“Hey guys, I’m not going to tell you what I plan to do with power once I get it because Shartgargle says it’s the best option. Vote for me, though.”
It’s called having a platform. Saying what you’re gunna do if you win is the whole point of campaigning.

Walking around most places, the mandatory width for a sidewalk is often considered free game for basically anything. And we can never expand that and demand minimum clear-space with no intrusions because heaven for-fucking-bid pedestrians are comfortable.
Fun fact: Firefighters in the US and Canada are so bee-dicked that it’s actually their refusal to use smaller trucks that leads to insane road widths. Most other places in the world do more with smaller but the losers over here just can’t hack it.

Rep. Ilhan Omar says she will move out of her Washington, DC, home after federal search

As the others have said…who’s gunna put them in prison? If people actually get out there and vote progressive then MAYBE, but as it stands the GOP is just chasing power for the power, that’s all.
Trump is literally guilty of dozens of felonies and a judge said “yea but he wants to hold the highest office in the land so I’m gunna let him go.”

Ai would certainly be cheaper, and much less emotionally unstable even given how completely fucked it is.

No sign of late BC NDP surge as Conservatives lead by five points: poll | Globalnews.ca

It isn’t just that they can unify, but they’re masters of cognitive dissonance. They’ll make up all kinds of excuses to rally around a single point, and they don’t often consider the other views of a politician so long as their personal interest is pandered to in some way. Conservative parties rarely split because they simply do not need to. Technically, they are split(CPC and LPC) but upsettingly simple branding has kept them separate.
Meanwhile, the same problem exists with our other major parties except instead of pushing left, most of the country falls in line with the “center” and we get full-blown capitalist goblins in the form of the LPC. The LPC claims that we need to make a sacrifice to fight the CPC but will NEVER admit that it’s the centrists who need to go progressive.

Ban cars from populated areas
Reply in thread
Around COVID, the used market went insane because the supply of new cars got fucked up. People really liked that their well-used car was getting a high price and now new sellers want a piece of that. Kinda like how someone is told their house is only going to sell for 2x what they paid instead of 3x and they throw a hissy-fit.
So used cars are also really expensive, which is…fun. Couple that with the insanely toxic car culture of the US and you get a perfect recipe of sellers over-pricing and people who are FAR too eager to pay those prices. Market pressure almost doesn’t exist because that would imply people actually have choices(to own a car) or willpower(to maintain what they have).

What is skinny

Ariana Grande looks like she has a very serious eating disorder. She’s not skinny, she looks malnourished.
It’s like saying that a Honda Civic is a muscle car because someone rolled up in a poorly setup Kei car.

They’re almost identical, when it comes down to it. We can’t really vote against the CPC by voting LPC, so all the “better than PP” crap is less than meaningless. We also don’t live in a two party system and have the NDP who are objectively, despite any criticism, leagues better than either of our conservative parties.

They’ve already mutilated a few people. Besides, if your police are the type to pop off a few murders that should be even more reason to get mad.

Oh no they resign?! Get real. And the rate at which employees are punished for doing pretty much anything while the laws do not protect them is near criminal enough. In the US, being jobless is a legitimate threat on your health and safety but in many places you can be fired just for the hell of it. Even if you have a good reason, there are a myirad of ways they will attempt to supress you.
CEOs don’t got to jail for hurting working people, they go to jail for pissing off other rich people.

Yes, because the rich in the US know that, once people get it out of their system, they stop fighting. After all those protests, they still got to see Trump elected, both because the idiots voted for him and the DNC barreled on with Blue-no-matter-who(read: Ignore the will of the people and be complicit in your opponent’s win).
Protests need to come with SOME kind of consequences. The US does not practice consequences for the rich and powerful at nearly any level.

How can i stop feeling like a loser?
I know plenty of people who do have hobbies and all that, and they are plenty losers. Being a loser isn’t about having an empty CV, it’s more of a vibe thing. If you can keep yourself generally clean, have a few neat things you do(you seem to), and can generally keep things together when other people are relying on you then you’re doing great.
The defining traits for losers are people who blame others for all problems(sometimes it really is there fault, but you know what I mean), are generally nasty, and who make people uncomfortable. If someone doesn’t do those things they may or may not be boring, but they won’t be a loser.

Ok…so you claimed with very little basis that Singh wasn’t up to the task at hand, claimed that Carney was, then admitted that he has been almost entirely useless(licking USA boot actually makes him complicit and, frankly, a traitor as well being a massive understatement), and you still aren’t getting it?! Carney has done almost nothing truly positive and, as usual, anything good has been stuff the NDP would have done better. Right now I’m seeing ads for the Canadian dental plan, a thing which the NDP made happen through coalition, because they can’t help but take credit for the thing they were forced to do by better people.
I swear to god, you “strategic voters” must have some kind of fetish or some kind of unaddressed psychological trauma that leads you to these decisions. I wish you had just been normal stupid, but instead your admissions that Carney has been shit, while still defending him, just kinda leaves me with an intense feeling hopelessness. It’s truly depressing sharing a country with you and knowing that, outside of the truly brain-dead CPC voters, millions of Canadians can see the correct answers, agree they’re correct, and then still shoot themselves, and everyone else, in the foot.
For the love of fuck, please listen to even just yourself.
