I tried to find a Biden yard sign today. I couldn't find anything on the

Joe Biden site about where there was a local campaign headquarters. I do a search and find a Facebook page for
the local Democratic Party campaign headquarters. It shows a building on Main Street in a nearby town with no building number.
After at least 6 trips through town I see a building that looks like the one in the photo. The windows are bare no posters or anything.
I knock on the door and a women finally comes to the door she says that was the headquarters from 2016.
Someone told me the only place they knew of was in the next county 30 miles away. No wonder there are Trump flags and signs
everywhere you can't even get a Biden sign unless you spend a whole day and a tank of gas hunting for one.

I feel as though the Dems have written Ohio off.

Very little effort put forth here. Yet I keep seeing polls showing we are competitive.

I’ve already gotten 3 obnoxious lie-filled mailers from the GOP, none from our side.

$14.99, 75¢ tax, free shipping, will be here by 9/15

I'm on a busy corner & won't pay over $20 for a sign that may get ripped off. Most of the signs I found online were closer to $30.

Our county party disbursed several hundred Biden signs at voter registration sites in the last few weeks but there is a demand for more. I ordered signs 3 weeks ago directly from the Biden campaign and received an email yesterday that the signs had not been shipped. Not holding my breathe that I'll get them before the election.

All that said, have you called your state party HQ and asked how to reach your county party and how you can get yard signs?

Ah well, I live in a very red town anyway, though they have already figured out that I'm a liberal and thus, give me the stink-eye at the grocery store anyway.

One guy about 4 blocks from my house has a tattered trump flag on a two story pole next to his home and he put a "Biden Works for Iowa" sign (used during the precinct caucuses) in his yard after he changed it to "Biden Works for Biden". It was gone after 2 days.

Would love it if his neighbors put a "Trump Works for Putin" sign in their yards.

county but apparently Steubenville is the only one around. I will contact them and see of they have any before I make a
trip. Looks like they aren't wasting any effort to win Ohio. No Democrat since Jimmy Carter has won without Ohio I still think
that could still be the case.

The pandemic is a reason why there's not alot of on the ground campaigning, signs etc - but we need to do better.

This ticket is clearly more popular (than 2016) and the Dem base is more united, and we need to have a better show of support out there, despite the pandemic.
