or simply fuck with you...

[TeamPooka]

23. We are the Silent majority this time. Except I'm still pretty vocal and public about it.

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. just back from central Missouri

Rump signs EVERYWHERE, I mean EVERYWHERE - zero HRC - plus plenty of confederate flags

[dawnie51]

25. Absolutely!

I was confronted by the car behind me in line at MCD's a few years ago about my Obama sticker; I am a grandmother, and look it, and this guy was in a huge pickup and probably younger than my son. So I know what you mean. Be safe. But also good, at least around here. Very very few Trump signs. Nothing like the Repub signs from years past. Maybe 5 percent if that.

[Missn-Hitch]

26. A supporter of the orange menace electrified his sign.

http://www.kiro7.com/news/local/bellingham-man-electrifies-his-donald-trump-yard-signs/439215758

I completely agree. No signs or stickers for me. Just waiting by my the mailbox to cast my votes - straight D all the way. Cheers.

[Gman]

27. Probably the biggest reason is you have to buy them.

[gratefultobelib]

42. I've thought that myself, that is the fact that you have to buy yard signs, bumper stickers, etc.

Yard signs are $20 apiece. I've always put out yard signs and this is the first time I've had to pay (I admit I checked in tRumpland and yard signs are 2 for $20.) I still put up 2 Hillary yard signs and so far, a week later, they're still there. I live outside of KC in MO.

[Gman]

52. At one time yard signs were mandatory

In any election for any office. They create the appearance of great support and promote name recognition. Seems the last time we got yard signs to put out for free for a prez election was 1996. There weren't much for Gore and they're for sale now since about Kerry in 04.

They are still a must for down ballot races.

[trof]

89. Yeah, they were free for the asking in the olden days.

[LynneSin]

28. I'm so glad I live in a part of the US where you can put your Hillary signs out

Very strongly progressive in Northern Delaware. I think the few times we see Trump signs we just look funny at the person who has it out. Because up here Trump signs = racist asshole. And we shame racist assholes in NoDel

[RKP5637]

129. Anytime I see a Trump sticker on a car, often with flags flying on the windows, they look like an

absolute bigoted racist asshole.

[DemoTex]

29. You are spot on!

I have seen one Hillary yard sign here in ultra-red upstate South Carolina, and that sign lasted less than 24 hours. I don't know if it got ripped down, or if the homeowners decided to take it down.

On the other hand, I have seen ZERO Trump yard signs (and only two Trump bumper stickers). That is unheard of at this point in the campaign in this GOP stronghold. Usually, at presidential election time, my neighborhood is a virtual grove of GOP yard signs.

Something is up, and I don't think it bodes well for Trump.

[redstateblues]

132. I live in the most conservative county in TN and I've seen one Trump yard sign

and 0 bumper stickers. I'm sure most of the Repubs are too embarrassed to be seen with one even though my backward state will still vote for him.

[LisaM]

31. I don't even want to wear my button and I live in Seattle.

Frankly, I had the same problem in 2008. I eventually put it in my coat pocket.

[Yallow]

32. I Have A #LockHimUp Sign On The Back Of My Car

This honey badger doesn't give a shit.

[BBri]

34. Uh, yep.

Said the same thing to a friend of mine the other day. I don't want some a$$hole vandalizing my yard or keying my car, etc.

[MoonRiver]

35. I have seen more Hillary signs, granted not many, than Rump ones

in Kansas.

[austinlw]

36. I used have the back of my car covered

in stickers during the dark years of Bush a decade ago here in Austin. No problems. Then a few years ago we moved out west of town into a very R precinct. The Obama sticker I had on my car seemed to cause road rage, so I took it off. Live back in Austin now, but have refrained from stickers or yard signs. People are just too crazy now.

[foo_bar]

37. maybe.

It could be a "Bradley Effect" or a reverse Bradley Effect, but I suspect voters are keeping their real decision close to the vest.

