Not really an import, this ha been the direction right-wing politics has been shifting since Harper. (And he’s still pulling Poilievre’s puppet strings.)

No, it is not management sorting and delivering mail to thw’e wrong addresses, over and over.

Sorry, not everyone who considers the party or their leader to be weak is a racist asshole. Singh has never been a strong leader. Trustworthy, definitely; and most likely a good guy. Policy-wise I agree with him and the NDP more than any other party (actually, the Greens under May but that ship has sunk), and he has been quite effective at forcing some good out of the past-their-due-date Liberals; but in all honesty, he has never had the strength of presence like Trudeau or Layton.

I’ll likely be voting for them in the next election (not that it matters in fucking CPC-washed Alberta), but I’ve always wished he were a stronger leader.

Yeah, I can’t say I’m surprised that a Nazi would dislike Trudeau.

No, that’s sadly not true anymore (if it ever was).

Alberta’s government is just as fucking insane as any Republican. The rural areas and small towns are redneck Christian hives of intolerance. I got called a “hippie cock-slurper” in the parking lot of a Lethbridge store, presumably because I have long hair. (And ignoring the point that I was getting into the car with my wife and toddler.)

Edmonton is a mix of blue collar and academia, and is a bit of a hard city but I love it. They’re reliably left-leaning. Calgary is very money-driven and tends to vote more conservatively (for lower corporate taxes), but hasn’t been supporting the UCP that much.

Oh that’s easy. They’ll be destroyed by a party that can’t lose an election.

The UCP just introduced the most extreme anti-trans legislation in North America. They have been methodically and relentlessly destroying public healthcare, and handing private contracts to their friends. Education has been revamped with a curriculum that explicitly promotes oil and gas production, denies the harm of residential schools, and encourages rote memorization over comprehension. Oh yes, and public charter schools. They’ve recently started to make inroads on ultimately banning abortion.

And they’ll get reelected, over and over again.

Nope.

This is going to shift Canadian politics to the right, and embolden the fascists. This just significantly increased Poilievre’s chances of winning.

In a word…

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

How are you going to stop a fascist CPC from coming to power?

This happens in the US, Canada, and many other western democracies.

The difference this time is that it’s not just the GOP being shitty, it’s an unhinged Nazi who just got elected, and has spent four years purging the party of unfaithful.

I don’t think you actually did get my point.

The fascists are the majority. The majority will do nothing because they chose this, and you - the people fighting fascism - are in the minority.

I’m not saying I disagree with you, but it is important to understand that your revolution is actually going against the will of the American people.

Unless you make voting mandatory, that will always be the case. Regardless, the split amongst non-voters is statistically likely to be the same as the people who actually voted. Consider the election to be an information poll, with a sample size of ~65% of the entire eligible population.

So with updated numbers, Trump got 72.5M out of ~240M eligible voters, so yeah you could say that 70% of the population didn’t vote for him. But then to be clear, you should also look at Harris’s 68M votes, and say that 72% of the population didn’t vote for her.

The people who mark and deposit their ballots are the only measure we have of the nation’s opinion, and in that contest a majority of the votes went to Trump.

No, that’s a misleading number.

27% of the entire eligible population voted for him. Less than that voted for Harris. About 45% of eligible voters didn’t bother.

So Trump got more than 50% of the popular vote, as well as the majority of seats. First past the poll is a terrible system, but it’s not the system that’s at fault here, it’s the voters.

I’m not an American, but I can’t help but notice something:

A clear majority elected Trump. Over 71 million Americans went out of their way to vote for him, saying “I am proud to be a Nazi.”

If you are going to fight (either figuratively or physically), then understand that a majority of the USA supports a fascist state.

Honestly, a person’s actual post history should be more relevant and indicative to whether they’renworth engaging with tham a single number.

Furthermore, aside from deliberate trolls, most comments or posts should be assessed on their own merits, irrespective of the poster’s history.

People are complex, and it’s possible that raving political idiots might have thoughtful opinions on their favourite video game or the aspects that make a perfect butt.

Followong a user.

Yes.

Yes it is.

This is the most aggressively anti-trans bill enacted in Canada. It is a desparate attemot to keep David Parker from trying to get her ousted, in favour of someone even more extreme,

Honestly, these policies are 100% successful, if you consider their goal.

Forced treatment isn’t intended to help people get clean. Nor is it intended to even keep them off the street.

The goal of forced treatment is to PUNISH people for using drugs. It is intended to hurt them, and drive them farther from a support network.

And at this, it is incredibly good.

Could actually be MCA - Make Canada America.
