No matter your political preference I think there's one thing we can all agree on. Can we all agree that the god damn yard signs are a blight? There's no need to have a dozen signs for the same candidate in a place where it's clearly not owned by the person who put it there. Can we just not for the next election? Like none at all.
I'm sick of Trump 2020 signs and FJB signs
Man there's a Bernie sign near me still up, and I can't believe they still don't understand he lost...
There is a car I pass once in a while that still has a Hillary/Kaine sticker from 2016 on it's bumper.
Car bumper stickers are like a time capsule
And hella cringe. If I put a sticker in my car, I tape it to the inside of the back window so I can remove it later without potentially damaging my paint.
Put them on a sheet of magnet. But I don't do stickers anymore. No sense in giving a crazy a reason to mess with you
I'll have to keep that in mind. My back window is factory tinted so what stickers I do have taped there are pretty much invisible until you get right up on my window.
LOL! I love this comment. You would cringe at the amount of stickers I have plastered on my car. đ¤Ł
I probably would. Stickers irritate the hell out of me most of the time, unless it is something really strange. Like the sticker someone made for the Toyota Highlanders that has one stick figure with a sword and a couple headless stick figures to the side.
What makes be cringe the most is political stickers, gun stickers and military vet stickers (especially Navy Chiefs who plaster their cars in goat locker stuff).
I got my Navy vet license plate and a Doom Ducky sticker on the inside of my window at the moment, and that is it.
I have different car related stickers, places I have traveled and the like. Gives my Toyota Camry Wagon a little more character.
That seems valid. I could get behind that. I wear a vest with a flag patch from every country I've been to, either for work or vacation (far more work than vacation, sadly).
I love them. They're like a small glimpse into someones life; someone who i'm never going to get to know past those stickers.
You want a real throwback there's still a few stoplights in my hometown that have Bush/Cheney stickers on them lol
Wow - that is really bad.
Ironic af, sorry you got downvoted, this is a liberal only site apparantly lol
"Trump lost, pack up the signs â ď¸"
"Bernie lost, pack up the signs đŤ"
I guess no one realized it was a jab towards all the people still with Trump 2020 signs up.
You mean every 5 vehicles being a political sign lol
That too đ
Yes, they were especially annoying this year it seems. I'm all for people putting signs out on their private property but I really hate seeing them littered all over the place on public property.
Get ready to see the Mastriano signs fading in the sun for the next several years, next to the nearly-gray Trump signs.
Side note, who else still sees the trump signs with Mike Pence's name cut out or covered in duct tape?
My neighbor has one with Penceâs name taped over and JFK Jr. written instead đđ
Ahhh a man of pure Q-intelligence I see. Must be a fun neighbour đ
When I see his hover-round leave his yard I usually try to bolt as fast as I can so I donât have to play nice đ
Somehow⌠you didnât have to mention the hover round, for me to already picture this man rolling around. đ¤ˇđźââď¸đ
Holy shit same. He originally just taped Penceâs name out before taking it down and putting it up later with JFK Jr. written over top.
Back in 2020, he was in some local Republican committee and since my Parents were still registered Republican he badgered us to take a sign. When the sign was left next to our garage and never put up we caught him on our door cam taking the sign and putting it up in our yard without our permission. My parents ended up throwing out the sign.
Itâs just sad how Q has twisted these peopleâs brains.
Agreed! The funny thing is he doesnât work, lives alone, and depends on disabilityâŚ..but is infatuated with Trump. His brother lives next door and is sane, but thereâs a third brother after that who is just as insane.
I live on an interesting street lol
It's frustrating that you can talk to conservative voters about progressive policies that they will constantly benefit from and they agree with them, but then vote against their own interests constantly.
There's a guy near me who's had 2 trump flags on his porch since 2020 and they're barely legible anymore because they're so faded.
Well they are reverting into what they should be, a white flag.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fucking love the signs with penceâs name crossed out. Itâs a great way to tell the difference between more traditional republicans who like/liked Trump and the true MAGA nuts.
all those were replaced with mastriano signs around me
It's so annoying. And they're almost all plastic, so you'll have some end up in rivers and lakes. And not to mention they're god damn annoying to see everywhere...
I don't even care what candidate. Stop plastering signs on every intersection please...
same with tv ads. freaking cancer.
no yardsigns, no tv ads then o.k. you can mailbomb my PO box. i can throw the literature in the recycle bin on the way out....
Seriously, I'm trying to watch YouTube, fuck off with that shit
I can do without all the text messages and phones calls too.
youtube has ads?
ive used NoScript, AdBlock+ and Ghostery browser extentions for at least a decade and dont ever see them.