[maddiemom]

39. I'm a Democratic party volunteer in western PA.

People ask for Hillary signs all the time. We are unable to get them in this part of the state (not sure about Pittsburgh). They just are not available, and I'm not sure why at this point.

[Demit]

44. Same here in the Phila suburbs.

It seems short-sighted, to me. A friend & I went out a few times to mall situations to register people to vote, and they gave us a table & chairs but were really vague on why they didn't have signs. "Brooklyn" wasn't giving them any, they said. This is a Dem-leaning county, too. I had to make my own sign, which felt kind of bush to me. Not professional. You should have a presence!

[johnp3907]

86. I was wondering why I see so few Hillary signs here in Greensburg.

New Trump signs seem to sprout up every day. Just saw a new one on my way home from work today.

[Chakaconcarne]

40. That is unfortunately true...

My wife gets harassed almost daily on the roadways. She is about ready to remove her sticker. She says most days she can live with it but can't predict what will happen if she's having an off day and is it really worth it? Same goes for me, but I am ore of a hot head and would certainly get into trouble, get shot..whatever... I also don't want my classic, daily driven car to get keyed.

[Jon King]

41. Happened this morning!

Backed out of driveway with anti Trump stickers on back of minivan. There was a trash truck partially blocking road so I stopped. An SUV came up behind me and driver immediately started waving his hands. Then cut past me, zoomed by the trash truck, barely missing it and the worker.

Trash truck moved within 10 seconds so I started driving. The SUV was going super slow waiting for me. He kept hitting his brakes, then pulled onto the left side so I could get next to him. I stopped and asked him what was wrong and he went ballistic. Yelling I was an ahole. Then he kept saying "get out of your car so I can kick your ass".

He was a medium size, very obese guy, and I am rather tall and work out a lot. So it did not make sense. He kept telling me to get out of my car and come over. I asked him why he would risk jail for no reason, he swore and drove away.

Later it hit me why a guy would challenge someone to a fight they likely could not win. I then remembered Florida's Stand Your ground Law. That's why he kept telling me to get out of my car, yet he did not get out of his.

Had I approached him aggressively, he could have stood his ground and shot me because in Florida a vehicle is considered valid under the law, same as your house.

Never saw a gun....but nothing else makes any sense. This is the sickos we are dealing with.

[Fast Walker 52]

49. wow--- scary shit

Too many psychos in this country

[awoke_in_2003]

71. Never pull over

I had one guy do something similar because he thought I flipped him off. The only thing I can think that I may have done was knock my ashes out the window (don't worry, butts go in the ashtray). He said "doing things like that can get you shot". It was stupid of me to have pulled over, but I know better. Just keep driving and call 911. It is not worth getting shot over.

[barbtries]

76. that is really scary.

if you hadn't been smart you could be dead right now. aargh.

[yankeepants]

43. I would fear for the lives of my pets

I live in crazy rural Northern NY.

[Different Drummer]

91. Definitely a valid concern. n/t

[Fast Walker 52]

48. I will be getting one, but I do worry about repercussions

[phallon]

51. I bought my HRC yard sign two weeks ago

Can't wait to get it so I can get in front yard.

[PasadenaTrudy]

53. I'm seeing lots of them

No Trump signs though. But, this is SoCal.

[Aristus]

54. Yeah. The Hillary-haters are heavily armed and have bad tempers and no brains.

And no compassion, no humanity, no scruples, no impulse control, no edifying self-worth, no...

[In_The_Wind]

72. Sigh. True but a sad state of affairs.

The Bernie Bird is still decorating the back window of my very small car.

[Cycle2016]

55. Just picked up 2 HRC signs today.

Anybody want to guess how long I will have them? Also, 1 for Ted Strickland. OH

Our local office had a lot. Right before election they will be getting in the larger ones for final push.

Also, will be making calls from home.

