It really grossed me out when they voted to remove the word "socialism" from all of their official documentation and party constitution. I haven't been able to see them the same since.

I have hope they'll go in a new direction after Jagmeet but I don't know if the party will ever be like how it was. Really seems like the sun has set for the NDP after Jack Layton. Also every fucking email asks me for $20 that I don't have without offering updates on the actual campaign or ways to get involved; just fundraising emails with no info.

They really lack any kind of fighting spirit at the national level and in Ontario (don't know about other provinces, sorry). This isn't even really about Jagmeet but the leaders of the party at the convention level; their decisions make the party look like a kicked dog that's too scared to take up space.

We need confidence, we need socialist ideas, we need some fucking energy and not the corporate veneer that the NDP thinks will give them the legitimacy they want so bad. Only actual displays of concrete leadership will give them that.
