Report from New Jersey

I live in Essex County, about 15 miles from Manhattan.

Bumper stickers --- only a few for Bernie. We tend not to want to mess up our cars.

Finally saw one for Hillary last week.

Lawn signs ---- innumerable ones for Bernie.

Yet to see one for Hillary.

I have a Bernie magnet. I don't see a whole lot of political anything in my area but I have gotten quite a few honks for my magnet and a few people yelling out the window in support. I am afraid our state will go for Hillary though :/

endorsed Clinton.
Being a Sanders supporter, I feel alienated by my party.
I think that after the Primary I may become "unaffiliated.'

And I have a Bernie sticker on my car, but have seen very few stickers or signs for ANY candidate at all. Weird.

He did threaten a lockout if there was a strike.

So lets figure... a lockout.... then who'se gonna run the trains and busses. You need to be federally certified and/or licensed in order to operate those vehicles.

I haven't seen anything.
Are there magnetic bumper stickers?
I know about messing up a car.
We don't typically put up lawn signs in our town.
