My favorite by far, I've seen the artist do another one before about healthcare.

(28,509 posts)I'm a Sanders supporter but there's something about the imagery here that rubs me the wrong way. I get it that Clinton and DWS are in a bubble, but as a woman I was first struck with the image of two women under a glass ceiling - which we know is a feminist metaphor. So a man cracking the glass ceiling by making it cave on women is... icky. Then there's the Hitchcock-ian bird imagery - with Sanders as as a gleeful, all-powerful Hitchcock who has manifested his peaceful avian visitor into a malevolent flock set on attacking Tippi Hedren.
Bernie doesn't attack, his bird was a portent of peace.
Women don't belong under glass, even if they've hand-blown the globe around themselves.
Of all the wonderful, hopeful bird art I've seen championing Sanders, this piece may represent the one piece I've truly felt was in poor taste.
