Carney had one simple job to earn my vote, stop this ridiculous ideologically driven hatred of legal gun owners by the liberal party. He chose otherwise.

Guess I’ll waste my ballot or worse vote CPC. As a white upper middle class male with savings I won’t suffer any of the fallout of a CPC win and honestly why should I care about people who use me as a wedge issue and vote to take away my property due to ignorance of the current laws. Fuck em and if they suffer some consequences then maybe they’ll reflect on that.

Choosing guns over human rights. This comment reeks of entitlement and selfishness.

[–] overcooked_sap -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hyperbole much? People only ever care once something affects them personally. Do I think the CPC is the better option, probably not. But I won’t reward the same bunch of clowns just cause they put a new face on the party and rolled back some policies in the face of election annihilation. They should have done that before it got to that point instead of talking down to people. Since I can’t vote green in my riding I’m left with little choice.

Highlighted the usual Conservative Projection™ for you.

[–] overcooked_sap -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sorry but I don’t get the point of your comment. Are you saying only conservatives exhibit this behavioural pattern? Cause I’d have to strongly disagree on that point.

And just for you, the last election I voted NDP. The one before that I voted Libs. And before that I didnt bother. So get lost with your bullshit generalizations. I’m far from a conservative but I also think people blindly voting a color is dumb and wish parties were not listed on ballots.

Was it a bullshit generalization? Sure. I've seen the "doing a lot of projection without realizing it" mostly - but not exclusively - from those considered "right wing", but they're not the only one doing it. I'm sure I've been guilty of it at a time or another, but if you ask everyone that spouts bullshit generalization to "get lost", given that

People only ever care once something affects them personally

Is also a bullshit generalization, I'd say we should both get lost.

Not together, evidently.
