    In my riding the NDP got 3.5% of the vote. I would absolutely prefer an NDP government but they were never going to win in my riding.

      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”
