This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can't wait.
I'm something of a redneck in a hard-right area and want one so bad. Probably get me in a fight.
Hell yeah. Was hoping I could snag one before dove opener so I could wear it as a "fuck you" to the racists who get invited to the hunts we're part of, but unfortunately they won't ship in time.
Just as well, I suppose, as the host might have thought twice about inviting us next year.
My extended family is gonna be so mad. It'll be hilarious
Now do camo sneakers. With gold trim. Just to poke the bear 😉
That's a great idea if you want to be honest. I don't often see camo sneakers; they'd definitely stand out.
I don't often see camoflauge sneakers
That just means they're doing their job!
I think the idea is that camo doesn’t stand out.
i've never in my 40+ years bought any political campaign merch, and i just spent $50 in the harris walz store
HARRIS WALZ ARE CLOSING IN ON TRUMP 2024
Honestly I wasn't going to either (because I prefer to directly donate) but when I saw that amrican/union-made label I instantly went for it. I am a sucker for American manufactured goods.
in a way it kind of sucks that we don't have the huge selection and variety of merch that GOP has. but dems just don't idolize their candidates to a fraction of a degree that trump voters do, so it's not cost effective for them to offer tons of different things. oh well
I went to a touristy area full of Tshirt shops recently and every shop had at least one poorly made trump shirt on display. I strongly suspect they do not financially support trump with those sales
if you're devoid of morals and never heard of "ethics" and you see gullible suckers throwing money at trump, then yea--you're going to sell bootleg trump shit. guaranteed profits
They got me with a dark brandon mug when Biden was still running. All their stuff is union made and they lean into the memes more than I expected
IT'S AMERICAN MANUFACTURED? Hol up let me check how much I got in my savings account

I'm really dismayed by your political system - I can't put into words how much it disturbs me. I know it's a good thing that the Harris Walz campaign is doing well, but all I hear when seeing news like this is how much money politicians are taking from "average" people to give to insanely rich advertising firms, to develop ads, and even more insanely rich media corporations, to run them. It's messed up.
It's not all ads and media. It's a little tough to get a good source on it, but somewhere between 30 and 50% seem to go to ads based on some older campaigns. The rest go to things like operations (offices, staff), consulting (political strategy, focus groups, etc) and other smaller things like travel and supplies and such.
Those later things can make a bigger difference than the ads, too. If Hillary spent better on her operations in Michigan, for instance, her team would have been more aware of her vulnerabilities. More money wouldn't have helped there, though, as her campaign was already flush with cash and was misspending it on places like Florida.
Ideally campaigns would be funded via taxes, merch sold purely at cost, and strict laws against soliciting donations or running privately funded ads
There is no need for official political merch anyway, it's not a band or a sports team. I don't mind if people or associations make and wear them, bit why does a political party need to sell stuff?
Teen vogue with the investigatory journalism here
Honestly, they’ve been doing good IJ for their niche for almost a decade
No bullshit: Teen Vogue has better political coverage than CNN.
Actual facts here.
I’ll take it.
Please don't discriminate because of a name.
I'm highly prejudiced against any Condé Nast publication.
Arstechnica has really good tech coverage as well despite being a Conde Nast publication as well
Whoa...made in America and union made.
Been pretty standard for Democratic campaigns for a while. Here's the back of a Biden 2020 pin with the union bug on it.
Also all of Bernie's shop is union made, obviously. At least if the camo hat becomes popular, it will be nearly invisible, unlike the glowing red cry for attention the MAGA hat is.
I might have to buy one just to support that union.
Careful with "American Made" tho; they often mean Guam or American Samoa which both get right shafted by government and policy.
My favorite is American assembled. All imported parts they just stick 2 parts together here and call it a day.
This is the news that will make Fox News shit their pants. When you lose camo folks, you have nowhere to go but down
Ha, the left can't wear red hats anymore but now the right can't wear camo hats anymore. That will hit them where it hurts.
Sold out. ☹️
And it's sold out on their site.
ok highest selling for now but once the jd vance couch condom, er I mean cover, comes out it will change things.
"People are saying there's never been such a well sold hat, okay?"
