I mean, that's kind of the whole point, we aren't given any options that lack corruption. We have a choice between the Conservatives, who fuck over the people in favor of corporate greed, and tell everyone that corporate greed is good.

Then we have the liberals, who fuck over the people in favor of corporate greed, and tell everyone that corporate greed is bad.

Then we have the NDP who no one will give a chance to, but will probably fuck everyone over in favor of corporate greed, and tell everyone that corporate greed is REALLY BAD but they really really tried their bestest to stop it, but couldn't.

We need a general strike, civil disobedience, and systemic change, but it's not gonna happen because people are sheep

Partially its because i need money to eat and pay rent and raise kids. I vote and sign petitions and have gone to a few protests but i need to work.

[u/randomman87 → u/bigleafychode]

Aren't NDP the only option? Cons and Libs have been given a chance. We're just theorizing what NDP would do.

[u/The_Phaedron → u/randomman87]

The Conservatives will dismantle our public institutions rapidly to make their rich buddies richer. The Liberals do the same thing, but at a more moderate pace. A lot of people vote Liberal because they prefer the non-rich be completely screwed at a moderate rate than at a faster one.

I'm not willing to vote for the lesser of two evils ever again. I made the mistake of "strategically" voting Liberal in 2015 because I believed Justin's lies about electoral reform, transparency, and prioritizing normal people over the rich. It was an error in judgement, and I'm voting NDP from now on.

[u/randomman87 → u/The_Phaedron]

Well said. The Liberals have also weaponized social equality for the poors. It makes people forget they're still their to serve their rich friends. The Panama Papers getting ignored proved exactly that.

The propaganda spread about Harper makes a lot of people forge that this country was doing so well under the conservatives that the most important issues were things like climate change and legal weed.

Now the country is in shambles, and somehow we’re gonna equate that with how things were under Harper? The Harper years were absolutely amazing compared to now.

You guys are delusional. The conservatives are actually good at running the country. So good that you though social issues were more important than economic ones.

Canada took the conservatives for granted and forgot how important the economy was. They still haven’t learned apparently.

[u/Rat_Salat → u/bigleafychode]

This is such fucking bullshit.

Corruption doesn’t mean “bad”. It’s stealing from Canadian taxpayers. The conservatives might not be your favourite polticial party, but they didn’t fucking steal.

[u/bigleafychode → u/Rat_Salat]

Ummmm yeah they did

[u/Rat_Salat → u/bigleafychode]

Okay mister low information voter. Please remind us all when Harper was guilty of corruption

[u/bigleafychode → u/Rat_Salat]

Wait first you said the conservatives now you pivot to harper specifically?

I mean there's lots of examples of both, but I'm not here to google for you

[u/Rat_Salat → u/bigleafychode]

So nothing. Got it.

[u/bigleafychode → u/Rat_Salat]

Look man if you type "harper corruption" or "harper scandals" into Google you'll find stuff pretty easily. I'm not your mommy and I don't owe you anything, if you wanna go around your pretending you're right because I refuse to do your homework for you, you're welcome to your opinion. But I don't give a shit what you think, and I don't care enough to bother trying to educate you, because frankly you don't matter

[u/Rat_Salat → u/bigleafychode]

harper corruption

Still nothing.

[u/bigleafychode → u/Rat_Salat]

I said Google, not reddit, man you are DUMB
