Should you keep wearing your midterm apparel after the election?

Now that the 2018 midterms are over, what do you do with all your election swag? "I Voted" stickers that were the hottest accessory on Election Day are now just kind of dingy pieces of paper collecting lint on your coat. Wearing your cool Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shirt just feels like gloating now. But trashing all of your 2018 election accessories feels like a waste--that black-and-white "Beto for Senate" hat matches everything! Should you move on from the 2018 midterms or keep wearing your swag?

PERSPECTIVES

On Election Day, Queen Bey posted several Instagrams of herself wearing the now iconic black-and-white "Beto for Senate" hat. What is she going to do, throw that bad boy in the trash? 

No! It's cute! It's fashion forward! It lets everyone know she's way too cool to vote for Ted Cruz! 

LeBron's been seen sporting the Beto hat, too. Look how well it matches everything else he's wearing! He's gotta keep it, it coordinates too well to chuck it in the bin.

Good campaign merch knows no shelf-life. People are still wearing Cynthia Nixon shirts months after she lost her primary election to Andrew Cuomo. But "I'm a Miranda and I'm voting for Cynthia" is too good of a slogan to just shove in the back of your closet! Keep showing your Cynthia pride!

Not everyone's midterm swag is as sturdy as a hat or shirt. Most people ended the day with nothing but a flimsy "I Voted" sticker to commemorate the day. 

While some stickers are still firmly adhered to voter's coats, shirts, and phone cases the day after the election, others have noted out that once the day is over, there's really not a lot of reason to keep them. 

You could also find something better to do with your 2018 midterm swag. Hundreds of women visited pioneering suffragette Susan B. Anthony's grave in Rochester, New York and placed their "I Voted" stickers on her headstone. Per NPR

Anthony never lived to see the 19th Amendment adopted. But on Tuesday, some people did their best to repay her sacrifice -- with stickers. Lots and lots of stickers.

Some voters in New York used their stickers as a sign of protest, sticking them to the large gold TRUMP sign outside the Trump International Hotel.
