Item: 4 vertical sticker (3″ x 5″)
Price: $3.50

When I created my Boo!Qaeda bumper sticker, I was criticized for excessive enigmaticism. It’s a valid critique. Yorkrules is avowedly inaccessible because my perspective regularly lacks exposition. (The frequent alliteration and multisyllabic lexicon further muddy my intentions, I know.)
4 is fairly self-explanatory, of course, but as I appreciate the constructive criticism regarding my clarity, I’ll add a little explication.
The grammatically correct tag line of this design would read VOTE DEMOCRATIC. I’ve removed the “ic” to reinforce the ickiness. Democrat, when used in reference to the party, is considered a “political epithet.” A verbal flick to the ear, a minor moment of disrespect, it’s simply stated name-calling. It’s what our current president does.
This is a rare example of subtraction from a man who’s quite accomplished at addition (The Iraq War, for example, has cost over $517 billion, and is expected to climb into the trillions over the long term.)
With this sticker, I embrace such name-calling as emblematic of our present political era, and I look forward to the day* when we can move beyond such silliness and see what this country can really amount to.
My thanks to friend Memo for suggesting that I convert a recent post into this sticker.
