This probably WOULD make sense to the people running AOC's leaflets campaign since it doesn't involve actual properly spelled words but anyway (fedia.io)

@[email protected] apparently so! But as I was saying later in the replies, the thing is, Arabic script is used for multiple languages so, idk, even if I don't speak Urdu but I'm Pakistani-adjacent if I see this it's the equivalent of an anglophone seeing someone pointing out a supposedly french sentence but it's in upside down lettering 😂 so.... No one saw the mockups from any relevant language background???

@[email protected] Oh, no question it's a failure on the campaign's part. It's pretty bad to make a bilingual sign and not have anyone who can read the script glance over it.
