My Weekend with Bernie

My car is covered in Bernie stickers, but I was the only one.
On Friday, I walked outside to see 2 of my neighbors cars had grown new attire--- Bernie stickers! Woohoo!
This weekend, I wore my Bernie shirt around town shopping and everywhere I went, I got compliments. From the lonely worker at a large office supply store who quietly pulled me aside to whisper, "love your shirt."
To the guy with the large family who, in between children's screams, said, "awesome shirt!"
This is in a republican neighborhood and I thought I was being brave to cover my body and car with Bernie's name.
Everyone is feelin the Bern! Yay!

I'm in a liberal town, and afraid to put a sticker on my car....I have some really ugly neighbors.

I bought multiple magnetic bumper stickers.

I can change them out and also remove them in our employee parking so they don't get stolen...but the Bernie one in blue stays on.

Of my magnetic ones, I really like "Get Bernified!"

But I put the bumper sticker on my car and wear my pin everywhere
I go. I was afraid someone would key my car. But hasn't happened. I've
had people confide in me that they are hugely interested. I copied some flyers
and handed them out. I've converted a couple of people or so they told me.
So you just never know!
