Because they they are closet commies?
Freaky. A combination of Socialist Realism (make that Irrealism) and Peter Max (remember him?). But nothing beats the “Obama Rising From the Waves” poster that people have put up here a few times.
For a liberal Democrat, the only direction they can go is down. (And believe me, Communism is the lowes!)
It is, in fact, quite emotional and effective - the Communists have shown that propaganda is far more powerful than bullets....which they use quite effectively, too.
The Right should learn from them and use the same tools.
“What is it about Democrats that attracts them to retro-Communist posters?”
They are communists of course!
Looks like Communist Party USA thinks Obama is someone who can deliver a *bloodless* revolution.

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA):
"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

They are DINOs and have been for a long time. The Communist Left Radicals of the 1960s ARE the face of the modern Democrat Party.
They are Socialists. Not Democrats. The old Democrats are largely now RINO Republicans.
And the political “middle” has lurched left because Conservativism is dumped on by the majority of the political class and socialist intellectuals in print and universities.
The DemonRATs are Neo-Marxists.
Yeah, well, that is what they’ve been doing since the 1960s AT LEAST....policy wise, art wise, rhetoric wise.
Believe me, I used to be a ‘rat. A pathetic bunch when it comes to caring about freedom.
