BOTH!

Yeah, a little of both, I think. I don't think pressure to vote is all that awful though -- EVERYONE should be voting!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

probably both, although maybe not so much pressure as a reminder?

Yeah, both - it's a symbol of pride, but it's worn to incite others to act. And I think they were originally created in the hopes of getting people to vote...

But then, I am a cynic.