[calimary]

56. This is absolutely true!

I recall a NYTimes article a few months back, after the New York primary - where she blew EVERYBODY out, including the three remaining republi-CONS combined - Trump, Cruz, and Kasich. She got more votes than ANYBODY. It was so lopsided that Lawrence O'Donnell that night declared that "New York is NOT in play." And he was talking about the general election in the fall.

This story's reporter admitted to being surprised. This writer had spent weeks walking all over the district, noting, for example, a glaringly obvious indicator that it was a Bernie Sanders stronghold. There were yard signs, window placards, and bumper stickers GALORE - all over everywhere. The reporter noted that there were no such visible outward signs indicating support for Hillary. So, then, how did she win so resoundingly - in that same district? The reporter then realized that it was because Hillary supporters were under the radar. They didn't make noise. They didn't go blatant or obvious. They didn't pack any rallies. They didn't wear t-shirts or drive around with bumper stickers all over their cars. Nothing in any of their windows or front yards. All the Hillary supporters did was show up at the polls and make their preference count - THERE. There was a quiet, unseen, under-the-radar FLOOD of support for Hillary that this particular reporter completely missed. I might add - reporters from coast to coast missed it, too.

Maybe that's just how Hillary supporters are? Don't know. All I know, personally, is - during the primaries, I stayed under the radar myself. As did MANY women I encountered. At the checkout counter at our local grocery store, I closed my transaction with the usual smile, a "thank-you," and "don't forget to vote!" The woman nodded enthusiastically. I leaned in a little and mouthed "Hillary." She looked at me, glanced to one side and then another, as if to make sure she wouldn't be seen, and gave me a huge smile and nodded vigorously back at me. It was like - this was our little secret, or something. I saw that, personally, again and again and again. All over the place. Nobody seemed to want to be out in the open, but every one of 'em were fully behind Hillary.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see more of this in November. Especially considering the out-n-proud, hot-headed, nasty, in-yer-face offensive tactics of the Trumpsters. I need to point out here - Bernie supporters were NEVER openly hostile and confrontational like that. Not EVER. I NEVER saw that even in encounters with Bernie followers when a bunch of us went out canvassing for Hillary. Never met ONE who wasn't totally friendly and nice and not one bit hostile or insulting or menacing or in-yer-face. The Bernie supporters we met all said they would vote for Hillary in November, even though their hearts were elsewhere during the primary. And every single one of them was polite and congenial as can be.

It's the Trump people, totally, who already have their mad-on because they genuinely are pissed off that whites are slowly losing clout and they insist this should always be an Anglo-dominant country when in reality, it's changing! They're the ones who resent the hell outta that Black guy who's had the nerve to presume he could be President, when he's taken the job of a white guy who was "rightfully" more entitled to it. There's a HUGE discomfort in this country now, among those who hate the fact that the people of color AND women, too, who SHOULD "know their place" are no longer conforming "the way they used to" (or the way they used to HAVE TO). You kinda feel like you need to keep it to yourself around them, otherwise you might actually get hurt. Or find your tires slashed. WHICH, btw, I DID FIND, back during bush/cheney, when I had a Howard Dean sticker and a "bush KNEW" and a "War is Not the Answer" in my back window. My daughter borrowed my car and the tires went flat on her and it was clear they'd been slashed. She had to call us to come help and didn't want to wait alone for the Auto Club. She was spooked, too. So I took the stickers out. Don't really care about myself, but there's no way I would put my daughter in danger!

I also had some seriously angry middle-aged dude in a big ol' pickup truck on the freeway try to intimidate me - WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. He sped up in the lane next to me, and stayed alongside, trying to get my attention so I'd see his angry facial expression and his insulting gestures. He wanted me to know how much he hated how I felt from seeing my bumperstickers. He even pointed back toward them, to make it clear. It was rather upsetting. I finally started to slow up a little and sink back behind him, which I suspected he wouldn't want to do, even to stay side-by-side with me so he could continue to insult and threaten me. Finally, he gave up. Had to change lanes because his offramp was approaching. I stayed in my lane. But he was REALLY angry-looking, and bigger and beefier than I am, so I dread imagining what kind of confrontation might have erupted if we weren't on the freeway. It's easier to force somebody to pull over on surface streets than it is on the freeway. That was a most unnerving experience, gotta say.

