As a Canadian and an American, please learn from our mistakes. Do not give in to the 2-party system. There is a way.

    Unless the Greens and NDP fix up their act regarding their leadership, I will be voting Liberal.

    All respect to Jagmeet as a person, but his leadership skills are fairly weak. I take a look at everything Charlie Angus has been doing as of late and just keep thinking, “man, I wish he was the guy in charge”. Bunch of petitions, incredible speeches, pissing off Rebel News into making counter-petitions that barely get a fraction of the signatures his petition got. Great stuff, just sucks he seems to be stepping out of politics by not running again.

    Also the Greens are just a mess thanks to Annamie Paul. She as a party leader lost her own seat. It’s ridiculous, imagine having the same outcome for your party leader as the fucking PPC. I’d consider throwing a vote their way, but Elizabeth May literally pushed for Paul heavily over Dimitri Lascaris in the party election when I think it’s fairly clear that Lascaris would have better leadership skills for the party than Paul did.

      Greens lost my support forever when they ratfucked Dimitri Lascaris and Maryam Haddad, just a shameful display of overtly anti-democratic values. All to install Paul who ended up failing catastrophically in less than two years.

    Yeah, this really isn’t the election to talk about this IMO. I completely agree, and I don’t think anyone likes FPTP, but this election will be arguably the most important in recent history.

      Are you for real right now? Thats what the NYT said about POTUS 2016 2020 and 2024.

      And the result of voting for the second-most evil? Steady slide into authoritarianism.33

      I appreciate that this, and the 2 or 3 other copy/paste messages you drop into seemingly every mildly political or media related post, and that it’s really important to spread the word about these things.

      It also kind of feels like spam. It would be nice if you took the time to write up something about the post you drop these in, and paste these at the bottom. Seems like you see a headline that these (valid and important) PSA copypastas might be even tangentially related or important to, drop off your pasta and then move on.

      Again, your copypastas are important for people to know about, they’re worth repeating so people are aware. The message could be better served by starting a conversation about it, and how it relates to the post… that’s all I’m saying…
