Just don't post political signs:
- If someone agrees with your sign, you gain nothing. Nobody ever changed their vote because of a bumper sticker.
- If someone disagrees, you've marginalized yourself and potentially made yourself a target, or at least painted yourself in a bad light.
- petercooper 1y agoI'm not a fan of political signs, but I do think they play a role with unaligned voters. If someone sees frequent signs for a candidate/party they're considering but were unsure about (e.g. a new or controversial candidate/party that might be considered unlikely to win), they might feel validated in that choice through social proof.