[wallyworld2]

58. That's one thing

About being a Bernie supporter, I still wear the hat and still get positive remarks

on the other hand I do fear putting on a Hillary hat or a bumper sticker

Of which I purchased both today

We'll see what happens

But whatever does happen it sure won't be worse than chump in the White House

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

59. I'm seeing more of them now.

But this is the People's Republic of Minneapolis, where Trump supporters are scarce. I've only ever seen one Trump bumper sticker (next to a Blue Lives Matter sticker), and no signs.

[Guilded Lilly]

61. They can take your signs but...

They can't take your vote.

The stupidity of the masses of Trump supporters is in the same ignorant (ir)rational vein of their candidate. Louder voices= more votes. More lies=more votes. Deeper Trump BS=More votes.
It just boggles the mind.

The real power, the real intelligence is in the quiet, secure, confident vote in that booth. The Hillary vote.
Bigger signs, bigger lies, bigger bullshit doesn't mean one damn thing when we can still cast our vote...and will.

[forest444]

63. They've been at it for years.

I myself had my passenger side door keyed while sporting a Gore/Lieberman sticker. It was my first car, and I wore it as a badge of honor of sorts - until I had the body shop fix it, anyway.

I didn't make the same mistake again four years later (or since, frankly); but I noticed that Orange Cunty (CA) police were routinely stopping people with Kerry/Edwards signs. Mike Carona was the Sheriff at the time, so they may have been given encouragement to do so.

[eppur_se_muova]

65. Drove up to TN last weekend ... saw a couple of "Trump Country" yard signs.

Didn't ask my relatives how they're voting (wasn't appropriate, funeral) but I suspect some of the louder ones are Trumpians.

[OldRedneck]

67. Northumberland County, VA

Northumberland County VA is Republican territory. Our elections consistently go 60-40 Republican. Still, we Democrats are a close-knit, active bunch.

The Tea Party and county GOP have been busy papering the county with Trump-Pence signs. I just drove from home to building materials supplier 35 miles and two counties away. In my county there's a Trump-Pence sign every 1/4 mile, some closer. The FedEx guy who made a delivery to my house yesterday commented that he had not seen a SINGLE Hillary sign until he came to my house.

My first one was stolen. Well, actually some asshole poured flammable liquid on it and set fire to it one night about six weeks ago. I replaced it. I now sit on my porch from midnight until 1:30 - 2:00 AM on odd nights -- not every night, just random nights. I'm armed with a 100,000 candlepower spotlight, a Remington 12-gauge pump shotgun, and an AR-15 . . . all loaded. So far, I've had to pull the trigger on the spotlight twice . . . truck goes slowly down the road past my house, stops, turns around, switches off headlights and creeps up to my front yard. I wait to see the door open and someone get out and step into my yard then I light 'em up with the spotlight and chamber a round into the shotgun. You haven't lived until you've heard a round being chambered into a shotgun on a quiet, still night. Gets their attention. My sign stands untouched but it's a long time until the election.

My Clinton-Kaine bumper sticker on the back of my truck gets some attention, scowls, and middle fingers. I just smile, wave, and call back "Jesus loves you!!" Pisses 'em off big time. There is, of course, a .45 under the front seat.

[rusty quoin]

126. I'm in VA too. I'm glad you're on our side.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

68. I think it's more basic than that:

There still is not a lot of enthusiasm for her, even among the many who will vote for her.

Otherwise I should be seeing lots of Hillary signs and bumper stickers in the heavily Democratic part of the country I'm in. And location doesn't matter, so don't ask me to say exactly where. I still see Bernie bumper stickers here. Not a lot, but they're there. I see no Trump, Johnson, or Stein signs or bumper stickers.

