Whatever happened to "better dead than red"?


Communism is a slightly darker shade of red. Ya know, workers blood and all that.

This might be what allows Clinton to win Florida... Johnson. The same was heard around my polling place of strong Johnson performance syphoning Trump votes.

Clinton's leading in Texas by 3%

I am not saying it would matter for the general election much, but if we managed to turn the state blue or lean Republican I'd be static as fuck.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

First big county reporting in Florida: Lee +35,000 Trump, +13,000 Clinton. Slight shift towards Trump percentage wise. Also a few more small Republican counties reporting (Hamilton, Wakula, Columbia), following the general pattern.

I was somewhat predicting this with the whole #nevertrump movement down here and other gaffes, as well as a predictable higher Latino turnout since last week.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

That's back when True-Blue inferred Republican and Red-Blooded inferred Democrat. The colors switched in the late 90s due to most TV stations covering the election with their map board showing GOP red and Democrat blue.
