How many yardsigns and bumperstickers are you all seeing where you live?

[angus]

voted roughly equal.  I have seen none in my neighborhood, so it's exactly equal.

This is a very conservative, white-collar neighborhood.  I gather that yard signs are generally frowned upon.  At least I've never seen more than a few, and mostly for local races--probably a personal friend or family member running for office.  I'd be astonished to see any for either Clinton or Trump, given how controversial those two are.  I'll keep a lookout, though, and post here if I see any.

I saw a sign today.  It was about 2 miles away, so not in my neighborhood, but prominently placed at a house on a busy intersection.  It said TRUMP in white on a blue field, and some other stuff in smaller font below that, but I didn't have my glasses on so I'm not sure what the other stuff said.

So, is it still "roughly equal" since I've seen one Trump sign and no Clinton signs, and the difference is therefore one?  Or are we going with ratios?  In that case, the ratio of Trump to Clinton signs is infinity, or the ratio of Clinton to Trump signs is zero.  That'd be significant.

Still none in my neighborhood, other than the usual ones.  "Lawn treated today.  Keep children and dogs off lawn for 24 hours" and "This house protected by ADT Alarm Systems" and the like.

Tough year for white-collar Republicans, I'd imagine.  Some of them may be planning on voting for Trump, but few are willing to admit it, and fewer still willing to advertise their support.

Okay, papi, I did see another sign today.  Well, it wasn't a proper yardsign, and it wasn't in a yard but rather in the little grassy berm between the sidewalk and the street, but it contain some political message.  It was one of those cautionary signs warning of pedestrians, but it had been vandalized apparently by a Clinton antagonist, and then re-made by a Trump antagonist.  It looked something like this*:

I don't normally approve of vandalism in my neighborhood, and I don't approve of either party's graffito on this sign, but the sign did make me think of this thread.  It also reminded me that this year, much like in 2000 but unlike 2008, no one is really voting for a candidate, but rather against one.

It seems as though the most oft-mentioned name is neither of the two major candidates.

Bernie

plenty of Bernie

It's all Bernie stuff

There are still a lot of Bernie signs here

Bernie

I see a ton of Bernie stickers, and one Gary Johnson sign, but that's all.

Bernie.

Lots of Bernie stuff, even in Spokane.

lot of Bernie stickers

I see cars with Bernie bumper stickers

and that's just page 1 of this thread...

Where I work I saw more Bernie stickers and Bernie signs than anything else as well, even well after the primary they remained, but I haven't been to Millersville in a few weeks.  I'll probably go to my office a few days next week to work on a manuscript, since it's difficult to focus at home.  The building will be empty and the streets will resemble a ghost town for a couple more weeks, but I'll try to remember to look around to see if the signs and stickers suggest that people are still feeling the Bern.

I witnessed some serious signage today!  I still don't see any yardsigns within a mile or so of my crib, but I got out into the country a little today.  My son's TKD grand master has them meeting saturdays for the next 8 weeks at a location in the styx, about 35 minutes from here in another county--It's for black belt training.  I knew this day was coming and dread the weekly drive.  I think he must live over there somewhere because it's not a town you'd stumble upon cruising about.  He's actually an interesting guy.  While they were practicing back kicks, he and I had a fairly lengthy discussion about the second amendment.  "Hey man, when you see black people shooting at cops, they're just exercising their 2nd-amendment rights.  The cops represent a government gone awry, which is exactly what the Founders were talking about when they said that the right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed.  Maybe they're misinterpreting, or maybe a judge would interpret differently, but they're just exercising their second-amendment rights in exactly the way the Founders intended..."  That sort of thing.  I was taken aback at his thoughtfulness, although I'm not sure I totally agree.

Anyway, as I passed through one particular township of about 3500 people on a small state highway in a county just west of the one in which I live, I came upon block after block of campaign yardsigns.  They all had only one word:  TRUMP.  The whole town was maybe nine by four blocks of old but sturdy housing stock, surrounded by pastureland, and we decided to tour it on the way home.  Neatly-manicured lawns and crumbling sidewalks, many adjacent to campaign yardsigns.   I started counting them but I lost count after eleven.  Apparently that particular township is not "shy Trump" country.  I don't think I've ever seen such a high density of political signs, and they were all for one candidate.
