I mean, they finally did stop flying the Stars & Bars over the statehouse. That makes them super-librul, right?

And they have the same right to make their voice heard as you. If your candidate loses, so be it. Accept it and move on. Disparaging everyone who lives in a particular region or those who disagree with you is a little harsh.

... that classifying a state as "red" doesn't mean that every resident of that state is a Republican?


Don't bother answering - I think it's evident that you don't know that.

That's no reason to project your ideas on other Democrats, in red states or otherwise.

Your real problem here is that Hillary is about to have an enormous win in SC, so you have to find some way to make that victory somehow irrelevant.

BTW, you'd best start coming up with excuses for Hill's victories in the other upcoming states, because there are going to be a lot of them.
