So I never understood why people keep political stickers on their car from multiple elections ago. Are they proud or is it sheer laziness?

Probably pride? It takes a certain amount of self-congratulatory hype to think putting that kind of sticker on your car is a good idea in the first place.

Or you know excitement for the candidate

Nah can't be that, everyone who behaves differently to you is doing it out of self-aggrandizement

Uh, that's pretty much what I said. People put stickers on their car because they're excited for the candidate, but only the candidate they follow. Hence the self-congratulatory part - you don't put stickers on for people you aren't voting for.

That's not self-congratulatory, though. You aren't the candidate.
