I didn't mean to imply that Bernie's campaign is behind it. I'm sure it isn't. But the OP asked what we thought of the button, and I'm a fervent Bernie supporter who thinks the button would turn undecided voters away from Bernie.

Not sure what it has to do with first amendment rights. I think people have a right to wear them. But I think the consequence of wearing them is to turn people away from Bernie, or away from politics in general.
