I just don't get it.

What is the point?

Other paraphernalia boasted messages such as “LGBT for Wendy,” “Latinos for Wendy,” “African Americans for Wendy” and “Women for Wendy.”

You "just don't get" what?

You've never seen political junk being sold or passed out before?

The Democratic Party has been trying to sell me an Obama bumper sticker for six years now.

I HATE bumper stickers.

Identity politics. The message is not "Vote for Sitzbag because he'll do good stuff." Nor is it "Vote for Sitzbag because he's a great guy." It's "People like you and me are for Sitzbag."

In other words, you try to put into the voters' minds that part of being whatever they think of themselves as being, is being for Sitzbag. Both parties do this every which way they can.

When I consider the current state of regular advertizing, that has sunk to an abysmally low intellectual level that political ads are this bad is really not surprosing.