73. My home is near a busy intersection of my city. Over the past 15 years, I've had people come up and

ask me if they could plant a "Vote for ....." sign on my property because of the amount of eyeballs that would see it daily.

For the ones that I supported, I said yes.

After the elections, they never came to pick them up.

I still have most of those signs.

My current favorite is Jerry Brown for Governor 2010. It's a big 3' x 5' sign, yellow and blue.

Fortunately for me, I live on a street where the vast majority of people support Hillary, being educated, minorities, and/or over the age of 50.

[barbtries]

74. well, i just put this

on the back of my car here in the blue part of NC:



we'll see how it goes. someone had already inexplicably torn off most of my obx turtle. could never figure that one out.

[NightWatcher]

75. I've seen a few of those here in Jax, Fl. I didn't see where they came from.

[barbtries]

77. they're free

from the dccc

[LyndaG]

78. Saw one Trump sign today.

In front of a run-down shack in Stratford, CT. Several Clinton/Kaine signs, mostly in Bridgeport and Trumbull. Many more for local elections.

[doc03]

80. Well that is not exactly true, here is what happened to

Trump signs this week. Check out the video I am unable to locate any Hillary or Strickland signs. I haven't seen one Hillary sign or bumper sticker this entire campaign in this area.

[lindysalsagal]

82. I seriously doubt whether signs will work on either side, this year.

fRumpers are morons.

[Motley13]

83. Had this discussion today with my friends at lunch

One said she saw 4 maggot signs in her neighborhood. I said, just assume all the others are for Hillary.

They are advertising their stupidity.

[Shandris]

84. So...they're all just AFRAID.

Not the kind of messaging I would have gone for, but whatever.

[otohara]

85. After The Primary I Put Mine Up/On

Frankly I was more worried about my car being keyed or vandalized by supporters of he who shall not be named.

[llmart]

88. In my part of Michigan.....

I see very few yard signs. It's the least amount of yard signs I've ever seen in a presidential election year. I've see a total of three yard signs/bumper stickers and no Hillary signs at all or Hillary bumper stickers. My guess is that many GOP'ers are voting for Hillary but don't want anyone to know!

[synergie]

136. I am currently in MI too, and have seen few yard signs.

But, quite a few people have walked into the HFA office to take the ones we put together. My mom refused one point blank though, citing possible rock throwing. (Not a thing that has happened, and we are not in a Trump area.)

[SleeplessinSoCal]

92. I'm in Trumpland Costa Mesa. I don't see Trump signs or bumper stickers either. Just a few Bernies.

Not one Hillary sign. But I may be getting one soon. I'm not sure if I want a civil war on my block.

[calendargirl]

103. Costa Mesa residents are known to be violent sign defacers

Brick throwers, and rabbit murderers. Better watch out for those Chianti'd up Trump supporters stumbling out of Maggiano's and headed to your block!

[kimbutgar]

94. My Dad told me years ago never out a political sticker on your car

He said this in the 1960's. He told too many idiots will try to key your car it run you off the road. I never understood it then but during the 2008 election I got it.

I live in a nice liberal are and still wouldn't put any sticker on my car.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

96. In 1996

someone I knew claimed Bob Dole was going to win because he saw more yard signs saying Dole/Kemp. We all know how that ended up.

[lupinella]

97. I know I tend to get pulled over MUCH more often

when I have bumper stickers on my car.
And I once had an asshole chase me with a gun. Didn't bother to call it in.
I do try to catch a glimpse of people with political bumper stickers - i always want to be surprised. This election, every Trump sticker has been disappointingly stereotypical.

When I say I 'try to catch a glimpse' I mean that. I have no desire to irritate evil people with anger issues whilst driving.

[calendargirl]

104. Didn't call the police when chased with a gun?

I'm amazed at how many DUers have been accosted by wild gunmen and shrug off calling the cops. I wonder why that is.

[Historic NY]

98. I got a bunch of Hillary stickers from donating...

I'm going to take a walk some night and stick then on the back of "stop signs" and street sign poles near busy intersections, with long traffic lights.