I use a fire stick to watch it mostly. Network Chuck just did a video about setting up a thing on your network to get rid of ads, I need to do that.
I don't put political signs on my lawn, but I kind of like knowing which of my neighbors is a Nazi...
Same, I'm also in Montco
Lol so Delco here. Saw a guy taking down this morning. No worries, just said good morning.
He sees my hoodie with my catholic school on it. He comments he went to one as well. Cool. Then he makes a comment about his class being the "last white bastion" I fucking booked away lol
thirded, also in Montco. Not happy they are here, but glad to know where they are.
I'm ok with private residential property allowing signs
And the Trump 2020 and Trump/JFK Jr 2024 60 x 60 flags the geniuses fly on their trucks.
Reality is calling, pick up.
I wish it were just signs during election years.. Republicans LOVE their corny ass merch. Flags, stickers, shirts, hats⌠all tacky as hell.
Oh, you mean the Trump flags with obscenities written on them that literally line a sidewalk that kids use to get to a local Elementary School in my neighborhood? Classless garbage.
And mass produced in China but somehow that fact is overlooked
Personally, I'd love to see campaigning legally prohibited until the 4 weeks before the election.
Oh in a perfect world
I'd love this. I think it's France has a similar policy.
On a similar note, I feel so bad for the people of Georgia with the fact it's heading to a run off and needing four more weeks of that shit but ramped up to an eleven.
It should be a rule that the losing campaign has to take down their signs and the signs of their opponent.
I might leave my Shapiro and Fetterman signs up for a while because there is a guy in my neighborhood who ranted to my MIL about how we are shitty liberals.
Oh yeah that warrants a little gloating. Im doing the same because some bottom-feeder down the street has 16 signs in his yard and a Mastriano sign on the side of his truck đđ
Not only this, but the damn robocalls. I'm getting tired of blocking one number just to have them spoof a dozen more and spam call me.
The signs tell me who to avoid and distrust. Any Mastriano sign told me that person thinks the US should go back to the 1800s. Fuck them.
I know! There are children on my street and they see a f*** Biden sign and idc about your preference but that needs to go
They were stacking them side by side into ribbons at the end. Good fucking lord. These need to be illegal.
Any business with a mastriano sign/billboard is a "do not shop here" business now.
Srsly. Local restaurant would have gotten my business (several times over) if they didn't put a Mastriano sign in the window.
Donât care about the signs so much as the constant fucking texts. I keep replying stop, but nothing seems to work.
By replying you're just confirming it's a working number
Its because youâre getting texts from different organizations.
There are probably hundreds of organizations trying to get out voters all getting access to the voting demos.
Not to mention the massive amount of waste generated every election cycle
Neighbor took his political signs down first thing this morning. Makes me think more highly of him.
I actually really like campaign signs. It let's me know which of my neighbors want my trans boyfriend dead.
Just remember if theyâre put in a state road you can have them removed by PennDOT.
If you want to have them on your property, have at it. You're free to do so, and I am free to think you are a blithering idiot.
Yessir
I hate having a HOA but the one good thing is thereâs no political signs allowed in our neighborhood.
That's literally the first good thing I've seen that comes from an HOA.
I have to admit it's pretty sweet turning the tv on and there are NO POLITICAL ADS!!!! Yipppeeee.......
Like the Fetterman signs I saw destroyed and strewn across the road in berks county. Entirely unnecessary to destroy someone elseâs shit, then to throw plastic into the wind on top of it is mind numbing
Can we also agree that it is not necessary for everybody to post their own individual thread about the election results?
At least that should be over in a day or two, these damn signs will be out for weeks.
Would be nice, but I can't see it happening. Also I'd love to get rid of the paper candidate handouts at the polling places. Hasn't almost everyone voting at that point made up their mind already? Doesn't giving them a card with all of a political party's candidates, or just for one politician, seem to be redundant? And it would be nice if, alternatively, a paper recycle bin is available. I worked at a polling place yesterday and was constantly picking up cards that people dropped, or watched them drop them into the trash bin on their way out.
Honestly they're good for when you're house shopping or looking for a place to rent. It gives you an idea of the kind of s*** bag neighbors you might end up living next to
All the plastic is bad for the environment too. I wish they would do anything else.
No I'm keeping my Fetterman sign up for the next six years. I'm also going to get 1231291 of them and build my entire personality around them.
They're litter. Like actually. People put them out, then NEVER come take them down.
Now, if you put it on your property, fine, you put it there, you can take it down.
