MODERATORS
Wow. That could make him go down in the polls. Not a great move.
It won't. He has a bedrock of support thanks to basic political tribalism, and he and his handlers probably calculate that they run a greater risk of alienating their base if they run moderate, than running moderate and raising their ceiling. And given how badly the opposite strategy has worked for the NDP (which is alienating it's base to chase the middle) he's not wrong.
tl;dr: if he keeps acting like a protofascist, he'll keep his job, and he might even win if enough people feel Trudeau has worn out his welcome.
I don't think that's possible. Who else will Conservatives vote for? The CPC could act like LPC/NDP and they'd still get their core voters to vote them in because as long as they aren't 'red' or 'orange'.. they're 'good'.
They'd stay home on the general election, and vote for someone to replace Pollievre in the next leadership review.
Pollievre knows he needs to keep feeding red meat to the proto-fascist base, lest they turn on him.
No that fanbase does not stay home. They will vote blue even if they ran a rock as their leader.
Do I have the option to vote for an inanimate object? It could be a step up.
Exactly. Not voting means your team won't get elected and for many, it is a team sport.
They hate the opposition more than they could hate themselves.
