It would be really nice if people supported them instead of the corporate liberals.

Your argument is at the wrong party bud. The CONSERVATIVE VOTERS should be flocking to the NDP because every single fucking conservative I talk to just complains about "CorrUpT LibErAls" who are in the pockets of the big business. "The conservatives are for the working man" is what they say.

Fuck no. The NDP is. And imagine a world where the NDP had the amount of seats the conservatives do right now, and where the conservatives have the number of seats the NDP currently have. How does that look? Much much better

"The conservatives are for the working man" is what they say.

I'm constantly shocked by how many people fall for that easily (and regularly) disproven blatant lie.

Yes! That's what confuses me. I'm voting Liberal because there's no real proportional representation (yet 🤞) and we need to keep Pierre out of office.

However, when I speak to Conservative voters and I ask them why ... they're describing the NDP platform and I'm so confused.

It pisses me off to no end. The liberals ARE LITERALLY the best party for the job right now at this given moment. And the NDP needs to really work on their messaging and social outreach if they want more seats. For those voting conservative..... Honestly they need to go fuck themselves because this isn't a fucking hockey game, this is politics and it impacts everyone's lives. And determines what kind of country we want to be, one that's more like America? Or ones that maintains our values and independence and one that's closer to the EU

I feel the same way. I think the ”strategic voting” bloc comes out every election to tell us how to vote. I wish our votes weren’t hindered by the FPTP system.

It's the same "conservative protection" gang who opposes proportional representation then victim blames us for "splitting the vote" until they decide to beat everyone up with their bad policies.

[–] Thepotholeman 10 points 2 days ago

Yeah, ok bud. It's not the fault of the liberals or the conservatives that the NDP hasn't been able to Run a successful election. The NDP sucks at being vocal during government and attacking the liberals when they should be attacking the conservatives.
