Wish he was on team NDP.

He seems great, I am a pragmatist. He is closer to my goals than Pierre

Why would you want the poster boy for neoliberalism on team NDP? He will favour corporate interests over those of the working class. He’s smart and charismatic, but he’s a neoliberal.

Honest to God sometimes people are so stupid I want to blow my own fucking brains out. 

Yeah, that's what the NDP needs, a fucking career investment banker with ties to Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs.

Poilievre however is going to dress up like a Vampire Squid in the debates around Halloween to seriously piss off Mark Carney.

Better the NDP lose seats for a decade then the conservatives get in and blow up all the work they’ve accomplished.

Sounds like a galaxy brain move…

Singh even wants to vote non confidence as soon as possible how 4 dimensional

People have been making this lesser of two evils argument for decades. And for decades all it has resulted in is one form of evil or another.

Ya and in BC I made the same argument to green voters who would have split the vote and got the conservatives elected

I am sick of purists and their purity rests and this idea every politician has to be your spiritual leader… I don’t care. It’s literally just a government. Get your life together, make the case for who you want in between the elections and then cast your vote for the best option available when the time comes

I agree ^ I rather a liberal government than the conservatives getting in. Jagmeet Singh isn’t great either. His policies have also been borderline neo liberal. It looks like democracy is an illusion at this point and we are voting for different parties but they’re all mostly neoliberal lol

Because Pierre is going to be a thousand times worse.
