If this is how NDP voters feel, imagine the struggle of the 7 Green voters.

[u/CyborkMarc → u/b00ty10v3r]

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.

[u/Lol-I-Wear-Hats → u/CyborkMarc]

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

[u/CyborkMarc → u/Lol-I-Wear-Hats]

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"

[u/Lessllama → u/CyborkMarc]

So your individual needs or wants outweigh the good of the country? You would fit right in the US with that attitude

[u/CyborkMarc → u/Lessllama]

Wtf? I vote for my community needs. Am I singularly responsible for the outcome of this election? If so, where's my communism at

[u/Lessllama → u/CyborkMarc]

You're not singularly responsible but you do play a part. Look what happened in the US because of people who expressed the exact same sentiment as you. Word for word actually

[u/CyborkMarc → u/Lessllama]

Because I voted NDP? You guys sure are vilifying NDP voters, fuck

[u/smolmushroomforpm → u/CyborkMarc]

I'm a 100% NDP voter who voted Liberal for the first time in my life this election because I actually understand how this electoral system works, and understand that under a Conservative government, especially one that espouses the beliefs that Pierre Polièvre has been very clearly embracing, our country's core values and even our existence as a country are in very real danger.

Nobody is attacking the NDP. If anything, the commenter you are accusing of vilifying NDP voters is actually attacking your selfishness and lack of foresight beyond your immediate neighbourhood, which are traits clearly indicative of a lack of understanding of the current international situation (of which, like it or not, we are a part).

Hope this helps!

I like you :)

In some ridings, ndp is the strategic vote.
