I think you got that backwards. He's not wearing the flag pin, because the flag pin has no substance. That's the point.

Of course he's trying to get attention and "stick it to the Republicans". Of course he knows he can't win.

That's like, a no-brainer, right?

But that's still no reason not to sieze every opportunity to ridicule your opponent, right?

Unfortunately, he's kinda going about it the wrong way (I mean, if I wanted to ridicule someone, I wouldn't use the American Flag to do it), but at least he's not creating any overt new anti-American images, he's just "not wearing the flag".

I mean, if he chose to wear an upside-down flag or something, that would be an "overt new anti-American image", right?

But nah, he's being pretty decent about it, all things considered.
