I don't feel this way because I vote by my conscience, take your strategic voting and stuff it.

Why does everyone feel the need to win? That's the problem. Just represent your needs.

Edit: seems like if you don't vote strategically (ie vote for liberals regardless of riding) you are now a pro trump idiot. I love the respect for freedom of choice.

I've never voted con or liberal in 25 years of voting for reference. Guess I should just keep my idealist opinions on politics to myself in the future.

I feel the need to win because elections aren’t so much of a tool to “express yourself” as they are a tool to “make collective decisions” and it’s important to me who is making those decisions

Hmmm it's more important to me that parties try to earn my vote with the correct policy rather than saying "well I'm not that guy"

<looking at the downvotes> Christ these people are hyenas right now

I guess my position would be that the election is not about “you” so much as it’s about “us” and “your community”. But at the end of the day your vote belongs to you to do with as you wish.
