# They All Vote for President of the U.S. (Chinese-language poster distributed in Asia)

A Chinese-language photo collage in red, white and blue borders: a dense crowd of faces above a central man in overalls dropping a ballot into a box, ringed by photographs of a typist, a bare-chested laborer, a doctor examining an infant, a housewife, a man reading a ledger, a man sawing wood and a woman reading a newspaper. The caption says they all vote for the president of the U.S. The tell is plain-folks with bandwagon: ordinary occupations stand for universal participation.
