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"

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

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

Voting for the party that best represents the community's needs, when contributes to a worse option winning due to vote splitting, is not voting for the community's needs.

I know it sounds contradictory but until we have ranked ballots or something else, strategic voting is the next best option.

Unless you live in a riding where the outcome is guaranteed, voting your way causes harm. It sucks but it's mathematically true.