[left-of-center2012]

99. "throw a brick through your window"

That's why I didn't put a Hillary sign in my window. I thought someone might throw a rock through it. Sad

[roamer65]

100. The level of enthusiasm for this election is pretty low.

I've lost count how many have told me they are voting for one, because they hate the other.

Pretty sad and not conducive to putting signs on your lawn, or stickers on your car.

[mike507]

101. I do not think bumper stickers and yard signs are a priority for the Hillary.

They are hard to come by. I made two trips to my local Democratic office looking yard signs. Gave up and ordered them a week ago online from the campaign, making a significant contribution to UPS. I'm still waiting. The only HIllary sign I've seen in my neighborhood is from the primary.

[MADem]

106. Go to her website, find her nearest campaign office, and go there.

Your senator or local rep will not have them.

There are lots of bumper stickers and signs at HER campaign offices, and they are free.

[DesertRat]

137. Research shows that yard signs make very little difference

What does make a difference are the GOTV efforts, actually talking with voters through phone banking and neighborhood canvassing.

[hfojvt]

102. by city ordinance it is not allowed yet

I hope the world is not that dangerous

[callous taoboy]

107. My friend's Hillary sign was replaced by a decapitated rabbit.

No, I'm not joking. The head of the rabbit was lying next to the ripped up sign. The work of a deplorable, no doubt.

[calendargirl]

110. Update?

You were going to post pics, no?

[callous taoboy]

113. Done, 1 minute ago.

[Marr]

112. I think it's because she isn't a very exciting candidate.

Let's be honest. I'll vote for her, but she isn't the sort of candidate that gets people energized.

[lonestarnot]

122. And I think she is very exciting, fun, brilliant, experienced and will be our next President.

[Ligyron]

116. All this- plus yard signs don't work.

who changes or makes up their minds because of a yard sign anyway?

[dflprincess]

123. They work in local elections

and to some extent in statewide races (for state offices). People on the fence may pay attention to who their neighbor is supporting and vote - sometimes bases more on what they think of their neighbor.

To be honest, there was a real nut case that lived across from my mother's apartment building and, if I hadn't already known who I wanted to vote for in a local race, I would have referred to his yard signs to know who not to vote for.

I wouldn't really expect them to have much influence in a presidential race.

[JoePhilly]

121. My Hillary yard sign will go up about 1 week before the election.

Any sooner than that, and I fear that I risk the safety of my family.

[BigDemVoter]

125. I live in San Francisco

and I see HRC signs all over, but as she's a shoo in here, many people don't find it necessary.

[retrowire]

127. My Bernie swag got...

my yard sign was stolen, my family was flipped the bird while riding in my car and my wife was screamed at.

Dems of all types, beware.

[RKP5637]

128. A lot of Trump supports don't play with a full deck. I don't put one on my car, I'm

pretty sure an incident might occur.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

130. I never have any political signs or bumper stickers for that reason.

I'm part of the TRUE silent majority in this country who will vote for Hillary.

[ladym55]

131. It's safety

I don't want to have my front yard turfed or vandalized. I don't want to deal with road rage from some toothless wonder with an old truck and a gun. (No, I'm not stereotyping. I check out the vehicles and drivers I see with Trump stickers.)

I live in Ohio--you know, the place that where the Daily Show interviewed all the bright (?) Trump supporters and home of the (former) Trump campaign chair whose brilliant interview in the Guardian has been ALL over Twitter today. Trump supporters are angry, uneducated, and afraid of change. Trump has brought the ugly boiling to the surface.

[tanyev]

133. Yep. I live in a very red area.

I've never put bumper stickers on my car, for just that reason, but in past elections I have worn Dem t-shirts or buttons, curious to see if any RWers were brave enough to say anything to my face. All I ever got were positive comments. This election,though, feels different. I have a Hill Yes shirt that I really like, but I haven't worked up the nerve to wear it out in public yet.

