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
~40% of the absurdities associated with US elections is the drive for profiteering. Gotta sell merch gotta sell swag BUY your politics before you cast a vote. Buy swag to say you did that too
logistically though, this is facilitated by two things: there is no real election window, media does political coverage all the time & political ads are a constant presence. these shops therefore have time to set up and dedicate production (well in the US generally procurement) instead of normal printers seasonally catering to political customers then going back to normal stuff. additionally there’s absolutely no regulations on it, I haven’t even heard of individual towns banning the election circus even though its well within their legal power
