They don't know there's such a thing as the Black Sea, so an enclosed area must be a state.

Also, the Black Sea is clearly a nickname for a large population of black people in that area, and we all know Trump is winning with black voters, ergo

That stupid, stupid man somehow made it onto the ballot in my state - I mailed mine in weeks ago, I don't know if that matters - and I don't remember that being his VP candidate.

I hope he dies, one day, in a manner befitting his legacy: eating a pair of extremely expensive sunglasses someone convinced him were edible.

In Canada, red is the colour associated with the Liberal Party (centrist) and current PM Trudeau. Blue is for Conservatives.

Before 2000 American news agencies would often switch the colors election to election.

Yes, but she also wants to discuss how Richard Spencer is a leftist because "he relies on identity politics and that's the domain of the left".

It's the same in a bunch of other places as well. America is just backwards for no reason. One guy used those colours on TV twenty years ago and they stuck.

Before 2000 one of the networks used blue for the incumbent party and red for the other. But people started associating red with Republicans and blue with Democrats, and we've had that ever since.

In the 2000 election it was such a crazy drawn-out process with the Supreme Court getting involved that we all spent a week watching newscasts tallying up state electoral vote totals and all en masse adopting the vocabulary of "red states" and "blue states" (which had no prior connotations associated, they were just one network's convenient palette that they all kind of settled on) just to keep their narratives straight. Before then all the elections were basically over in a night and there was none of that protracted nightly-news RED STATE BLUE STATE BUTTERFLY BALLOT HANGING CHADS bullshit hovering over us, so it never stuck.

It's even dumber than that. Kanye was already on the ballot as some gazillionaire's VICE presidential candidate. So he ignored his neatly-printed name and added a scrawled version, just so he could be the top name on the "ticket".

I regret that I live in the same state as this numbskull sort-of lives in. At least I'm in a different corner of the state than him.
