Are You Voting Democrat?

[Dauphin]

Why are democrats blue and republicans red? Are republicans the true red menace of labour unions and communism and the democrats the true conservative right of centre party?

The colour scheme for US politics really does feel arse about face.

[Arrian]

It used to flip every cycle. A while back they stopped flipping it and it was set red/blue.

Props to Canada for handling this thing relatively well, btw. Your stats >> ours, bigly. Since my sister lives in Toronto, I'm happy to see it.

Welcome back Arrian.

Thankee, thankee. Been a loooong while. I decided to see what all y'all degenerates were up to.

I'm still playing heavily modded Civ4, sometimes. I hated 5 and never got 6.

Every major television network chose that color scheme in 2000 for no apparent reason and because of people in Florida can't do elections properly it was on TV for weeks and talking heads started referring to "red states" or "blue states".

Despite my concerns about age (I would prefer for a VP who was setup to run in 2024 and 2028), I would be very pleased for Warren to be Biden's VP.

(Biden will be 82 in 2025, and Warren would be 82 in 2032, maybe you could think Biden in 20, Warren in 24, AOC or other younger progressive in 28.)

[SlowwHand]

Oh, gawd. It's getting worse and worse, though not surprising.

[dannubis]

Why is that coward?
is it convenient that some pos spews the racist bigotry you are afraid to own up to?

[Donegeal]

AOC really hasn't done anything other than pissing off the other side. While that appears to be a required trait of Republicans, it's not one I want in a Democrat.

I agree that she hasn't lead anything or done anything serious, she is very young. But she is the only young progressive I can name, which is a sign of talent. On the other hand, you might be right that she is/will be too contentious.

I absolutely love AOC, not just because of being highly hittable.

She steers the conversations where it needs to be and holds everyone accountable in hearings, instead of just asking softball questions. Her mental acuity is off the chart and so far is uncorruptable. Every time Republicans try and troll her they end up making themselves look bad and get absolutely wrecked.



Even Cramer agreed with AOC with the level of outrage against Wall Street. Hopefully he's learned his lesson after getting grilled in 2009.

Imagine being on the American Right, which barfed up Trump and routinely traffics in the most absurd conspiracy theories, and complaining about those crazy liberals.

[SlowwHand]

[I AM I AM I AM MOBIUS]

No.
Furthermore, the American elections are a giant fraud.
Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are illegitimate.
Every voter should abstain.

[I AM I AM I AM MOBIUS]

I suspect all participating members from both campaigns will face indefinite detention for terrorist activities.

One day.

Blue Trump

Blue Trump

Wowwwwwwwwwww

WTF Joe?

I get the whole, trying to tailor your message to your audience, but he sounds like he's copying Trump almost word for word, completely insincere, and out of touch with his base. (On top of the obvious moral issues).

Do these guys not realize everybody has a camera now and your message is going to go viral ?

This whole speech sounds trying to hard also.
