I mean, politics aside, it looks bad

It was inspired by this Obama poster. Say what you want about Obama but the poster was fire....The Kamala poster kinda sucks. Like the Obama poster is really good propaganda. The Kamala poster feels like a cheap imitation. I guess they should have gone for something different.

(Im only talking about the piece of art)

Yeah exactly, Obama may be a war criminal but he looks damn good in the poster

HOPE

lol I can't believe I bought into this way back when and voted for him, first and only vote I've ever cast. Truly cursed.

I didn't buy into it but in my cynicism I bought into something worse, lesser evil voting

I would have abstained from voting for Obama a third time if I could

Smiling for it was a bad move and they made her smile look worse

My partner says it makes her look Jokerfied

I don't disagree

So they put her in white face? Really?

Obama is my dad and Kamala is my mommy

it doesn't even look like her, who stole this artist's sauce HOPE was a kickass poster

So this is Shepherd Fairey (Andre has a posse., OBEY., and the famous Obama HOPE).

I am/was a fan of his. Have a few of his prints. Really disappointed me to see this last week when it came out.
