Then you are part of the problem, and you will give us a Conservative government. Fuck you and your strategic voting. I have no use for your limp, pathetic kind of liberal.

It’s defeatist and solves nothing.
I’m not white. Here’s the thing though, whoever you want to vote for, go ahead and vote for them. I’m just giving my reasons why I think people should vote a certain way, but you’re free to disagree.
The Democrats have a range of strong candidates so this is is exactly the right time to aim high. If Biden manages to fail his way into the general election, then it’ll be time to settle.
I’m Asian, not white, and the analogy you used is just gross.
If we had a proportional representation system, I would vote for one of the other parties. But we don’t. As you should know we have a first-past-the-post, winner take all system. If my vote in my riding for the NDP or Greens leads to a Conservative winning, I couldn’t live with myself. Sorry, I am NOT wiling to…
Look, I want to vote for another party, but let’s be real here, neither the NDP or Greens have a chance in hell of forming the next government. Seriously, do want the Conservatives (with actual racists in the party), and a leader previously said he doesn’t believe same sex marriage is “real” marriage? Sorry, I live…
It’s a little different. I’ve I were an American citizen, I would definitely want Warren to lead the Democrats. But, in the unfortunate event that Biden got the nomination, you have to vote for him, because the alternative is Trump. In my case, I wish the Liberal party had a different leader, but I would rather…
Ah yes, Stephen Harper, who “re-opened” the question of same sex marriage as soon as he got into office, who scrapped the previous government’s child day care program, who silenced government scientists on the environment, and tried to use Islamophobia to try to get re-elected. Please. Trudeau is not a great PM, but…
I’ll take him over the full-on, white supremacist-courting Andrew Scheer.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but would a Conservative party be better? No, they’ll probably be worse.
Aside from wanting to keep the Conservatives from power. We don’t know how many seats (if any) the Greens and NDP will get.
As a Canadian, the fact is, what Justin Trudeau did was racist. There’s no getting around that fact. This, and the other scandals that have been surrounding him, have left me really pissed off at the guy. But, as I’ve said on Splinter and Jezebel, when the election comes next month, I’m going to be holding my nose and…
That would be okay by me if that happens.
You’re not wrong, but frankly, I’m not willing to take that risk right now, especially with the NDP tanking right now.
I would like to see how the NDP govern at a national level, but until they are higher in the polls, I won’t take the risk voting for them. Also, my riding has always switched back and forth between Conservatives and Liberals, so voting NDP in my particular case won’t do anything.
I could hold my nose and vote Liberal, but my federal and provincial ridings are essentially NDP vs Conservative (or PC) with the Liberals a very distant third, and so I have to vote strategically.
I am aware that you don’t need a majority to form a government. That being said, I want to vote to make sure that the Conservatives don’t have that majority.
Maybe I would if the NDP were higher in the polls, but my main goal is keeping the Conservatives from forming a government, or at the very least, keep them at a minority government.
The problem is, I don’t want the Conservatives in power. As much as I want to vote for someone else, the Liberals are the only ones who have a chance to stop them.
