      There’s a not insignificant number of people that share their beliefs and are tired of hiding that fact. Combined with a decent number of single issue voters that don’t give a shit about anything other than their own issue.

        I’m not only talking about Canada, but globally. Fascists are worming their way into power all over the place, while spitting vitriol.

          What if i told you fascism is a symptom. We are not doing enough to maintain and better our societies. This is what you get when you fuck over everyone by letting bad actors reign supreme.

          We need a new party to vote for. We need to change HOW we govern ourselves.

          But we dont and wont as long as people care more about benfitting themselves, to hell with everyone else.

          You want to fix it?

          you need good people with the support of enough people to be voted in and be able to operate without needing to kowtow to special/selfish interests.

          It means allowing that we are NOT all the same. We dont agree on much right now, not enough of us.

          It also requires sacrifice by those who have been mistreated. That is the bitterest pill of all

            I am aware. I’m asking about the broad issue that’s literally affecting the world, which Canada is a part of.

              Then you should have made that clear in your first message because you’re starting an unrelated conversation.

                The general claim was crystal clear to me. You don’t need to be a dick if you didn’t understand at first. Also, not an unrelated conversation.

        23 votes away from power is statistical error away from power.
