Lib family member took this photo while they were campaigning for Kammy in Michigan. The rest of the office was covered in "_____ for Kamala/Walz" posters.

This is all they have left. Shallow attempts at identity politics and blue maga cult like idolization of normie centrist libs.

Michigan* for Harris Walz

* May not apply to the 60% of primary voters in Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Hamtramck, and everyone with a conscience that took the time to vote uncommitted to protest ongoing support for genocide

They really tried to sweep that up all under the rug huh?

If I'm making a cardboard cutout of myself to sit in a campaign office, that cutout is going to be 10' high bare minimum.

This scene is in every "Coordinated campaign" office. Billions of $ spent on this...

Ew. Youd think for a crucial state like Michigan theyd have more union shit at least

it took me a while to recognize Gretchen Whitmer. she's really trying for a Wonder Woman pose there I guess

Did they white-wash her skin?

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Whitmer is already that pasty

Okay so instead of getting wound up about...everything here, I just gotta say, the Harris-Walz logo SUCKS.

In a majority brown country, places like R*ddit talk about how dystopian and cult of personality-like this image is:

"I don't know why but just looking at this gives me the creeps."

"Let me get this straight, their government has money to distribute all of this material right across their country while their people starve?"

"Wow. Just wow. And they try and convince us that they're a democracy?"

"This feels like something straight out of 1984."
