I am BLUE

I am a normal person. I care about politics. I generally vote for the most electable progressive. I'm in the mainstream. I want what our nation to live up to its ideals.

While the political divide is real, some of the more zealous DENIM and AQUA members of our coalition take it too seriously. I can work with both DENIM and PURPLE people (up to a point) because they believe in national stability and progressive ideals.

The AQUA people might be worth working with to promote our ideals, but they are very unreliable. They don't seem to understand that some of their ideas just aren't politically feasible. The RED people are unreliable, too, but sometimes you need to compromise with them to get important things done. For the good of the nation. And GRAY people are usually too confused and apathetic to bother with except during elections.

Everybody knows that YELLOWs are reactionary social darwinists who are only lightly tethered to reality. They try to claim they're speaking for the GRAYs (who they call "the silent majority") but they're so obviously fringe radicals that it's hardly worth mentioning them. They're constantly scheming with GREENs and ORANGEs (not that there's much practical difference between them) to turn the REDs against us and to disrupt the important work of governing the nation. Then the YELLOWs try to convince everyone that we BLUEs are the problem.

How could people like me be the problem? I am standing up for the cooperative ideals of our society and for national stability.
