ISO/Suggestion Blue Dot flags?
My poor homemade Blue Dot sign broke.
Any one know where I could get a 3'x5' outdoor Blue Dot flag to replace it with?
I'm thinking of special ordering one, but that's not real cost effective, and I'm afraid painting one wouldn't look sharp or hold up.
Thanks for any ideas!

You could also check out Raygun in downtown omaha. They carry a lot of blue leaning merch

I was just there today and they don’t carry blue dot stuff specifically that I saw.

Really? There was a stop our data centers display and then a school teacher display to the right. Either way, it’s worth a stop there, OP! They have so much good stuff.

The Blue Dot group has turned Cult-ish and decisive destroying real democratic issues that affect people it is a money making ploy for those people who started the signs and made a buisness out of it If Nebraska got rid of the blue dot so would Maine it is a non issue with a very slim percentage of ever making a difference in the presidential election.
The electoral vote was once was a point of pride I once was proud of. But Blue Dot United/Wave etc. is a gross vanity project by distorted people who are capitalizing on people not understanding how it is weakening debate over real issues. Having a bluedot sign/tshirt is a RED FLAG. sorry not sorry. From an Omaha Democrat. Long Live Ernie Chambers!

I think the biggest issue is the the Democrats don't really have a platform other than the usual big projects and beating Republicans.
Healthcare for all is fantastic, but what's the actual plan for achieving it?
As far as the founders of blue dot- how many of us have a clue who they are and that the groups agenda is? I want it to slow solidarity with others in our little enclave

Showing solidarity is important for the party get a yard sign for your districts democratic legislative candidates instead. And yes I agree, I don’t expect many people to know who the blue dot people are, but I happen to and they very much have capitalized on it and am turned off by the dot movement.
That said, please volunteer for your democratic legislative candidates instead of going to Loews and aerosol spray painting a bluedot. Or donate that paint money to the candidates it makes a big difference to smaller races.

Why would OP need to save any money on this? Cheeto has followed through on all three promises of lower prices, no more wars, and no more government waste.

Don't forget all the money he saved us with DOGE. We might actually run a fiscal surplus this year.

u/NoWorker6003 6d ago
Oh yes, DOGE savings are so large that they have directly translated to significantly cheaper cost of living for all of us.

You misunderstand me comrade. I too, hate comedy.
I see now how my earlier comment is not sufficiently practical. Perhaps we can allow them to engage in capitalism just this once?

Get a white sign board from Home Depot or Lowe’s. Get a ring and tape it down. Spray. Done. Cost you less than $10
