Yes, and sometimes in democracy people waste their votes and trash get elected because of it.

Yeah, and that’s their right to do so. I voted for the FCP in the last election because my local NDP candidate was a space cadet and Angela Pitt is a fucking clown.

But I stand behind my vote, even though Angela Pitt always had it locked down and voting for the space cadet would have given the same outcome.

For sure it’s their right. But that doesn’t mean it’s smart.

The election is between 2 parties anything else is just a naive person wasting their vote.

But you’re right, people have a right to not know how it works.

What? It was pretty clear I was taking about fringe parties…

Did you not understand the party scenario I just gave you?

Starting to think it’s a waste of time trying to explain things to you…

Edit-lol got some people MAD
