Democratic stickers

oldtoadwomanI started compiling this list for myself because I love stickers and thought I could combine my love of stickers with supporting good causes. But I'm also on a tighter budget than I was four years ago when I filled my sketchbook with progressive stickers, so this was also a bit of a wish list to send to my friends. And then someone said I should post this here, so I'm sharing.
I'm conflicted on what the strategy is with supporting state Democratic Parties. Should you put money into the "swing" states? Put money into the "red" states in the hopes of moving the needle? Shore up the "safe" states because we can't take them for granted? (When I was spending money in 2020, I kind of just went with whichever states had the coolest stickers because I'm shallow like that.)
I perhaps unfairly gauge a state party's optimism by how many sticker designs they offer and it was sort of interesting to see who has a huge and interesting selection and who doesn't even attempt to sell merchandise.
Most of the states that sell stickers, do so in packs of two which means even if you collect them yourself, you've got a spare to share with the world. (I like to put them on the backs of my letters when I write to an elderly relative who keeps sharing right-wing talking points when we talk on the phone.)
The links that I've provided go to each state's official Democratic Party's merchandise site (if they had one), but you can easily navigate from that page to just sending a donation directly. (I also compiled this list over two days a week ago, so some of the information may already be outdated. At least one site that only had one sticker design when I first looked already has more now.)
( list of links to each state's Democratic Party official merchandise )
Does anyone have an option about MoveOn? I saw they have a lot of progressive stickers (and they have the only site that sells them in packs of 10 instead of just 2 like most of them do), but I'm not sure if that's helping the cause or redirecting money away.
Are there any other progressive candidates or organizations selling stickers?
