It wasn’t, though. Look at where “strategic” voting has gotten us: A descent into a situation where the lesser of the two evils is almost completely indistinguishable from the greater of the two of them AND WE HAD THE NDP. THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE OPTIONS, DUMBASS.

Anyone who thinks the NDP would have been worse than the Liberals despite all of what’s happening now being fully unsurprising is deeply unserious as a person and their opinions on the matter are beyond worthless. You didn’t vote against PP, you voted against progressive ideology and I will NOT pity you for your stupid, short-sighted nonsense about “lesser of two evils”.

We didn’t avoid ANY-FUCKING-THING and all we did was reinforce the idea that progressive politics aren’t popular in this country. Everything wrong with this god-forsaken place can be directed right back at the gutless, snivelling cowards who either vote center or don’t even fucking show up at all. I am SICK AND TIRED of trying to make you idiots feel comfortable, figure it out or get out of the fucking way.

I don't think the NDP had a snowballs chance in hell. They didn't have a decent leader.

I've voted NDP most of my life. But that part lost any chance at leadership when Jack Layton died.

Jagmeet Singh wasn't a real candidate this time.

“I never supported them and they never have a chance, and I have no ability to see how those two things are related!”

“Singh wasn’t perfection so instead I elected a goblin-ass banker who’s essentially a Harper era conservative, in a time when we desperately need progressive politics!”

You’re a fucking joke, bud. You didn’t vote against the Conservatives, you voted for a very conservative party and against progressive politics. You need to come to terms with that.

You missed the part where I've voted for NDP my whole life.

I did not feel jagmeet Singh was a competent enough person for current situation. He had his chance to prove that to me and vote for his party again like I voted for him to be where he was already. He failed us. Carney hasn't sold us out to America yet. PP would have done it on day 1. I was afraid of that happening. It was heading in the wrong god damn direction and we needed to align together behind someone who could do the job.

That wasn't Jagmeet Singh. Sorry dude. Life sucks and there are terrible choices.

You act like Carney is trump. He's not. He's kamala Harris. She's not good. But she would have been better than Trump.

Grow the fuck up. Please. We need you.