But along the highway, at every intersection, the middle of fucking nowhere.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TRASH THERE.
I live on a corner. Some asshole kept putting Oz and Mastriano signs on my lawn. Do people not realize that lots of people have doorbell cameras?
So, anyway, I'll be returning them to my neighbor a few doors down today with HAHA written on them.
Beautiful
My boroughs changed the codes after the last presidential election. Now your only allowed two yard signs and only for a certain period before and immediately after the election (I canât recall the exact time frame but itâs like 30 or 60 days). They hand out a daily $1000 fines for every sign over two that are up. Peopleâs heads exploded at first but then they slowly started removing signs. Itâs actually been really nice this cycle. I did notice the trump crowd trying to get around the yard sign rule by plastering the side of their hoses with huge signs but the new codes donât address that just yet.
What town do you live in, I wanna move there
Camp Hill
That, and the bullshit in my mailbox needs to go to. I can't imagine that either of these things swayed a single voter.
I donât put signs up in my yard so I can keep peace with my neighbors. We all get along. We all vote different ways. I put a sign up for who I like and Iâll be judged. Sad that it has gotten to this point.
Assuming you voted Dem, why would you want to get along with neighbors who would vote for Mastriano? Different politics means different ways of dealing with inflation, social welfare programs, etc.
Anti-Semitism, White Nationalism, Homophobia etc. is not a difference of political opinion.
Because we all get along outside of politics? That actually happens. Theyâre not bad people just because they have different viewpoints. People have the freedom to do so.
Edit: I honestly couldnât imagine getting so upset that somebody I know voted one way and I end up saying, âyou know what? Fuck that person. Not gonna talk to them anymoreâ. Seems a bit extreme.
I actually vote a completely different way than most of my family. We all still get along. Crazy concept to put politics aside and for people to get along with one another, I know.
Mastriano's positions aren't politics. It's hate speech. It's anti-democracy.
I don't understand getting along with someone who would vote for someone like Mastriano. Even if they don't agree with his bigotry, they endorse it by voting for him. I couldn't get along with someone who was ok with that. Same reason I cut out acquaintances who voted for Trump.

It would be great. Looking forward to this sub going back to awesome PA pictures and history as well instead of the political BS.
I'm here for the DeSantis Trump Abbott sign cage match internecine warfare.
Desanctimonius did not land try again.
I want to get a bullhorn on my car and just play Nelson yelling "HA HA" every time I pass one of THOSE houses.
Yes! There have been signs on this corner i turn down all the time for Shapiro and Fetterman since July. I almost missed my turn this morning cuz they got rid of the signs immediately. Nevertheless i really appreciate them :)
I don't mind the signs even if they are obnoxiously placed but I'm all for the TV ads to stop.
Honestly letâs just do away with all of them. Private or public. I honestly donât care who your neighbor Jim is voting for. Itâs not influencing anyone to vote for that guy. Just silently vote, and then stfu and see what happens. Theyâre ugly, itâs a waste of resources and a huge eco burden.
Sadly they do help people decide. Undecided votes often go "oh I recognize that name from the signs" and vote for that person. It's sad.
Not that it would surprise me. But Iâd love to see modern studies done in this. Surely in a time of Tik-Tok, YouTube, Reddit, FB and anywhere else online targeted ads can be bought⌠the âanalog signâ crowd surely has to be dwindling, right? đ
I'd like to see the statistics to see how many people are actually swayed by signs, junk mail, robo calls, and endorsements.
Took mine down at 7 am Wednesday. Work from home, my first customer says "Where's your Fetterman sign? You should be celebrating."
I said "Elections over right? You take your signs down...my wife made me."
[deleted]
Post haste!
I agree they just look tacky and annoying
Though it's really funny when a spot has both sides signs on it.
I'm told the hard signs are good for wrapping bee hives, maybe the old man will part with his Mastriano and Oz signs
This reminds me of when I was in school. While as a child and teenager, as I did not fully understand politics, laws, social programs etc, I complained to others saying that there are too many of these election signs in yards, along roads, etc and that they need to go. I would always see these election signs to and from school while riding school bus and would tell the bus drivers how much I couldn't stand seeing these signs. I would always sit in front of school bus talking to bus drivers to and from school and election signs were one of my many conversations with bus driver whenever it was election time. Even now with a much better understanding of social programs, laws, politics, etc.. I still feel as I did in school about too many election signs littering things up.
How long will they take to take them down this year? The last cycle they left them up for almost a year.
Oh gawd yes. I really hate seeing these signs all over the place.
Please đ
People are under mind from the government media. Until they break free, they're not going to stop.
