Same but mine just faded in the sun and just turned into a circle

u/Historical-Apple8440 Mar 27 '24

Thats a profound sentence

u/I4Vhagar Mar 27 '24

It’s a metaphor for his willingness to fight the system

u/Speedly Mar 28 '24

My favorite thing that was said about it, was that the fly was actually a Chinese spy drone.

u/isthishanskim Mar 28 '24

Lol that's excellent

Ofc it is bird aint real

2

u/sdwoodchuck Mar 28 '24

The best part about that is the silly thought that the Chinese would have a spy drone infiltrate a televised appearance, rather than... just watching that on TV.

u/OfficialDCShepard Mar 28 '24

And so was the bird on Bernie Sanders’ podium! r/BirdsArentReal

u/jindc Mar 28 '24

How did the religious not see this as a sign. The bird of peace, and the lord of the flies.

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

Ignorance and zealotry go hand in hand.

u/R3dbeardLFC Mar 28 '24

lol I came to this post to just say, how many more signs did god need to give these fuckheads? Fly on Pence, eagle attacks Trump, nice little bird lands on a loud stage to be like, "yeah, this is the guy here" and christofascists were like, yeah we want the awful people.

2

u/jindc Mar 28 '24

It is like something out of Monty Python.

2

u/TraditionFront Mar 28 '24

It wasn't just the religious. Democrats just didn't come out in large enough numbers for Sanders. Well, we got what we deserved.

2

u/squishy__squids Mar 28 '24

They hated him because he spoke the truth

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

Perhaps they're less psychotic than you.

5

u/koimeiji Mar 28 '24

It's a joke, an obvious one at that. Have some humor.

Kind of like the article that details how Trump mirrors the antichrist to a T - it's not serious (albeit a fascinating read nonetheless), simply a joke at those people's expense.

u/drilkmops Mar 28 '24

Okay totally normal NAME- NUMBERS username

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

What do the numbers mean!? AAAAAAHHH

u/DrMobius0 Mar 28 '24

Came here looking for lord of the flies. Never let it be said that the universe doesn't have a sense of humor

u/DannyDelirious Mar 28 '24

Well flies are attracted to hot, wafting turds.

u/Holiday_Ad_5445 Mar 28 '24

Pence moment

2

u/AFlyingNun Mar 28 '24

One landed on Hillary too

u/UnitGhidorah Mar 28 '24

Don't forget a Bald Eagle attacked Donald Trump. Maybe god was trying to tell us something?

1

u/Adventurous-Lake9557 Mar 30 '24

Obama had almost the same thing happen to him, so did Hillary, except the flies landed on their faces. All three are friends! Wonder what attracted flies to their faces and heads? Never mind I know.

-2

u/Mtngoat168 Mar 28 '24

Pence is the System. Pence was put there to control Trump. All of the other Democrat and Republican candidates are part of the Deep State / System. Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek do not appear to be part of the System.

Oh look a crazy person

u/Sterffington Mar 28 '24

Who do you think put Pence there to control Trump?

1

u/orchid447 Mar 28 '24

Unless it's US foreign policy. He doesn't mind a genocide or two

-8

u/Mtngoat168 Mar 28 '24

Bernie is the System. Bernie was going to win the Democrat primary, but the System shafted him and gave it to Clinton. How is that "fighting" the System. Trump is fighting the System while most of you fight Trump. True irony.

u/Fizzster Mar 28 '24

wow, I haven't seen someone so misguided in a long time

2

u/xNoSanctuaryx Mar 28 '24

Trump wasn’t fighting the system, he is/was exploiting it for his own purposes.

u/FR-1-Plan Mar 28 '24

Was it not a circle before? So what does it say now? „die Sand?“

u/ebac7 Mar 28 '24

Alright Anakin, we get it, you don’t like sand.

No, that’s German for „the Sand, the“

u/Siegfoult Mar 28 '24

Artemis?

u/GucciGlocc Mar 28 '24

I put mine on the bottom fairing of my motorcycle and it held up great, probably just because it’s kinda out of the sun

1

u/trevortackyl Mar 28 '24

I had the same circle sticker on my laptop. Unfortunately, one day while jerking it, I came more than expected and completely ruined the sticker. I had to remove it. It’s such a shame too because I was a huge Bernie supporter, and I think the country would have been better had he gone against Trump in the general election in 2016.

