Instead of calling them "Red States"

[SHRED]

We need to start calling them "Russian Red States".

1. They should be called Socialist States, because they take in most of the CA, NJ & NY federal money.

2. strange this was alerted on?

3. No, SHRED, I don't think so.

I appreciate the thought, but it's not helpful to lasso and label folks.

There are un-red individuals in those states. (See some posts from southern DUers, for example.) The object should be to befriend people, NOT to alienate them.

8. Absolutely.

There are posts here saying that all the people in southern states or red states deserve to suffer for voting for Republicans. But we didn't all vote for them, in fact a lot of us voted for Democrats and are the ones who will suffer the most.

4. MI wouldn't be a red state if they would have counted the other 75K votes from Detroit and Flint.

5. 78.68% of my red state county voted for Clinton.

56.97% of your blue state county voted for her. You want to call us Russian Red?

They take more federal money than the contribute in taxes, yet bitch about "big government "

9. Back in the U.S.S.A, you don't know how lucky you stay, boys,

10. Red taken to a whole new level

[Ron Green]

11. I don't have enmity for the Russian people.

Do you think very many here at DU have negative feelings towards the Russian people?
