The only “Biden” sign I’ve seen in my own neighborhood is the house that has a toilet sitting on the lawn with a sign that says “Biden votes here” and an arrow pointing into the toilet, so.. yeah.
This thread has made me hopeful because where I live it is depressing. I generally think we are about 50-50 based on how different elections go, but my neighborhood is full of trump signs. And they are putting them IN THEIR GARDENS like they are effing delightful and attractive! The horror! I have never wanted to put up a sign so badly, but I’m on my way out of this house and STBX says we don’t need signs because “we aren’t in a cult”. Which he means no respect for Biden signs, but he hates that the trump supporters are so in your face. I personally *love the house I drive by on my way to work with half the windows missing, trash all over, falling down, and 2 huge Trump flags. Classy.

My Biden/Harris sign is ordered and arriving this week but I am frustrated our HOA is saying no political signs at all. I have a bit of trauma every time I see a Trump sign and I've seen a few in our red state/red area but not as many as I expected. Friends of mine have had their Biden and Black Lives Matters signs stolen

I’m in a red (turning purple) area of a blue state. No Trump signs in the neighborhood and a handful of Biden/Harris, including us. Around 65% of our subdivision is original owners (boomers) and they are all supporting the crazy candidate running for our US representative seat, which is currently held by a democrat. The candidate they are supporting is awful. She says the most insane things and cares not at all about women’s rights, LGBTQ+, etc. We have the sign in our yard for the Democrat that holds the seat. All of our surrounding neighbors have the crazy lady.
The younger people in the neighborhood have the Democrat’s signs out. All the Boomers are for the Republican.

I don’t have any lawn sign but the hate has no home here (and have had to replace it numerous times on account of theft) but I’ve got a Biden Harris mask. Sign of the times and all.
Let me tell you about my neighbor. She has 12 Trump signs and a flag. 6 of the signs are 4 feet tall. Highlights include:
DNC message: everything is lost All lives matter Four more years: the best is yet to come Trump 2020: no more bullshit
She’s also a distributor for Trump paraphernalia so she has people in her driveway picking up their shit at all hours of the day. They back out of her driveway, which is completely impractical on my street and so they stop traffic. I despise this woman. OH AND she has two very precious dogs that she lets wander - no fence, no leash. Just lets them roam on a busy fucking street.
I drive by a house like this everyday, older lady at a table full of crap. My kids always boo as we drive by.

I have seen 0 Biden/Harris signs. My county went Dem in 2016 but is traditionally Rep. Some Trump signs around, but most political signs I've seen are for local office or state house. It's a big year for county elections. I have a sign for my local state house representative incumbent in my yard. That's the only one I'll put out.

Uhhh do we live in the same place? Because, yeah, it’s an older woman who sits at a table all day long.

I haven’t seen any campaign signs for Biden or Trump in my neighborhood, but one of my neighbors has an “Anybody but Trump 2020” sign that I found amusing.

I kind of hope so because that house is awful. I don’t like to think that more than one exists. Are you in a suburb, south of a small city? Street name starts with a p?
Well someone stole my Biden/Harris sign the night I put it up.
Then someone stole my Black Lives Matter sign.
I ordered new ones so they'll be put up as soon as they arrive, but tbh, if they keep getting stolen I'm not going to buy more. It's too expensive. I'll place them inside.
Put a small postit on the sign that says “smile! You’re on camera!” And it should help.

There is a house in my town with a 45 sign and next to it is a “hate has no home here” sign. Makes me shake my head every time I see it, which is like 4x/day.

I haven't been anywhere to see any signs, but this morning we went tp Trader Joe's, and the Trumpers across the street have a sign in their yard, but not for Trump. It's for someone running for state senate. Another neighbor has a sign for someone running for sheriff, and another has signs for candidates for judge and school board. No Trump or Biden signs, although we passed a bar (a real dump) that had a big Trump Pence maga thing going on.
I asked DH to avoid the crazy Trump guy's house on the corner of the next block, because it raises my blood pressure to see all of the ridiculousness going on in his front yard. Every new thought means adding another sign. Before Trump it was anti Obama/Obamacare, and on Halloween they were giving out something related top MLMs, so there are many reasons to avoid that house.
But there are Black Lives Matter signs everywhere. 🙌
This.
And a lot of those "in this house we believe......" signs.
There weren't any Trump signs last time and I don't expect them this time - although there were Trump voters
i want one of these! I’ve never had a yard sign before. Where do I get it from?
S/o question: my neighbor put up a thin blue line sign. Does that mean they are Trumpers? They are an old white couple and some of the things they’ve said before lean that way, but I was hoping not until I saw the sign. I was so disappointed.

I live in a blue bubble and I know I'm an asshole for even saying it, but I am honestly shivering at the thought of living in a place with Trump signs everywhere.
I can't even listen to his voice so I sincerely thank all of you for fighting the good fight.

I'm in a red area for sure, in PA. We have 5 houses in a row on my street with Biden signs. I'm so proud of it. My neighbor led the charge in getting all of them and of course asked our permission to put them up. I've had people drive by and compliment them or ask where we got them, which is cool because I'm usually bracing for someone to say something negative.
That said, there are also tons of Trump signs everywhere. An acquaintance who lives in another county a couple hours away in western PA was visiting a "Trump House" and plastered pictures all over his Facebook last weekend. The entire thing is Trump themed. It was gross, you can google it if you want to see the horror.
I don't do signs but my neighborhood has a lot of Biden signs. I wouldn't say it's necessarily indicative of anything because it's a liberal area. Nearer my parents it's more conservative and there are no Biden signs, a few GIANT Trump signs.
I'm in an area that used to be very Republican (Speaker Dennis Hastert came from our district), but we elected a Dem for congress in the last election (Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, who is awesome). I am definitely seeing more Biden signs than Trump signs by a good amount. However, I am seeing a lot more of signs for local office (congress, state house and senate, county offices). Bonus: most of these signs are for Dems and most are women running (us congress, state senate, state house, county board for me are all women on the Dems side)
And there is a local who every election puts a sign in his yard for "*his name* for emperor". I do find that funny.

I’m in a very red county, so a lot of Trump signs. I’m also on our Democratic Central Committee, and we’ve distributed close to 300 Biden and Biden/Harris signs. They’re flying out the door.
I saw two Republicans for Biden signs on the way to my parents the other day. I find that comforting. In my immediate area I've seen more Biden signs but there are definitely a decent number for Trump too.
In other news a local bakery is selling Biden and Trump cookies, and tallying many they sell of each. Apparently they do this every presidential election and the winner of the cookie sale has always won the election. Trump is currently way ahead.

I have seen a fair amount of BIDEN signs and more for Black Lives Matter. I heard through a friend a bunch of Biden signs were being stolen out of yards in a swing state neighborhood. I think a lot of people ordered after Harris was announced and are waiting for them.

We have a sign that says “dump the turd Nov 3” with a poop emoji Trump. Some neighbors break their necks when they drive by. Next door, they have a “anyone but Trump” and a “I believe in” sign. There’s 2 Trump flags on my street. Nothing specifically about Biden.
