Bernie to smitten to hear her say red or is it because they are both commies?

IIRC, the LEFT used to be ‘red’ and the Right were blue. Then Big Media changed the colors......I suspect the Media didn’t want ANYONE associating the LEFT with Communism.

I say it’s because they are both commies. If you are old enough to remember - blue WAS the color of the Republicans for many years. I do believe when the Rems were taken over by socialism, the party leaders and the media changed it and took it over so they wouldn’t appear *so* communist to middle America. It was all in the plan.
They knew what they were saying.

in before - I spent too much time gabbing - haha

But red is typically considered the color signifying the Republican party, while blue is considered the color signifying the Democrat party...

...if you are less than 26 yrs old. If you are in your late 30s or older red is typically seen as communist.

The media changed it for Moscow Bill in 1992.

Ohh she wants to flip it red alright. Not Republican red though.

The “press” used to alternate the blue and red between the incumbents and the challengers.

After the 1980 election, where Reagan turned the nation “red”, the press decided that it was a “most opportune moment” to stop the alternation of colours and permanently assign the COMMUNIST colour to the Republicans, and assign blue to the demonrats.

Yet another example of the subtle manipulation of the American voter.

It’s FAR worse up here, but then again, we’re a sanctuary for your leftist scum. Just ask them.

Found this quote from the event:

And we say to Trump, instead of showing us your strength by tearing children from their families, where was your strength in standing up to Putin and Russia?

Sanders and his wife spent their honeymoon in Russia. Oh the irony of going RED.

My apologies, it was the 1984 election.

You got half of it.

By causing intellectual whiplash the MSM's goal was to break-down and eliminate rational thought.

Simply put, their goal was to brainwash their viewership.

A brainwashed viewer believes and obeys without question.

Ocasio never got the memo to keep the plan on the down-low... ;-)

In NY State, the GOP petitions are pink. LOL. And the Dems have green. Wonder what the Green Party has?

The Conservatives have gray, which is nice. . . . Anybody ever seen one? Didn’t think so.

It’s not official anymore, but nobody wants to change.

[GOP Poet]

Wow! I’d forgotten. But also wow on how badly the Dems lost to Reagan!!! :D

[GOP Poet]

She’s saying it like it is. She’s in the red hammer and sickle party.

I remember it too. It was about the same time that "pro-abortion" became "pro-choice".

[UCANSEE2]

I suspect the Media didn’t want ANYONE associating the LEFT with Communism.

The basic reason for the change was that the DEMS/MEDIA knew that red instilled a sense of alarm in viewers while blue instills a sense of calm.

Since their campaign platforms consist of lies and promises that will never be met, they had to use any advantage they could get (or steal).
