There's a magnitude more of people who aren't either and wouldn't even understand the meaning of that phrase.

Honestly, I didn't get it at first - I thought it was some kind of matrix reference about the red and blue pill (in hindsight, not even for a particular reason), not about democrats and republicans... Even though I'm not american I feel stupid not having thought of that first.

Here's democracy for you.

I'd argue that "we" are pretty ignorant of what's really going on. (see the recent presidential election)
We live in a world of fast Internet, current-gen personal devices, and Instabizzes that make our life function. Our values (or what our Twitter feeds has told us our values should be) are apparently the new world order.
There's a LOT of people, both red and blue, whose lives need more than an emoji, hashtag, and a Ruby bootcamp to move the needle.
I think our bubble may be the one to pop.
