It is crazy how there is no middle ground anymore. Either you are righty or lefty.

I don't like both sides, but I do like calling both sides out on their bullshit. In the end, everyone just hates me while I watch the fireworks haha.

I always thought the public ousting Jason Kenney was comical.

That was only after the covid debacle. He managed to piss off everybody with his wishy washy lockdown procedures and policies etc.

that's not how it works, with the right, you're either with em, or you're a "libTARD", no middle ground.

The most lenient in the country, by a country mile.
But not good enough... I needed to be able to bob for apples at a super-church with my cousins and new immigrants from Sudan. Kenney needed to go. I was denied.

I think the real question no one is asking…

Now that the election is over so Toma’s meds start working again and he can go back to his pudding and away from his moms computer?

As opposed to being a racist boomer being conservative leaning? Come on man… You know darn well both sides are just as guilty of the idiocy.

How many more years / elections to go before things go orange?

I’m pretty sure you could drop kick a baby on live TV in Olds and still dominate as the UCP

[ExtraSlow]

Fucking baby deserved it.

Hard to imagine AB orange but I do think the UCP is spiralling and in trouble. The crazies are getting a lot more vocal and bold as they’re starting to follow the path of the right wing south of the border. It’ll be an interesting line they walk trying to keep the wild rose half under control and not wanting to fracture while also not losing out on the middle voters.

Canada is also dead set on mass immigration regardless of whether we can handle it or not. Presumably this will also continue Alberta’s rapid rise in population which will also be an interesting factor. Do we get more conservatives from other provinces or do we get younger people who tend to vote left fleeing the unaffordable mess of Van and Tor.

probably do what the south is doing, get late career lawyers and big business owners who can fund themselves and just flood the media with propaganda to overshadow the competition. More (real) capitalists taking advantage of common folk, that's how you win.

And if someone isn't on the left, theyre an abortion hating, church going, oil baron who will punch a homeless guy for $5 to get ahead in life. All conservatives want conversion therapy, hate healthcare and will destroy the environment at all costs.

Right? Am I getting it right?!

You think you're helping by pointing out how ridiculous "the other side talks" but shit like that just builds resentment and further division. People can't have normal conversations about politics anymore without triggering someone, as if their political views make up their entire identity.

The irony of reddit is that they're all building each other up in an echo chamber, and someone comes in with any sort of different view and then the hate train starts. The very liberal foundational ideology of teaching people not to hate other genders, races, etc goes out the window when you share a different political view. The selective hate of some but not others is hilariously hypocritical.

The very people who are actually super judgy about genders, abortion, races etc tend to be super religious people. The very people taught to love everyone and practice patience and forgiveness goes out the window when you're not on their side.

Funny how both extreme examples on either side tend to be loud social retards

Shall be interesting to see what level of far right nutbags they put into Ministries, not a lot of moderates made it in..

Desantis is either so far right that it doesn't make sense, or he is so far left that it does. The middle is a lie.

This is incorrect. There's no more left.

NDP is Centrist. Liberals a bit right of that, UCP is just a bunch of dipshit rejects.