[JDC]

134. I see quite a few on the NH seacoast

But I told my wife I didn't want to put one up for just this reason.

[napi21]

135. That's RIGHT! That's why I wouldn't put one in my yard, or on my car.

I take very good care of my car and so far it doesn't have a scratch or dent anywhere, and I want to keep it that way/ I've seen way too many vindictive acts take place around here to take the risk. I even refuse to talk about politics with any of my neighbors. I did it once. She's ae Trumpster and I said something like "If he gets elected, we're all in bit trouble." She abrubtly spun around and marched into her house and hasn't spoken to me since, and that was about 3 months ago.

[bongo_x]

138. Not always what you think...

I have bumper stickers and wear a tshirt every time I work out. I've never seen a Trump sticker here, a few yard signs (Atlanta suburbs). The only comments I get are positive. The other day a big older white guy with a big beard in a big truck was staring at me as I came out of a store. He yells "Hey!" at me and I'm thinking "oh boy". Then he says "I like your shirt" and gives me the thumbs up.

[47of74]

139. There's only one being worthy to grace my car.

[MFM008]

140. ive seen no maggot stickers

To be honest ive seen 4 maggot signs.
Mostly in more out there areas where people keep chickens.... oh and I did see one maggot sign in a junkyard.

[Nitram]

143. Exactly. I feeel like a total coward, but I haven't put a bumper sticker on my car.

[japple]

144. New Trump signs appearing in my neck of the woods. Red state, dark red

county. Here in Chickencatcher Hollow (thanks to Koch Foods), which used to be beautiful piney woods, I would be courting danger to put up a HRC sign.

[cntrygrl]

145. I'm 66 yrs old and disabled - easy target which prevents me

for doing much. I marched with the blacks (Newark riot days in NJ) when I was a teenager and was part of Stonewall but I now live in very republican FL. I'm, for once in my life, afraid to put up lawn signs or window stickers in favor of Hillary. No telling what might happen. I use social media instead.

[Amimnoch]

146. I will not be silenced, and I will not succumb to intimidation!

I'm in east Texas. My yard sign (3rd one now) is out front, and being videod on my ADT cam. My car has 2 bumper stickers, and no matter how many assholes insult me or slam the door in my face I will continue to canvas.

Fuck the Trumpsters.

[postatomic]

147. Stocked up just in case.

Live in a Purple District. We are very close to getting rid of our Republican Congress Critter.

If someone steals or destroys one of my yard signs I'll just put another.... and another. After that I may have to booby trap the third sign. Also ordering a few Trump - Putin 'Make Russia Great Again' signs.

I'm not going to live in fear of a few knuckle dragging - one brain cell morons.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

148. Spot on!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

150. It also could be that there's a lack of enthusiasm for her campaign

I suspect a large number of people are voting against the orange-haired, chiclet-grinning shit-gibbon Trump, rather than for Hillary.

[NightWatcher]

151. But doing so VERY enthusiastically!!!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

153. Doing what enthusiastically?

Fighting against Trump? Can I call that unenthusiastic enthusiasm?

[NightWatcher]

154. Enthusiasm by proxy???

It's real damn important to prevent Don from becoming King, so therefore there's enthusiasm for his opponent, who happens to be Hillary.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

155. Other than on DU and some pockets of the internet

I don't see any enthusiasm for voting against Trump and for Hillary. It's more along the lines of "meh, don't care much for Hillary, but that fucking Trump guy is nuts". I wouldn't call that enthusiasm. Or least not a healthy enthusiasm.

[wncHillsupport]

152. The problem with car stickers

is the high risk of getting your car keyed. It happened to friends in '08 who had Hillary stickers on.

I think there are more 'quiet' Hillary voters than quiet Donald voters.

I do enter data at HRC hq for my part. Headed there this coming Tuesday night. And, there are young people who come in to do phone calls. All ages represented. Young, middle, older (with me in latter category!).
