On their face, they offer nothing more than supporting peace between people and aren’t connected directly to a political movement. But they are a type of political statement/virtue signal in a similar manner.

If you see someone with a COEXIST sticker on their car or wearing a mask with that, who do you assume they voted for?

Here is the difference between your symbol matching and mine. I dont think that the COEXIST *means* Bidenista. It means someone who believes in the message of that symbol primarily. It may be likely that the COEXISTER will vote left, but the symbol hasnt been transplanted to mean 'I vote left and this is my means to tell you that without having a Bernie Bros sticker on my car'.

You seemingly subscribe to the 'full subsumation' theory.
