near the Dallas Cowboys stadium this morning and I was pleasantly surprised by all the Biden/Harris yard signs ,many more than trump signs.

MANY Biden signs on the street. I'm shocked actually.
On the side streets though, I see many Perdue signs (yuck).
I was in the Publix at The Peach yesterday and I SWEAR Kelly Loeffler was in there shopping for herself. It was her...and she was wearing a mask. Only in Buckhead, a billionaire and homeless person shopping the same store.

A cpl of trump signs but Biden signs on both sides of them.

(13,062 posts)ATT stadium (football) were built - it was for the most part crappy. The ballparks certainly have elevated Central Arlington into a better place. I would have thought it was more conservative like before but great to hear it's more left leaning now.

A quicker response on COVID would have made the workforce a lot more secure against infection.

(5,854 posts)Even though I live in blue Maryland, in blue Montgomery County, I hadn't seen many Biden signs around. I think the $25 price is more than some people can afford. Especially when there is a chance that some trumpista will destroy it.
But in this rather affluent neighborhood, where I'd thought many residents were republicans, it was a nice surprise to see so many Biden/Harris signs.

(13,062 posts)for sunshine and cost of living. Housing there is ridiculous. I love it that CA overall is very liberal but it depends on the area. Central CA near Bakersfield is more conservative.
The same applies to TX - the 5 biggest metro areas are all liberal: Houston, DFW (which Arlington is a part of), San Antonio, Austin, El Paso. If you live in these metro areas there are lots of libs. Austin area is unabashedly liberal. We live here & we love it. We have lovely weather except the hot months of July & August (a price i'm willing to pay for low cost of living), the great economy, great job market for just about every field, beautiful Hill Country, access to great healthcare, great music & arts scene, and overall a great way of life are all the reasons we chose to transition to retirement here.
Sure we need to put up with the GOP-controlled legislature but looks as if Dems efforts to take back the TX House will happen. We're fighting like hell to get Dems elected, & as you know every good thing is worth fighting for. It's the constant political struggle but that's the case wherever you live.
