I'm in MA and recently realized that Kennedy is primary-ing Markey for our senate seat. Obviously I have to go read and watch some of their debates - but I shamefully don't know much about the differences between them or if they are substantial. Anyone have insights? They really don't have any policy disagreements of which I'm aware, but Kennedy thinks the safe Senate seat us an area to have more of a young, aggressive leader on progressive policy. Markey is progressive but isn't well known because he doesn't do things that get a lot of attention, KWIM? stringy I agree with dc here. Markey is a solid Democrat and a decent public servant. Personally, I don't think Kennedy would be getting any traction in this race if his last name weren't Kennedy. I don't live in MA anymore so i don't have any skin in this game. Not sure who I'd vote for if I lived there now.

I saw a yard sign that said BYEDON 2020 today. I laughed.

GDI. I have to have hope for WI though because we came out and voted in person during a pandemic and booted our conservative state supreme court justice.

I was at my parents' house last weekend and saw a trump sign in the garage. I feel so disenheartened, I had really thought they had moved away from supporting him - the fact that they have a yard sign proves that is not the case. I wanted to scream. Then I wondered if it usually is in the yard but my dad moved it knowing I would have driven right past their house had I seen it out there? Because I absolutely would have. ARGH. There are Trump signs every.fucking.where in my area. Seeing the very rare Biden sign is like a little breath of fresh air. But there is probably 1 Biden sign for every 50 Trump signs.
However, we are moving to another state in the next few months (after Biden is elected president, please please). We were there last week driving around and I saw so many Biden/Coons/BLM signs and it made me feel so happy to be moving somewhere with more of "my" people.

milano I recently learned that the campaign *aggressively* distributes free merch. They make sure there are signs and hats and tee shirts because they throw them out like candy. So maybe they were given one but didn't know what to do with it?

I was having a tough work day yesterday and this absolutely cheered me up. It’s a compilation of Senator Harris just being awesome. A thread of videos.

I haven't seen a Biden sign anywhere. That was our road trip game last week so I was definitely searching for them. The closest we found was a Yang bumper sticker and a sign for "Any Responsible Adult 2020" (in MN).

I hope you have a great day today jaygee 😸 Thank you. It can only get better from here. Lol. I love her so much too. I feel almost embarrassed of my fandom of Senator Harris because it’s intense but then I watch these clips and I just know she’s something special. I hope everyone gets a chance to see it some day.

We can put them up 60 days out so after Labor Day I'll put my Jaime Harrison sign out. During the primaries I saw an "Any Functioning Adult" sign that was pretty funny.

This reminds me I drove past a car with a Trump bumper sticker and they had the corners duct-taped down because it appeared it was not properly adhesive. High quality merch right there 😂

the usual republican stronghold small city to the west of me doesn't have any Trump signs up yet that I could see driving around bored today. And then I made a circle around my block to come home, and there's a large fucking Trump2020 flag flying below a large american flag on a house round the corner. My direct neighbor next door- that's his parents house. arg

Seems to be, yes. (At least according to Twitter. Certainly looks like the same woman.)
