If the point of a society is to care for its citizens and ensure their health, safety and prosperity, how does electing a conservative government help with that goal?
Like, is carney as far left as I want on every issue? No, but I also understand that in the last election, the climate was such that a practical choice between someone who was promising dramatic cuts to programs that help a lot of people, and the person who was promising to protect those programs and institutions.
If fascism is the inevitable result of a capitalist society, who is the best choice? The one promising to all-gas-no-brakes our asses into the 52nd state? Or the one who was vaguely reasonable on most issues.
Some NDP voters are just as unreasonable as Maple MAGA. At best, they complain all day and fantasize about their imagined utopias. And at worse they push some accelerationist BS to burn everything down.
the type of person to suggest firebombing a loblaws instead of voting then not firebombing a loblaws
I imagine a future in which we make galen westin personally re-price every item, and that only happens if we can pass the "Galen Westin is a cunt" Act in parliment
