OK--I admit I got the magnet because it goes on and off easily

I'm doing a lot of doorknocking for local campaigns in a heavily Democratic area. Some of the people that I hope will support my candidates support Sanders, and other support Clinton. That's when the magnet comes off. When I finish my shift, it goes back on.

Especially one that will be meaningless and obsolete in a year.

I only want mine off when I am canvassing for local candidates whose potential supporters might be for either Sanders or Clinton next year.

I asked my husband "What do you think they're beeping for?" When the car passed, I saw it wasn't a problem they were beeping at. I think they were beeping in support of our "Feel the Bern" magnet. Their car had a couple of Bernie stickers. Don't know if they heard us, but we beeped back! I was wondering at the time if it was someone from DU...

Truthfully though, I've seen very few Bernie stickers. It's DE, so maybe the Bernie crowd is waiting to see what Biden is doing, or who's going to win the primary. I've already seen my fill of Trump and Carson stickers. Blech!

the demise of the middle class has to do with the lack of face to face communication andoltical awareness . I miss bumper stickers and when people spoke to each other .

and 2 magnetic ones on the back...I've got several magnetic ones now and swap them out, just to change the message.

I WANT Bernie and his message out there.

People need to get a backbone and stop being scared of PukeBaggers and now Hillbots...THIS really is going
to be our last chance to change things.

My candidates' supporters are divided on who to support nationally next year, and I can't see that turning any of them off of my local candidates is a good thing.
