The phrase “vote blue” is an exhortation to vote for Democratic candidates only, no matter where and no matter what the issues are. While the specific origin of the slogan "Vote blue no matter who" is unclear, it became widely discussed and entered common parlance after the 2000 United States Presidential Election.
The association of the colors red and blue with the Republican and Democratic parties respectively became a staple of political discourse following the 2000 election, according to CNN. It became a shorthand for describing political differences and reflected the US's two-party system.
The "Vote blue no matter who" slogan has been a subject of discussion and debate among various groups, including centrists and liberals. Some argue that the slogan drives the political spectrum further to the right, while others defend it as a way to minimize harm or a necessary strategy to defeat opposing parties.
It was just announced that 'VOTE BLUE' has already racked up nearl one-half billion dollars in donations just this year, and in the arenas they play, money talks and bullshit abounds...
I have a slogan as well:
ReplyDelete"IF YOU VOTE BLUE
WELL, FUCK YOU TOO".
Political differences between the two major parties...LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen the short-attention crowd and illiterates can tell colors, but not remember to vote along party lines or vote down ballot (party only), nor remember issues or candidates...kinda like countries that have faces next to boxes because of posters.
ReplyDeleteThe Demos have been doing that since Old Hickory.
