    Yea, and I’m sure a lot of people thought the same thing and also didn’t vote for them. Vote for what you believe in or don’t show up. Again, the least you could do is not actively support the people making life worse. Don’t give them your votes, they don’t give a shit about your reason and in fact the LPC relies on your belief that they’re the only valid alternative. They do not care that you don’t like them as long they don’t actually face any consequences for the shit they do.

    The LPC straight-up denied us election reform so they could keep winning. Anti-democratic as fuck, should have disqualified them from being an option and yet.

      Canada has very similar issues to the Untied States. One party of fascists and another party of people who don’t try very hard because they’re running on “at least we’re not the fascists”

        And a third party, with good policies, which everyone desperately wants to pretend has zero chance. The US has a real two-party system; ours is by choice. It’s stupid as hell that we just keep letting it happen.

          What we need is ranked choice voting so people can vote NDP without the risk of it leading to conservatives winning

            Yea, and the LPC has already shown us that they refuse to make that happen because they know what would mean. The Conservatives would never, but the LPC literally ran on it and then through away any changes because it would mean denocracy would destroy them. They don’t give a flying fuck about what we think, they only want power, and they’re certainly not going to make things better if we keep electing them.
