Visual Language of American Electoral Politics



Obama. Romney.

They each spend a lot of money trying to convince you they are as different as north and south, oil and water, day and night.  Their policies and general understanding of the world are quite similar.  They both represent large political machines and dance to the music financed by corporate America.  Their "stories" are disseminated by journalists who, through documenting the election carnival, confer an air of seriousness to the idea of choice and public empowerment at the ballot box.
