    Blue state, blue governor, blue mayor, blue senators, you physically cannot get more blue if you tried.

    And yet, here we are

      “…a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”

        There’s 0 difference between Red Team and Blue Team. They’re both the same team.

          The blue team is slightly better at pinkwashing their imperialism though

        I would say at this point there’s no discernable difference between a blue mayor and a red mayor pretending to be blue.

      “Blue mayor” and “Blue governor” are REALLY stretching the definition here… with a healthy push from the ever shifting Overton window.

      Look at actions, not words or badges that people pin to their own lapels without earning them.

        They’re members of the Democratic party. They are, by definition, blue.

          They are a reddish shade of purple, at best.

          US Supreme Court justices are, by definition, the highest arbiters of truth in the US… BUT the definition is clearly trailing the reality.

          Actions, not words.
