      So they show us that they can represent(lead) their people even when it’s diffocult and even when the most power they have is leveraging their very few seats under a minority government and that doesn’t show leadership potential to you? And the Liberals showed us over and over that the most they can be trusted with is not making things massively worse on purpose. And I’m still not forgiving them for promising voting reform to get elected and throwing it out when they learned that if people actually had a real choice they’d likely never win again.

      Canadians need to grow up. We sit here absolutely terrified to the point where the Liberals can do whatever they want since no one is paying attention and no one has the slightest spine necessary to stand up against them. They could run a stale bagel against some super charismatic NDP leader and it wouldn’t matter if the voter base is just going to say “I don’t want to vote for them but I need to”. We’re trained like abused dogs to run back to our shitty owners out of fear of retribution.

      Be serious.

          How have I proved that the NDP weren’t an option? My entire complaint was that people believe them to not be an option, I’ve never argued that, but that they are intensely wrong about every point that gets brought up in support of their cowardice and/or they should stop lying about the fact that they never wanted to vote for them in the first place. Maybe you lost the plot somewhere along the road here but I’ve been very consistent about why I originally commented and how I’ve been talking about it.

          Then again, we’ve already been over that strategic voters aren’t super good at paying attention or keeping the goalposts in one place.
