Perhaps you’d be so kind as to tell me what you think I’m telling you. I’m struggling to see the gotcha in making a choice while preserving skepticism.
I suspect a big part of it is me not being particularly clear in my messaging nor successfully using an overtly obvious comedic tone. It’s a miss on my part by virtue of drive-by commentary ha ha.
The main intent to my joke was pointing to the asymmetry between how the left and right tend to view party leaders - the left tends to be more skeptical to the leader of their own movement, where the right tends to evangelize them, and how Canada is USA light in this context (MAGA for instance is a Trump religion, whereas there was no such movement around Kamala - PP attempted to emulate this, where Carney kind of jumped in as the Liberals “best compromise” (in light of Trudeau and Freeland’s numbers)).
It’s also why the Overton window continuously moves right.

Ah, ok. Comedy is hard. 😄