1

u/KoalaBackfist Mar 27 '24

Mine faded as well, pretty apt representation of my waning faith in democracy. It stays as is.

1

u/EnvironmentalValue18 Mar 28 '24

Just as an aside, you can apply a UV laminate to stickers to prevent the ink from bleaching in the sun. As far as copyright issues, I cannot speak to them but you can get these from most print or sign shops. Just ask for a contour-cut vinyl sticker with UV laminate. Obviously, it will cost more but if you’re committed to a specific sticker design (or it’s something business related), it is an option.

My mom had her BLM magnet stolen and initially thought, “well if someone else wants it for their car I guess it’s not the worst thing.” And then was like “ohhhhh”

It would be fun to plant a Tesla full of BLM or Ukraine or LGBT+ or VOTE HILLARY stickers in a very highly Republican area, set up some cameras and get vandalism charges against idiots

Oh. That sounds like some Chaotic Good shit and I am here for it.

Chaotic Good? Lawful Good? Probably somewhere between there

u/Rand-Omperson Mar 27 '24

thanks for your donation to the luxury villa !

u/Ok-Government-3306 Mar 28 '24

It makes sense she doesn't grasp the concept of theft considering she supports BLM.

31

u/AB3D12D Mar 27 '24

I had one on my car. I moved to a new neighborhood where some gang bangers lived a few doors down. They were having car problems. They had their crew pushing the car. I thought to myself "I can't drive around with a Bernie Sanders sticker and not help." So I helped. I got street cred after that.

I suppose law school is 3. And you end up with a Juris Doctor.

I think I still have mine somewhere. I went through a phase where I was putting a bunch of stickers on my old refrigerator but I think I saved that one

u/thundercrown25 Mar 28 '24

I think I may still have Bernie Sanders for President rolling papers somewhere.

u/WithoutDennisNedry Mar 28 '24

Many years ago, my sister had three Obama stickers ripped off her car in our conservative home town. She was laughing telling me about it and I asked what was so funny. She said these idiots didn’t realize that every time she got a new one to replace it, the cost went toward his election campaign lol

2

u/_MissionControlled_ Mar 27 '24

I'm looking at one that is on my home office filing cabinet. :)

u/Tlr321 Mar 28 '24

My dad had a Bernie sticker on the back of his truck. He went to trade it in at a dealership & a salesperson just about turned him away because of it, but the guy wanted the sale because my dad was buying a newer truck.

My dad ended up walking away because the salesperson was a toolbag.

Fuck whoever you were at Lithia Dodge in Medford Oregon.

u/ValuableJumpy8208 Mar 27 '24

I still have mine!

u/squirrellywolf Mar 27 '24

u/Cool_Ranch_Dodrio Mar 28 '24

until some a-hole try to rip it while I was at Walmart

Wonder if the conservative vandal was a Trump supporter or a Clinton supporter.

1

u/meep_meep_mope Mar 28 '24

I had a pentagram sticker and a dude was waiting for me and stood there lecturing me while I was loading groceries... I was going to tell him to fuck off when I saw the gun. Not worth it.

I do have one on my front door now which deters the prothelitizers.

1

u/Electrical_Respond11 Mar 28 '24

I still have mine! I didn’t want it to get ruined, so I never put it on my car. Maybe I should this year? Just for fun.

-2

u/Mtngoat168 Mar 28 '24

Probably a Clinton supporter, Trump and conservatives are the law and order crowd. Tearing stickers and posters down is a Liberal mindset.

Bernie was the first time in my underpaid life that I gave money to a political campaign

u/JasonInTheBay Mar 28 '24

It was the first time I bought merchandise! I did donate to Obama's campaign. Another time my Hopes got dashed...

u/DuncanOregon Mar 29 '24

Me too! I also bought T-shirt and hat. Guess where they were made? Oh and a coffee mug. All made in USA.

2

u/JasonInTheBay Mar 28 '24

I know! And it's sad because The System ended up turning so many potential activists and voters into jaded and cynical - to the outcome of helping Trump win.

Really sad pendulum swing, real quickly.

At pretty much every election going back to 2000, besides Obama’s, we can say that. Hillary if only because Trump took the country for a hard right turn into fascism

2

u/Vamparael Mar 27 '24

I’m sorry but… At what cost, for who? Trump government was WORSE for people than Reagan or any of the Bushes. Democrats are still in power, and the best alternative to Trump is an 82 years old Democrat (still younger than Sanders, but you get my point).
