At election time the pukes all wear blue ties on T V, and have blue lawn signs.

[pwb]

At least here in my area. No mention on the lawn signs they are republican. Another sleazy tactic that probably works for them.

To be fair though democrats don't mention they are democrats on their lawn signs either. I don't know why they don't. I sure would.

Red and blue seem to lose meaning at election time.

1. You just attacked the Republican Brand...

Conservatives do the reverse.

A candidate knows that their base knows who to vote for, but wants to keep things a neutral as possible for low information voters.

2. In my NJ area, Republicans don't mention party, use non-red signs. Democrats say DEMOCRAT at bottom.

3. Cowards don't want to be id'ed in association w/ rump...we must make sure that they are ...

tagged w/ being w/ the party that allows sexual predators of all types to exist, w/o fear, as being w/ the party that allows our freedoms to be slowly cut away, all because of their false claims that national security is endangered.

This party of repugs have clearly shown that they have failed in their duty to the country in providing checks and balances to rump and his cronies.

They do not deserve to be voted in, either for the first time, or re-elected.

4. Right. When republicans say look over here, look over there?

We are on to them.

5. Barbara Comstock (R-VA 10) "Independent"

I keep seeing this on TV. (I am in neighboring WV-2 where tRump hugger Mooney brags about his sycophancy)

[honest.abe]

6. Yeah, here too in Maryland.

It makes me ill. Republicans cheat to win.

[pwb]

7. Yes and in so many ways.

8. Red and blue lost meaning long ago

About the time people started using them as metaphors for anger and sadness. They used to describe points on a color spectrum. They lost meaning again when the media started using them for partisanship symbols. If significant numbers of people are relying on them to determine who they should vote for, we are in worse shape than I thought.

[pwb]

9. I must have missed that!

What's the blue wave all about then?

[loyalsister]

10. Obviously it the language being used to describe a potential electoral shift

But, my point stands. Two words that were devoted to representation of specific emperical observation have been polluted as they have begun to be used symbolically. If we can't be bothered to look beyond the visual symbol, we are in trouble.

[pwb]

11. Yea, blue.

Your point stands with you, not me. Lots of references to blue as being democratic. I'm not going to argue with you about a well known fact. Peace to you.

12. The NFL has 32 teams.

They are all exactly the same. They play a win/lose sport.

Many love one team, and hate the others. Their life is festooned with their team's colors and they detest anyone that might display another's colors. Even though the teams are exactly the same.

We'd better quit seeing only red/blue and D/R, and use our brains to choose the best candidates.

It's time to get this country back on track.

It's not a game.
