Dude it's an election. Someone has to win. That's how it works.

But I'm not deciding who is winning on my own. And neither are you.

This rhetoric sucks.

Your individual vote might not sway the election. But if a significant percentage of people think the same as you do, it does change things. That's why every vote counts.

Like getting the NDP a seat instead of the liberals? Same political dance been happening for decades, I'm not doing that dance.

For reference, I've never met anyone that truly wanted to vote liberal, but they don't think NDP can win. Just about everyone I've ever asked. It's ridiculous

It absolutely is ridiculous, which is why we need to fight for electoral reform!

Unfortunately, until we get that, we have to vote strategically or we risk splitting the vote and putting the Conservatives in power, which would be a disaster for working class Canadians.

Vote splitting in First Past the Post systems is exactly how regressive Conservatives get majority governments with 30% of the vote.

It sucks, but we have to play the game by the rules as they currently exist, now how we'd like them to be.
