Signs of the time?

Where are the lawn signs and bumper stickers for the presidential candidates? I can count on one hand the number I have seen this season. There were plenty of Sanders signs back in the primary months, but the only sign I've seen in my neighborhood recently is that awful design of the H with an arrow, and a couple of Trump bumper stickers. I have never seen such a lack of enthusiasm. Is anyone else seeing more energy for either of these candidates?

I have seen many Trump lawn signs andbumper stickers. Only one or two Hillary bumper stickers. I am sure in NY city it is the opposite.
Also seen a lot of Lee Zeldin lawn signs (Long Island first congressional district incumbent/candidate). He's way ahead of the dem challenger. I am torn about voting for him. He's been "good" but he supports trump. I don't hold that against him too much :loon , but i am thinking of voting "throw them all out".
This election is making my brain hurt.
:beat

Shows what you know, that H won advertising awards as best political logo because of the flexibility of the design (can tailor it in different designs , etc), and that it's simple and memorable. I rather like it.

I've seen some bumper stickers - I'm sporting two (both versions of the H)- but fewer yard signs unless you're in a battleground state (and you are not). Many more as I was traveling thru NH.

I'm focussing on local campaigns for my yard signs. That's what I saw in VT as well.

I drive by a few houses around here that have Trumpanzee signs in the yards, none with Hillary signs because hey, she's up by 26 points in our lovely liberal bastion, Massachusetts. Most of the yard signs around here are regarding local races.

I took my Bernie sticker off my vehicle, not getting another sticker. I gave some $ to Hillary to get a funny Dump Trump sticker, but apparently it's coming on a slow boat from China and I won't have it before November 8, I think. But that's okay, since Trump's followers are voting on November 28, anyway . . . :lol:

I'm going to splurge for one of Hillary's awesome tshirts because hey, it's herstory. :mrgreen:

I have seen dozens of signs. My wife has personally installed close to fifty.

Oddly the only trump sign (or any political sign) in my neighborhood was just taken down. Its especially surprising since he had it in his backyard (corner lot) and lit (rearranged landscape lighting).

No signs for either candidate around here and all the people I've talked to say they hate them both.

I live in Chester County PA. Here's the breakdown:

Republican: 147,576 (44.49%)
Democratic: 125,440 (37.81%)
Libertarian: 24,260 (13.9%)
Other Political parties and no affiliation: 34,533 (17.07%)

I did quite a lot of local driving today and I saw so many "down ballot" candidate signs -- thousands would be fairly accurate. Among them maybe four or five for Trump, and the same for Clinton. I feel the voters are embarrassed to display their party's primary candidates and are maintaining a low profile.

Oddly, within a square mile of Joe Biden's house there were more Trump signs than I could count.
