Something like this doesn't exist in Poland, well not in the shape or form it's in the US. At most if someone has the ability to, you will see officially printed banners from a party being hanged on someone's fence.

Here's an example how this even looks like, straight from a banner printing service: https://www.taniebanery.com.pl/

Of course they are an eyesore, a waste of materials, and are littered fucking everywhere during election season.

Okay, sometimes there's exceptions

But they aren't novelty items that are stylized to look like straight out of Barbie.

So again. Why the fuck is America such a weird and wild country? Why the fuck would anyone promote a politician out of their own pocket in a "quirky" and "cutesy" or "relatable" way???

Jesus I hate the US. Yes this is a bit of a vent post, cry about it :3

I understand that elections are a thing, but I hate how busy and ad-looking most political banners are now. It cheapens it in my eyes, although I guess cheap appearances for the cheap politics of neoliberalism is fitting. What I'm saying is, retvrn to the days when a banner was a long lush piece of cloth with just the symbol of your ideology on it, and you could hang 4 to 6 of those suckers in a good-sized room. I know most people think of that description and think of nazi banners, but fuck them, they stole that from us like everything else even remotely stylish they have.

I'm a fan of elegant simplicity in banners
