    Still remember her staffers getting the hexcode for that green tattooed on their arms

    Then when people were like, "Hey, maybe don't get tattoos that look like they're from a Nazi death camp" they got all indignant and weird

      on the other side of the Warren stan spectrum they were also getting quote tattoos... that sound like Nazi slogans... in gothic font...

        You might have to refresh us on this, because I do not recall that particular photo

          A Warren surrogate at the time may or may not have faked a barbershop to show how much black support Warren had.

    This color scheme and logotype was the best part of her campaign. Sadly, this lovely seafoam green will be forever tainted

    In a way the color choice here represented everything wrong with her stupid campaign and its failure with voters. She was counting on everyday people to catch the Easter egg about this being a nod to the Statue of Liberty and finding her to be clever for it, instead of just going "What is this pastel shit?" and moving on with their lives.

      Fucking hell, I never even got that. I thought that it is just a focus group tested inoffensive color scheme that somewhat stands out (because people associate seafoam green color with a lot of good things, like I said, mint ice cream, Hatsune Miku, Bianchi bike frame, and Fender guitars).
