I swear I'm not trying to be offensive here, but I am trying to understand.
Ok... Beyond signaling a tribal affiliation with party, what do things like Campaign hats and stickers accomplish? What do people hope accomplish by wearing them?
I've got bumper stickers and stuff just to tell the world a little bit what I like, or like with the 7 pointed star send a signal to other otherkin. We're a small community so I figure, fly a flag and find an ally.
Is it like that?

It creates "buzz." The majority of people think politics is boring, or something you don't bring up in polite conversation. Seeing yard signs signifies that your neighbors think the election is interesting and important. They may not sway you, but they may lead you to pay more attention when political issues are discussed in the media, and they may make you more likely to take the time to vote.
