MODERATORS
You're doing amazing work here. Not enough people are trying to make an effort to understand far right voters. You don't have to agree with the policies, but you do still have to make an effort to understand why they appeal to people and makes them want to vote that way.
Liberal parties (Democrats, LPC, etc.) have been ignoring this for far too long and in my opinion, that's why they keep losing. They lose and blame the voters for not seeing the world the way they do, but they don't have any understanding or perspective of what the world looks like through the eyes of these voters. That's why they don't have any appeal and things are just going to continue getting worse as long as they continue ignoring the real issues that affects voters.
(Unless a real alternative party emerges, I suppose....)
I'm listening to the CBC right now and the prevailing opinion I'm hearing is that the Democrats lost because Biden waited too long to step aside. Talk about learning all the wrong lessons.
Watch how the Liberal narrative will emphasize that. They want Trudeau to step aside, and if (when) they lose to the Cons they'll say it's because Trudeau wouldn't step aside. Or if he does step aside, he didn't step aside early enough.
Of all the things they learned from this election, it's how to make excuses when they lose. Somehow, my opinion of the Liberal party continues to sink even lower. I didn't even think that was possible...
